Coincidentally, the Southern Poverty Law Center just this week released a report on Stormfront and its role as a gathering place for hate crime murderers. [http://www.splcenter.org/sites/default/files/intelligence\_report\_154\_homicide\_world\_wide.pdf](http://www.splcenter.org/sites/default/files/intelligence_report_154_homicide_world_wide.pdf) > [@](#): > > Though on any given day, fewer than 1,800 registered members log on to Stormfront, and less than half of the site’s visitors even reside in the United States, a two-year study by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) shows that registered Stormfront users have been disproportionately responsible for some of the most lethal hate crimes and mass killings since the site was put up in 1995. In the past five years alone, Stormfront members have murdered close to 100 people. ---

Obvious question. Are you sure she’s not visiting Stormfront because you are? Your visits will be in the history section too (unless you’re deleting it). In addition google and similar sites often offer an auto-complete of a frequently visited site. If she started to type in ‘St’ and it came up with [Stormfront.org](http://Stormfront.org), that might have prompted investigation. It may be she’s wondering why you’re visiting Stormfront and hasn’t worked out how to raise the subject? No evidence of course, i just thought i’d raise the possibility. ---

Personally I try to not visit objectionable sites because 1. I dont know who’s monitoring me and 2. I dont want to be influenced by what they say. Now I will say once I did visit Stormfront purely by accident when I was following a thread on mountain biking and it lead me there and I didnt even realize it was Stormfront. It just seemd like everyday discussion of bicycles. ---

OP…if you have had ANY lengthy conversations with your GF while you are with her, you already know how she feels about minorities and Jews among others. Prejudice, if it exists, is difficult to mask when people grow comfortable around one another; when they become intimate, it’s impossible. Simply ask her why she is visiting Stormfront and await her response. It probably won’t come as a surprise to you why she does (frankly, the spelling and logical errors committed by the posters make reading it an exercise in patience anyway) and decide what you are going to do from there. ---

As long as you’re white, or at least Asian, I wouldn’t worry about it. Bonus: you don’t have to worry about her cheating on you with a black guy. Now if she visited 4chan, I’d totally dump her. ---

If a very brown Filipino like me likes to read Stormfront, I see no reason why a white American girl shouldn’t do the same. IMHO, the content isn’t worse than what you’ll find in other opinion fora. I fact, there’s scarcely any criticism about my country, which is a staple in other fora. 😃 ---

I’ve been to Stormfront exactly twice. I knew what it is mainly from it’s mention on other sites. If your gf is like my wife, she saw an unfamiliar address either in an auto-complete or in history, went to it, went wtf and maybe looked around, going WhyTF is he going to this kind of trash? She might be on her BoC (Board of Choice) right now asking if her bf is a white supremist. Or, she might be facinated by the shear level of stupid on it, like how people stop and watch monkeys fling poo at the zoo. Or, she might be a Nazi. Next time you greet her, throw up your left arm and yell Heil Hitler. If she falls to her knees and starts orally servicing you, you have your answer. Let us know her response.
