The House Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing Tuesday concerning the deeply disturbing allegations that the Southern Poverty Law Center, the nonprofit civil‑rights organization headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, that supposedly exists to combat hate and racism, actually funded neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other groups in a bid to stay more relevant, make money, and garner headlines. Sick stuff.
They claim the funds were disbursed to “informants.” Tell that to the judge.
I have Fox News on in the background, and their chyron tells you all you need to know: “SPLC Interim CEO Won’t Recant Having Charlie Kirk on Hate List.” The SPLC has long seemed to be more about fomenting division than healing America.
Dr. Martin Luther King’s niece, Dr. Alveda King, seemed to agree in her powerful testimony before the committee as she blasted the organization and said that her legendary uncle “did not dedicate his life to dividing people into categories of oppressor and oppressed.”
“I still have a dream,” she said, referring to one of MLK’s most famous and inspiring speeches, delivered in 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The dirty deeds the SPLC has allegedly been up to are not part of that dream:
MLK Jr.'s Niece, Dr. Alveda King, just EVISCERATED the Democrat scheme to prop up fake race hoaxes through the SPLC's funding of hate groups!

"I am troubled by the conduct and messaging of organizations that claim to fight hatred while profiteering from division...serious questions about the Southern Poverty Law Center."
"We do not need more lists that place citizens under suspicion because they hold sincere beliefs about faith, family life, or public policy."
"Let me be clear: I reject racism. I reject hatred. I reject white supremacy...But I also reject the notion that Americans who hold traditional Christian beliefs should be treated as threats or terrorists, simply because we disagree with a prevailing political thought."
"We must speak out for truth and against the forces that would manufacture hate, fear, division, and violence simply to line their pockets and further their political ambitions. God bless America."

I urge you to listen to the entire speech, because it’s exactly the message needed to heal the divides in the country instead of constantly stoking new division, which seems to be the aim of the Left in modern times.
She stressed her belief in God and argued that those who have faith should not be persecuted in the United States of America, of all places:
My uncle, Reverend Dr. Martin King Jr. did not dedicate his life to dividing people into categories of oppressor and oppressed. He dedicated his life to bringing people together, under the truth that every person bears the image of God. I come before you today not in anger, but in deep concern…
My family legacy reflects the very truth that America is strongest when we recognize our common humanity…
America does not need more manufactured racial tension. We do not need more with the sole intention to drive us apart. We do not need more lists that place citizens under suspicion because they hold sincere beliefs about faith, family, life, or public policy…
The dream is still very much alive, she continued, even if all too many want to profit from racial and societal tension:
Today, I still have a dream. I dream that one day, we will move the young black power and white power and embrace God's power and human dignity. I dream that Americas will one day see each other not as enemies but as neighbors.
This is the message, not the one shoved down our throats by progressives, who teach us that racial hatred is at the root of everything and we can never overcome it, and that having differences in political opinions is akin to wishing violence on those who are different from us. This is a beautiful vision, and I think MLK Jr. would have been proud.
