The “Nazi” and “white nationalist” “hate group” Stormfront is claiming that it will have a twice a week radio show through West Palm Beach radio station WPBR 1340 AM. The Stormfront “hate group” is headquartered in West Palm Beach, Florida. According to Stormfront, WPBR 1340 AM has agreed to host a Tuesday and Thursday morning radio show for Stormfront “Don” Black’s son, Derek Black, who also runs Stormfront’s Internet radio program. We urge human rights supporters to contact WPBR radio to find out why they seek to promote “white nationalist” “hate group’s” views over the radio. We will update this posting with any feedback that we or you tell us that you hear from WPBR 1340 AM radio, to allow them to publicly clarify their position.
WPBR also lists its address and contacts as:
WPBR 1340 – Galaxie Inter
1776 Lake Worth Rd; Suite 201
Lake Worth, FL 33460
Telephone: 561-641-8882
Fax: 561-533-0607
Inspired by the ideology of “white nationalist hate” promoted on Stormfront promoted by its leaders, Stormfront members have been linked to terrorism such as (1) the terrorist plot by Stormfront member Daniel Cowart to kill 88 black Americans and Barack Obama, (2) Pittsburgh cop-killer and Stormfront member Richard Poplawski who sought to “ramp up the activism” on behalf of “white nationalism” and was talking with fellow “white nationalists” on Stormfront for four hours before killing Pittsburgh police officers, and (3) Stormfront members in January 2010 praising white supremacist Nazi terrorist James Von Brunn as a “martyr” for his June 2009 terrorist attack and murder of a black security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns, and Stormfront members urging others to emulate Von Brunn’s actions and promote “hate with violent passion.”
The incident with the Stormfront member Richard Poplawski and his April 2009 murders of police officers was referenced in a report by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on terrorist threats. Other law enforcement agencies monitor Stormfront activities as part of their terrorism tracking.
In August 2008, conservative group “Right Side News” reported on a threat on Barack Obama’s life by a Stormfront member, reporting that: “Stormfront brings together and provides a forum for members of worldwide hate movements. The content on Stormfront, many times, is of a violent nature. Just yesterday, one of Stormfronts members stated that he hopes United States Senator and Presidential candidate Barack Obama gets assassinated. Another member commented, All it would take is one person.”
Stormfront "Hate Group" Claims to be Getting Radio Program on WPBR
The UK Mirror has described Stormfront’s leader as “former KKK chief and American Nazi Party thug Stephen ‘Don’ Black.”
The Stormfront organization has recently posted messages from its members eulogizing the death of white supremacist Nazi terrorist James Von Brunn who attacked the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC in June 2009; Von Brunn murdered black security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns. Stormfront members have called for others to “hate with violent passion,” have described terrorist Von Brunn as a “martyr,” and have praised the way Von Brunn “gave his life” in his terrorist attack on the Washington DC museum.
Stormfront is on the list of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s (SPLC) hate organizations.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) describes Don Black and Stormfront as follows:
“Stephen Donald ‘Don’ Black is one of the most influential white supremacists in the United States, due to his role as the founder and operator of Stormfront, the most popular on-line meeting place for white supremacists around the world, and for his appearances and speeches at racist and anti-Semitic gatherings. A former Grand Dragon in the Ku Klux Klan, Black now devotes most of his time to running Stormfront out of his home in West Palm Beach, Florida.”
“Black espouses a racist and anti-Semitic ideology. His idea of ‘White Pride World Wide,’ a slogan that appears on the Stormfront Web site, involves demeaning and demonizing Jews and non-whites, while his concept of “victory” for whites includes the creation of ethnically cleansed living spaces. Black claims that blacks and non-white immigrants are increasing in numbers and committing crimes, thereby depriving whites of their majority and power in society. In addition to demonizing blacks and immigrants, Black targets Jews as the cause of societal ills.”
The Anti-Defamation League reports on “white supremacist” Derek Black:
“Derek Black developed his racist views from his parents, especially his father. In addition to running Stormfront, the largest and most popular white supremacist Web site in the world, Don Black is a former Klan leader. He served a three-year federal prison term for attempting to overthrow the government of the small Caribbean island of Dominica, for which he was convicted in 1981. Derek’s mother, Chloe Black, was once married to David Duke.”
“In 2003, at age 14, on the Introduction page to ‘Stormfront for Kids,’ Derek wrote ‘White people are taught in school to be ashamed of their heritage… All the great white accomplishments throughout history are diminished. Therefore, I think that now is the time that all of the white people across the globe should rise above the lies and be proud of who we are.’ “
“By his teen years, Derek had taken an active role in those conferences. In February 2008 and February 2006, he attended the white supremacist American Renaissance conferences. In 2007 and June 2006, Derek attended the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens national conferences where he entertained guests with his music. In 2005, he was listed as one of the attendees at another white supremacist conference hosted by David Duke and EURO in New Orleans. Hundreds of white supremacists, including neo-Nazis and Holocaust deniers attended that conference.”
“In August 2007, he attended and reported on the Knights Party Congress, held by long-time Klan leader Thom Robb, and broadcast the event live on Stormfront radio. He now co-hosts a white supremacist show with David Duke on Stormfront radio.”
“In November 2008, just days after Barack Obama was elected President, Derek Black was a keynote speaker at a conference sponsored by former Klan leader and anti-Semite David Duke and his organization EURO (European American Unity and Rights Organization) in Memphis, Tennessee. A number of white supremacists, including Don Black, racist radio show host James Edwards and Canadian racist Paul Fromm also attended the conference.”
“In his own speech at the conference, Derek made it clear that he was following in the footsteps of the racist leaders who came before him. He repeatedly referred to white supremacists David Duke, Don Black and others who had spoken at the same EURO conference as ‘titans.’ He also claimed that ‘I have never lived in a country that I consider a white country… I’ve never enjoyed the good golden bag of advantage that white people have.’ “

The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) also has reported on this with their report: “Haitian-Oriented Radio Station Has Surprising New Host”
— “WPBR’s programs are in French from 1 p.m. to 6 a.m. — 17 straight hours — mostly for the benefit of Haitian listeners, station manager Marcus Pierrelouis told Hatewatch. Seven hours of programming, between 6 a.m. and 1 p.m., are in English. Black has the 10-11 a.m. slot for his two days.”
— “For his debut program on Tuesday, Black was scheduled to have Gordon Baum as his guest. Baum, an attorney, is co-founder and CEO of the racist Council of Conservative Citizens, which has routinely denigrated blacks as “genetically inferior” and once accused non-white immigrants of turning America into a “slimy brown mass of glop.” After an earthquake pulverized portions of Haiti last month, the CCC’s website illustrated a report on the event with an engraving of a white man being hanged by blacks, presumably in Haiti. Derek Black has attended some of the CCC’s national conferences.”
— “The WPBR manager said he knew nothing of Derek Black’s background, and added that another station employee worked out a contract with Black. Meanwhile, at Stormfront, members have posted comments about Black’s radio gig, calling the news ‘fantastic,’ ‘excellent’ and ‘great.'”
