News from SPLC

Southern Poverty Law Center May 29, 2009

New SPLC Intelligence Report released
Keith Luke Mark Potok's editorial describes a "resurgence of right-wing hate groups and radical ideas" in the United States. Five police officers have been killed by extremists in recent weeks.

Also in the issue: "From Hate to Hurt" - Experts discuss the link between hate propaganda and violence.

Abuse in Mississippi
SPLC has filed a federal class action suit to stop the horrible abuse of children at a for-profit, Mississippi detention center, where juveniles are confined in filthy, bug-infested cells for 23 hours a day with no adequate mental health or education services.

Lawsuits are just one of the strategies SPLC is using to reform a system that jails children, most of whom are poor and black, instead of providing adequate education and mental health services. SPLC President Richard Cohen is calling for a national dialogue on the issue.

This school year, more than 2 million students have benefited from the kit, which teaches about César Chávez and the 1960s California farmworker strike and grape boycott.

Wonderful Informations, Sad Stories about Hate, Racism and Fear. But Let's be optimistic about Judge Sonia Sotomayor. This is Beautiful History in the making and we should celebrate.

*************************
**************************

I am gathering dozens of Videos and articles of the press about Judge Sonia Sotomayor.

Some people like Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, Chris Matthews and Cenk Uygur are laughing and laughing at the Hyprocrisy or Republicans, because the Reps have said the same stuff that Sonia says in her "Horror" Videos.

Judges of the Supreme Court and Republican Senators have said exactly the same stuff as Sonia in other contexts.

Even George H. Bush the father of our beloved Bush has said exactly the same words that the Trilogy of Evil NPR : Newt, Pat and Rush condemn.

If Tom Tancredo hates the Non Anglo Saxons and non Nordic Whites then he should start by commiting suicide and improving the American Race, he is more Mediterranean like Brutus and Casius than a Real Viking like Leif Erikson.

That is why Cenk Uygur says that the Republicans are already defeated and that they are beginning to raise the White Flag of Surrender.

And even the Wall Street Journal loves Sonia Sotomayor because she likes Business and Capitalism, and Money has no skin color.

Look at tons of Information on Sonia here :
