If you're talking about the author, she cited SPLC. I'm not familiar with ADL, but I'd be surprised if they're more ill-suited for assembling blacklists of racist reading material than SPLC.

The ADL was originally founded to protect a rapist that tried to get a black man that worked for him accused for the rape he committed in Atlanta but failed. It also advocates for an ethnostate in israel. That completely destroys any credibility it has.

The original article cited the SPLC, not the ADL, so this has literally nothing to do with the topic at hand except that the GP commenter's mind for some reason jumped to the ADL while trying to defend books about murdering Jews and other minorities.

Hardly defending, I’m just no fan of censorship, including the authors book.

What I don’t like is lists of books we accept as bad without reading them ourselves.
