Its prominence has grown since the 1990s, attracting attention from watchdog organizations that oppose racism and antisemitism. Stormfront has been the subject of controversy after being removed from French, German, and Italian Google indices for targeting an online Fox News poll on racial segregation and for having political candidates as members. It received national attention in the United States in 2000 after being featured as the subject of a documentary,. Stormfront began as an online bulletin board system in the early 1990s before being established as a website in 1996 by former Ku Klux Klan leader and white supremacist Don Black. The site is primarily focused on propagating white nationalism, antisemitism and islamophobia, as well as anti-Hinduism, anti-feminism, homophobia, transphobia, Holocaust denial, anti-Catholicism, and white supremacy. Stormfront is a neo-Nazi Internet forum, and the Web's first major racial hate site.
