Edit:
Good lord people. SPLC has a cache of emails from Stephen Miller written to various people at Breitbart about reporting their stories with explicit white nationalist ideology. You don't have to like SPLC to believe the leaked emails any more than you had to like Wikileaks to believe the leaked DNC emails.
Here's another source if you don't want to give them clicks: https://www.thedailybeast.com/stephen-miller-pushed-racist-stories-to-breitbart-leaked-emails-show https://www.thedailybeast.com/stephen-miller-pushed-racist-s...
- refurb 7y agoSPLC is not an authority on what’s white supremacy and what’s not. They’ve been known to cast a wide net.
- mikeyouse 7y agoI'd encourage you to read the link instead of whatever kind of dismissal this is. They have leaked correspondence between Stephen Miller and Breitbart coordinating the latter's coverage with an explicit nationalist bent. Breitbart relies on Camp of Saints and VDare for their sourcing on policy stories. Have we already forgotten their "Black Crime" news tag?
- DuskStar 7y ago> with an explicit nationalist bent. If that's all, it's really interesting that it became white nationalist in SPLC's reporting...
- mikeyouse 7y agoThey literally had a section on their 'news' website called "Black Crime" - the terms are synonymous. It's astonishing to me that the crowd would rather parse SPLC's phrasing or history rather than the documentary evidence that there are white nationalists making policy at the highest levels of our government and coordinating with one of Facebook's 'approved news sources'.
- DuskStar 7y agoWell, taking the maximally-charitable view of things would point out that "Black Crime" would cover ~half of violent crime in the US, and so deserve a category. But somehow I doubt that they'd cover non-black crime to quite the same extent. (Though the maximally charitable view there would be that non-black crime is better covered on other sites than black crime is, and so on)
- mikeyouse 7y agoGross.
- rpmisms 7y agoSPLC brands anything they dislike "white nationalism". They're unreliable at best.
- JungleGymSam 7y agoSPLC? Nope.
