===Recent activities=== In 1995, Black founded ''Stormfront'', which was the Internet's first major racial hate site. It remains one of the most popular online resources for those drawn to racist ideologies. The site featured the writings of [[William Luther Pierce]] and David Duke as well as works by the Institute for Historical Review and the Culture of Critique series. Initially, along with these articles, ''Stormfront'' housed a library of white pride, neo-[[Nazi]] and [[White Power Skinheads|white power skinhead]] graphics for downloading, and a number of links to other white nationalist websites. In a 1998 interview for the alternative weekly newspaper ''Miami New Times'', Black was quoted as saying "We want to take America back. We know a multicultural Yugoslav nation can't hold up for too long. Whites won't have any choice but to take military action. It's our children whose interests we have to defend." In 1999, Black created the website "martinlutherking.org", which is administered by ''Stormfront''. This website was created to malign the character of Dr King. In January 2018, the site remained online and surpassed sites containing reliable content in Google search results.<ref>[https://www.thedailybeast.com/martinlutherkingorg-is-owned-by-neo-nazis MartinLutherKing.Org is Owned by Neo-Nazis], ''The Daily Beast''</ref> In December 2007, Black gained attention for donating money to Ron Paul's 2008 presidential run.<ref>[https://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/26/us/politics/ron-paul-disowns-extremists-views-but-doesnt-disavow-the-support.html Paul Disowns Extremists’ Views but Doesn’t Disavow the Support], ''The New York Times''</ref> In 2008, Black said that the establishment of white pride as a special interest group within the Republican Party is crucial. Asked by an interviewer for Italian newspaper ''la Repubblica'' if ''Stormfront'' was not just the new Ku Klux Klan, Black responded affirmatively, though he noted that he would never say so to an American journalist. On May 5, 2009 it was announced that Black was one of 22 on a British Home Office list of individuals banned from entering the United Kingdom for "promoting serious criminal activity and fostering hatred that might lead to inter-community violence".<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2009/may/05/list-of-people-banned-from-britain Home Office ‘names and shames’ 16 people banned from UK], ''The Guardian''</ref> The ''Stormfront'' forum acts as one of the largest online gatherings of Holocaust deniers in the world, with hundreds of thousands of views on threads about revising [[World War II]] history. A number of radio shows published by Black's web site have featured Holocaust denial themes.
