Now more than ever it seems like we need a show like this to shine a light on some of the ugliest events in American history. Investigation Discovery (ID) and Emmy Award-winning journalist Tony Harris are teaming up once again with premiere civil rights advocacy organization, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), to produce HATE IN AMERICA, a new documentary strand that showcases the SPLC’s efforts to combat bigotry and hate groups in the United States. The mission of the SPLC and its legendary founder, Morris Dees, are to combat the hate, intolerance and discrimination perpetuated by these groups through education, litigation and advocacy. According to the SPLC’s 2015 Intelligence Report, the number of extremist groups operating domestically grew by 14% from 2014, and the SPLC catalogued an astounding 892 hate groups in the US, including neo-Nazis, white nationalists, black separatists, Klansmen and other groups that target the LGBT community. Produced by NBC News’ award-winning production arm Peacock Productions, the documentary series HATE IN AMERICA kicks off with its first premiere on Monday, February 29 at 8/7c, showcasing the SPLC’s remarkable strides to fight organized hate over the past four decades. In the first episode of HATE IN AMERICA, titled The Klan on Trial, Harris explores some of the SPLC’s most riveting court cases, starting with the Michael Donald case – a heinous lynching of a young man in the early 1980s that prompted SPLC founder Morris Dees to sue the United Klans of America (UKA) on behalf of the victim’s mother. In this landmark court decision, the UKA’s violent leadership was held responsible for the unspeakably violent and racist acts of its members, helping to turn the tide against organized hate in our country. Harris also digs deep into the deeds of notorious white supremacist murderer Glenn Miller, who most recently made national headlines when he went on a shooting spree at a Kansas Jewish Community Center in April 2014. The first episode of HATE IN AMERICA, The Klan on Trial premieres on Monday, February 29 at 8/7c on Investigation Discovery, with subsequent premieres airing throughout 2016. Will you be watching?

Dothan, Alabama Police Framed Innocent African Americans For Decades The police force Dothan, Alabama has been blasted in a new report that digs into nearly 20 years of discrimination and false imprisonment of African American citizens. A new report has exposed a cover-up of an internal affairs investigation that proved that officers in the narcotics investigation squad have routinely planted drugs and weapons on young Black men to secure charges against them since the mid 90’s — motivated by the squad’s affiliation with a racist neo-Confederate group. Via Henry County Report : The Alabama Justice Project has obtained documents that reveal a Dothan Police Department’s Internal Affairs investigation was covered up by the district attorney. A group of up to a dozen police officers on a specialized narcotics team were found to have planted drugs and weapons on young black men for years. They were supervised at the time by Lt. Steve Parrish, current Dothan Police Chief, and Sgt. Andy Hughes, current Asst. Director of Homeland Security for the State of Alabama. All of the officers reportedly were members of a Neoconfederate organization that the Southern Poverty Law Center labels “racial extremists.” The group has advocated for blacks to “return” to Africa, published that the civil rights movement is really a Jewish conspiracy, and that blacks have lower IQ’s. The documents shared reveal that the internal affairs investigation was covered up to protect the aforementioned officers’ law enforcement careers and keep them from being criminally prosecuted. Several long term Dothan law enforcement officers, all part of an original group that initiated the investigation, believe the public has a right to know that the Dothan Police Department, and District Attorney Doug Valeska, targeted young black men by planting drugs and weapons on them over a decade. Most of the young men were prosecuted, many sentenced to prison, and some are still in prison. Many of the officers involved were subsequently promoted and are in leadership positions in law enforcement. They hope the mood of the country is one that demands action and that the US Department of Justice will intervene. The group of officers requested they be granted anonymity, and shared hundreds of files from the Internal Affairs Division. SMH!!! As awful and messed up as this is…it sadly isn’t shocking. We wonder how many other precincts across the nation have been up to the same tricks, but haven’t been caught yet.
Jessa Duggar and Ben Seewald appeared at the Southern Women’s Show in Orlando last week, and the unscripted Q&A session yielded some serious gaffes and surprising revelations. First we learned that Jessa and Ben responded to claims that they’re broke and effectively unemployed by…encouraging their fans to shop at Ross? We’re hoping that was part of an endorsement deal. Anyway, Jessa and Ben’s random money-saving tips were quickly overshadowed by the announcement that Jessa’s home birth will be featured on a TLC special about the Seewalds. That obviously drew an excited response from the crowd, but it seems Jessa and Ben weren’t through offering tips about how to maintain a happy home. Hey, no one understands marriage better than a couple of newlyweds in their early 20s, right? Take it away, Seewalds: Jessa Duggar & Ben Seewald’s Marriage Advice Yes, Jessa and Ben opened up about what goes on in their bedroom at night – and there was nothing remotely sexy about it. Apparently, the Seewalds have a rule against arguing “in the evening” because they feel that “everything is more dramatic at night.” They say they turn to the Bible to help them settle disputes, but frankly, that quote sounds more like tagline from Josh’s Ashley Madison profile !
