Stormfront began as a BBS in 1990 and has been on the Internet since 1995. Stormfront has as many as 1,700 users logged in at one time and over 44,000 members. It is the largest online community of "White Nationalists" and has claimed to be the first website of such. Some of its members describe themselves as "National Socialists".
Owner & members
The site is run by Don Black, a self-described racialist and former leader of the Texas Ku Klux Klan. Most of the members of Stormfront say that they are opposed to any form of "race-mixing" between the human races and support various forms of racism. Many of the articles posted advocate views of white supremacy, anti-Semitism, and homophobia.
Extension of views
The creators of Stormfront.org also operate other websites on the Internet, including Martinlutherking.org [1] which, describing itself as "The truth about Martin Luther King...a valuable resource for teachers and students alike", displays prominently on its main page a link to an article advocating the repeal of the US national Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday and a link to a discussion of Martin Luther King, Jr., hosted on the Stormfront forum.
