The Southern Poverty Law Center, which is best known for its extensive list of hate groups, is racist, according to its employees.
SPLC Union members protested outside of their employer's office Monday in opposition to the legal advocacy group's plan to require certain employees to return to in-person work. The union, in a statement, claimed the move targets black women because it primarily requires workers in low-level positions to return to the office.
"Staff in more highly regarded job classifications and who are higher-paid employees are being given the flexibility to work remotely, while women, Black, brown, and lower-paid employees are forced back into the office regardless of our work, our needs, and our advocacy for more inclusive treatment," Lisa Wright, a union bargaining committee member, said. "Forcing employees back into the office isn't about collaboration or cooperation—this is about policing and surveillance of SPLC's lowest-paid employees."The SPLC did not respond to a request for comment on who exactly will be required to return to the office.
The SPLC publishes an annual "hate map" that has attracted controversy for listing conservative organizations as hate groups. A gunman in 2012 entered the Family Research Council, a pro-family advocacy group, in an attempted mass shooting, which he said was inspired by the SPLC labeling the group as anti...

Gas Tax Rebates, Suspensions Are Gimmicky ‘Solutions’ to Problem Government Caused
Across Joe Biden’s America, motorists are suffering from gas pains.
In Chicago, for example, on March 25, the average price for a gallon of regular was $4.85. Two years earlier, on March 25, 2020, when Donald Trump was president, the price there was $2.16. In Los Angeles, the price late last week was $5.91, compared with $3.08 just two years ago.
The solution should be crystal clear: Drill here and drill now. And permanently lower gasoline taxes as well. But Democrats are floating a number of government “solutions” to the supply problem that their policies created.
Biden is fond of blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine for today’s hyperinflated prices, but the real culprit is the War on Oil, led by former bartender Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who can now afford to drive a snow-white Tesla Model 3. The New York Democrat pays no gas taxes for her Model 3.
But for every gallon of gasoline, the average Chicago motorist pays 81.4 cents in federal, state, and city taxes, the latter of which was raised by 3 cents on New Year’s Day 2021.
For the average Californian, taxes and fees are even worse, totaling $1.18 per gallon. California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s “solution”? Eight hundred dollars per household in rebates.
Newsom proposes to offer $400 debit cards to every vehicle owner in the state, limited to two vehicles per household. There would be no income-eligibility restrictions, so multimillionaires such as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her fellow California Democrat, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, and their husbands would each receive $800.
The debit cards would even go to drivers who own electric cars. To ensure “equity,” they would also be sent to illegal aliens who have registered vehicles.
For those who can’t afford even one car, Newsom’s proposal includes $750 million to give public transit users free rides for three months. Not surprisingly, it also features $500 million for projects throughout the state that promote biking and walking.
Getting in touch with his inner Biden, Newsom explained why he was willing to give away $11 billion of the state’s budget surplus. “We’re taking immediate action to get money directly into the pockets of...

White Males Need Not Apply? ‘Colorblind’ Group Accuses American Express of Racist Policies
Look for a “Colleague Network” at American Express that supports whites, particularly white males, and that search will be in vain because the multinational credit card corporation has embraced discriminatory policies, according to a nonprofit group that advocates “a unified America.”
American Express lists 14 Colleague Networks in its 2021 Inaugural Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Report, put together as part of a $1 billion action plan unfurled by the corporation more than a year ago.
Examples include the Black Engagement Network, the PEACE Muslim Network, the Hispanic Origin, the Latin American Network, and the PRIDE+ Network.
American Express crafted its “action plan” to “promote racial, ethnic and gender equity for colleagues, customers and communities,” according to a corporate press release in October 2020.
But instead of fostering an environment where employees are hired and promoted based on merit, regardless of race, ethnicity, and gender, said Kenny Xu, president of Color Us United, American Express is making a concerted effort to implement “woke racial preferences.”
The nonprofit Color Us United, which advocates “colorblind” principles, has started a new social media campaign highlighting key parts of American Express’ 2021 report. The group is circulating a petition challenging corporate policies its members view as “harmful,” “divisive,” and “un-American.”
“A sterling example of American capitalism is being ripped apart by a woke doctrine,” the Color Us United petition declares in its opening paragraph. “As believers in the American Experiment, we can NOT allow this injustice to stand …”
‘Capitalism Is Racist’
Color Us United hopes to obtain 10,000 signatures for its petition to American Express, and has attracted almost 7,000 so far.
The petition cites examples of “egregious policies” rooted in critical race theory and “preferential contracts” that Color Us United argues are “possibly unconstitutional and illegal.”
Among those examples, the group says that American Express:
—Ties executive bonuses to racial “equity,” incentivizing managers to hire minorities even if they are less qualified than other job candidates.
—Provides training in critical race theory, teaching staff that “capitalism is racist” and asking workers to rank themselves...
