Created by former Alabama Klan boss and long-time white supremacist Don Black in 1995, Stormfront was the first major hate site on the Internet. Claiming more than 300,000 registered members as of May 2015, the site has been a very popular online forum for white nationalists and other racial extremists.

In early 2016, Stormfront made a push to have more of a physical prescence in the world. They ecouraged users to band together to form what they called "White Strongholds." This appealed to the more militant members, many of whom were doomsday preppers or part of local militia groups. As such, there are now dozens of these strongholds across the U.S. Though they have not been labeled as a terrorist organization by the government, there have been numerous crimes since early 2016 that can be attributed to them.

Their main tools are those of terror, including firebombing churches in minority neighborhoods. They also campaign to elect white nationalists to offices of power in states susceptible to such rhetoric. They have been credited with securing governerships in Alabama and Georgia, as well as numerous house and senate seats over the years.

With the near complete dissolution of the KKK in 2017, many of its former members have flocked to Stormfront. A large number of alt-right and white nationalist groups also merged with Stormfront, and the organization is now, by far, the largest hate group in America.

"White Pride Worldwide" — Stormfront.org motto "Beating down a mud [a non-white person] when they try to poisen [sic] one of our own or when they try to seduce one of our girls may not be God inspired, but rather a righteous act of collective preservation." — Preston Wiginton, Stormfront.org post, 2007

"The critically important concepts of pulling your own weight and not leeching off other parts of society are alien concepts to Blacks. They realize that on their own, they will never have very much so they happily take all the welfare and other hand outs they can get even if this makes them parasites. They don't have any qualms about stealing millions of jobs and promotions thanks to racial quotas — this is the last government-approved racial discrimination program, which has gone on for four decades." — "Whiterights," 2008 post to Stormfront
