'''Stephen Donald Black''', best known as simply '''Don Black''' {{lived|1953}}, is a prominent white supremacist with a hilariously ironic last name, founder, führer of [[Stormfront]], and former high-ranking [[Ku Klux Klan]] member.<ref>[http://www.browardpalmbeach.com/news/the-racist-next-door-6332282 A "grand wizard", apparently]. Are we sure this is not just a D&D club?</ref>

==Activism==
Black first got started in the white power movement in high school, when he began to pass out [[racist]] newspapers and fliers which resulted in the high school banning ''all'' political publications.<ref>https://www.stormfront.org/dblack/press101997.htm</ref> This is why we can't have nice things.

Black travelled to [[Georgia]] to help the gubernatorial campaign of segregationist J.B. Stoner.<ref group=note>Stoner once described Hitler as "too moderate". So... yeah.</ref> Jerry Ray, brother of [[Martin Luther King]]'s assassin, James Earl Ray, shot 16-year old Black with a .38 revolver after he caught Black stealing files from Stoner's office.<ref>"Stoner called me up and I went back down to Savannah. Then, when I got in that shooting thing, when Don Black, the Nazi guy, belonged to the Nazi Party … tried to burglarize the place and I shot him." [http://web.archive.org/web/20040616071447/http://catyoga.com/POSTSCRIPT.htm From an interview with Jerry Ray.]</ref>

Black then moved to Birmingham, Alabama and joined the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and slowly worked his way up the ranks until he was elected Grand Wizard of 
the local D&D club
 the KKK in 1978, following the resignation of [[David Duke]].

Four years later, in 1981, Black and nine other men, all with neo-Nazi ties or sympathies, tried to overthrow the 300-square-mile Caribbean island of Dominica in what was known as [[Operation Red Dog]]. The group was arrested as they were loading firearms and explosives into the boat they planned to sail to Dominica with.<ref>The Feds confiscated eight Bushmaster machine guns, ten shotguns, five rifles, ten handguns, ten pounds of dynamite, 5426 rounds of ammunition, and a large red-and-black Nazi flag. [http://www.stormfront.org/dblack/racist_021998.htm]</ref> The plot, which Black alleges was to establish an anti-Communist government on the predominately black island, included installing ex-Dominican Prime Minister Patrick John. While in prison, he began to learn computer programming, which would eventually lead to the creation of Stormfront. Black was released from prison in 1984 and resigned from the KKK three years later.

He donated $500 to [[Ron Paul]]'s election fund.<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20081120235134/http://disclosure.nictusa.com/cgi-bin/dcdev/forms/C00432914/307525/sa/17A/10</ref> Who did Donny endorse in 2016? Why, [[Donald Trump|Donald J. Trump]], of course!<ref name="DJT" />

==UK reaction==
Black, along with David Duke and [[Fred Phelps]], was one of twenty-two people banned from entering the [[United Kingdom]] "for fostering extremism or hatred."<ref>(5 May 2009). [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8033060.stm "UK 'least wanted' list published"]. ''BBC News''.</ref> As a webmaster, Black ought to be familiar with a banhammer by now.
