This is what I found. And some of the deaths and injuries were caused by the people you're defending, not BLM or antifa. Note that two of the 11 were killed by Kyle Rittenhouse.
"At least 11 Americans have been killed while participating in political demonstrations this year and another 14 have died in other incidents linked to political unrest, according to new data from a non-profit monitoring political unrest in the United States.
Nine of the people killed during protests were demonstrators taking part in Black Lives Matter protests. Two were conservatives killed after pro-Trump “patriot rallies”. All but one were killed by fellow citizens."

"News reports at the height of demonstrations over Floyd’s killing cited dozens of deaths in connection with protests, but many of those turned out to be examples of deadly crimes carried out in the vicinity of protests, rather than directly related to the demonstrations themselves, the researchers concluded".
It means I get the email, the letters and the newspapers sent out by the SPLC several times a year, and I read them. I know Morris Dees was canned after employees complained about the workplace environment. I know there's been controversy about some of the groups listed as hate groups, and don't agree with all of them myself. I've forgotten more about the SPLC than you've ever known.
On balance what the organization does to expose and cripple hate groups far outweighs the negative. I commend any person or organization who takes a stand against racism and bigotry.
What stand have you taken against the prejudice, discrimination and violence that's rampant in society? All I see from you is whataboutism.
