While Black Lives Matter continues to be the topic of national progressive and race debate, with its participants appearing in numerous media outlets while collecting generous donations from the likes of George Soros, its diametrical opposite, White Lives Matter - a group which calls itself an opponent of the Black Lives Matter movement - has just been declared a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an organization that tracks extremist groups in the United States.

"I can't speak to how many chapters will be listed, but it's clear that the leadership of the group, the ends of the group -- it's just a flat-out white supremacist group," said Heidi Beirich, director of the center's Intelligence Report, in an interview with Chron.com.  "The White Lives Matter website says their movement is dedicated to the preservation of the white race. That tells you all you need to know," Beirich added cited by the NYT. "They're against integration, immigration. This is standard white supremacist stuff."

"The ideology behind it, the racist leaders, everything about it is racist," Beirich has concluded.
