''What used to be done in the stalls of bathrooms is now on line,'' Rabbi Cooper said in an interview.
He said such sites were growing at an alarming rate. The report is a guided tour of what Rabbi Abraham Cooper, associate dean of the center, characterized as a subculture of hate on the Internet. But this site features a different take on Jasper, reporting that ''negroes and race traitors'' had removed an old fence that in the writer's view had justly separated for more than 160 years the graves of blacks and whites in a local cemetery.Įach of these Web sites can also be found on Digital Hate 2000, an interactive report on CD-ROM that is to be released tomorrow by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, a research and educational organization based in Los Angeles that is best known for its focus on the Holocaust. On a site designed to look like a mainstream Internet news service, there are stories about Jasper, Tex., where a black man was dragged to his death behind a pickup truck. King is labeled as ''just a sexual degenerate, an America-hating Communist.'' It also has 50 links to like-minded sites, from those selling Nazi memorabilia to tracts about breaking ''the chains of Jewish materialism.''Īnother site, Martin Luther King Jr.: A Historical Examination, appears to be a tribute, complete with pictures of Dr. Along the left side of the page are buttons directing viewers to some of Nole's favorite things, including ''the beer of champions.''īut visitors who scroll down, to the sound of rock power chords, soon discover that the Web site is actually devoted to ''white power.'' Nole's Page turns out to be a neo-Nazi rant peppered with glowing references to skinhead ideology. The page, which claims to be all about Santa Barbara, Calif., displays the name of the city, framed by American flags, above torches that burn with animated fire.
AT first glance, Nole's Page looks like any one of the thousands of personal home pages digitally dashed upon the Internet by adolescents with a modicum of computer skills and a hankering to be noticed.
