Contrary to its cheerful name, Amazon Smile promotes the hateful agenda of far-Left ideologues, including one of the worst: The Southern Poverty Law Center.

The Southern Poverty Law Center is actively engaged in the persecution of those who do not espouse its far Left agenda.

Many groups, along with Christian groups, which the SPLC has defamed are also on Amazon’s hit list, including Jihad Watch:

For years now, the notorious far-Left smear machine, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), has defamed opponents of jihad violence and Sharia oppression as “hate group leaders,” and Amazon has banned counter-jihad 501c3 charitable organizations from its Amazon Smile charity program on the basis of the SPLC’s “hate” listings.

Of course, the SPLC claims to look out for the oppressed, but does not care about the victims of the Sharia, such as infidel women and gays. There is also plenty of dirt on the organization. In 2019, employees at the Southern Poverty Law Center spoke out “against what they say is a culture of ‘racism and sexism.‘” Before that, even Politico posed the question of the SPLC: Has a Civil Rights Stalwart Lost Its Way? And in an article in USA Today, Jessica Prol Smith, senior newswriter and editor for Alliance Defending Freedom, wrote an article entitled: “The Southern Poverty Law Center is a hate-based scam that nearly caused me to be murdered.” Last year, the SPLC stopped monitoring black hate groups “because of ‘equity.’” In the SPLC’s view, only white groups are capable of hatred and incitement.

Despite the despicable record of the SPLC, Amazon Smile continues to trust in it and collaborate with it, in its ongoing efforts to “deny admission to Christian organizations that support traditional marriage and religious freedom.” Amazon has partnered with the SPLC to persecute Christians for their deeply held beliefs.

To believe in traditional marriage and support it is not the same as promoting hatred toward those who do not believe in it. You don’t see an organized Christian targeting of those who promote transgenderism and gay marriage. They may disagree, but they do not promote bullying, hatred and targeting, using the full power of activist media and willing businesses.

Christian Organizations Continue To Make Amazon Smile’s Naughty List

by Kate Anderson, The Daily Caller, December 25, 2022:

Amazon Smile continues to deny admission to Christian organizations that support traditional marriage and religious freedom, opting instead to place them on a proverbial naughty list by recommendation of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

Amazon Smile allows customers who sign up to have 0.5% of their purchases donated to their favorite charity. Organizations on SPLC’s “designated hate groups” list, however, are barred from registering, according to Amazon’s website.

[A]mazon Smile continues to deny admission to Christian organizations that support traditional marriage and religious freedom, opting instead to place them on a proverbial naughty list by recommendation of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).

“The Southern Poverty Law Center defines a hate group as an organization or collection of individuals that – based on its official statements or principles, the statements of its leaders, or its activities – has beliefs or practices that attack or malign an entire class of people, typically for their immutable characteristics,” SPLC states. “An organization does not need to have engaged in criminal conduct or have followed their speech with actual unlawful action to be labeled a hate group.”

The SPLC accuses ADF of supporting sterilization for transgender people, likening LGBTQ individuals to pedophiles and claims that the Christian organization seeks to criminalize LGBTQ sexual behavior. ADF resoundingly denies all of the accusations and has a part of its website dedicated to combating SPLC’s claims….
