Racial discrimination. Sexual harassment. Off-shore accounts. Inflated and biased attacks on “hate.” These are some of the many reasons Americans should mistrust the Southern Poverty Law Center.

The Southern Poverty Law Center started with noble intentions and has done much good over the years, but a pernicious corruption has undermined the organization’s original mission and contributed to a climate of fear and hostility in America. Hotels, web platforms, and credit card companies have blacklisted law-abiding Americans because the SPLC disagrees with their political views. The SPLC’s false accusations have done concrete harm, costing the organization millions in lawsuits. A deranged man even attempted to commit mass murder, having been inspired by the SPLC’s rhetoric.

How did a civil rights group dedicated to saving the innocent from the death penalty become a pernicious threat to America’s free speech culture? How did an organization dedicated to fighting poverty wind up with millions in the Cayman Islands? How did a civil rights stalwart find itself accused of racism and sexism?

Making Hate Pay tells the inside story of how the SPLC yielded to many forms of corruption, and what it means for free speech in America today. It also explains why Corporate America, Big Tech, government, and the media are wrong to take the SPLC’s disingenuous tactics at face value, and the serious damage they cause by trusting this corrupt organization.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'Hate' is the new word for 'dissent'. A must read

I was actually shocked by the level of verified corruption exposed in this book. It wasn't written with overt bias, it wasn't a 'rant', it just presented facts. Finished the book thinking that 'hate' is just the new word for 'political dissent'.

5.0 out of 5 stars The awful truth about the SPLC
Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2020

Tyler O'Neill nails the story of the organization that wants to -- and, sadly, is -- decide who can so much as express themselves on social media, college campuses and even private websites and events. The SPLC's self-appointed authority to censor free speech would be bad enough, and it is bad. But the fact that it has turned "hate" (i.e., disagreeing with the SPLC) into a seemingly limitless cash spigot mainly to enrich and aggrandize itself and its executives is the story here. Bravo to Tyler for having the courage to research and publish this book!

4.0 out of 5 stars This book is an eye opener.
Reviewed in the United States on January 16, 2023

Those of us who watch political theatre have long recognized that there are hangers-on to the American civil rights movement who care nothing about the people and their rights but who enjoy the money and perks which come from their association with it. One could name many shakedown artists who have perfected the art of the con, extracting huge amounts of money from both true believers and potential enemies. This is a book which allows us to see and critique the reasoning behind the author's categorizations regarding the SPLC and con jobs.

Having had several friends and associates who were sixties civil rights workers, one of whom was also a friend of Morris Dees, I immediately became interested when I found that there was a book which exposed some of the whispered scandals which they had attached to the SPLC.

In the small gossip mill which is Alabama politics there are a lot of stories which have grown over the past fifty years. It is extraordinarily refreshing to see some of them laid to rest, others confirmed and a few found to be much worse than expected. I enjoyed reading this book, for which I paid full Amazon price, and no, this is not a compensated review.

The book is generally readable, but it has one big problem: abbreviations. The writer will mention a group, the abbreviation for the group's name and then just use the abbreviation. This gets really bothersome for less well known organizations, so the reader might want to use a yellow marker to highlight the sentences where one or another abbreviation is defined, then create a cheat sheet on the blank page next to the table of contents, for instance: SPLC = Southern Poverty Law Center, KKK = Ku Klux Klan, FRC = Family Research Council, et cetera.

The writer opens with an introduction, explaining some of the basis for his interest in exposing the power and potential for damage that SPLC designation as a "hate group" can cause people and organizations which often just disagree with their boilerplate political viewpoint. This becomes a thematic thread which binds historical and biographical details into a coherent whole.

The bulk of the book is an in depth history of events occurring both before and after the SPLC fired Morris Dees, and which chart its rise and fall as an organization worthy of respect. There are too many historical details, quotes and findings to mention in such a brief review. I will mention thought that the author is thorough, clear, logical and well spoken.

In reading the body of the work one fact emerges: since I, like many other non attorneys, wasn't educated in the art of argument, the author's precise exposition of the SPLC's specious logic was difficult to follow without external assistance. I found the book "Bad Arguments" by Rober Arp, et al to be quite helpful to explain the basis for several of Mr O'Neil's criticisms. This or another textbook on argument would be particularly helpful, especially if the reader has trouble following the numerous examples he discusses in his synopses of a selection of the numerous legal cases which have been filed in the history of this organization.

I'd believe this book to be an important tool to help elucidate the background history, motivation and results of SPLC's categorization of other people and groups as being hateful. Reading it brings to mind the old adage, "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones".

Why did I give four stars instead of five? The two reasons were my dislike of the use of abbreviations and the fact that I felt it necessary to use a reference to understand some of the book's critique of SPLC's actions.
