A racist website that shut down Sunday night after a complaint to the Canadian Human Rights Commission returned to the internet less than a day later in a more vitriolic form.
The site, called "Dossier Noir," was originally based in Quebec and targeted black Canadians, calling them criminals.
In its new form, the site contains anti-Semitic content.
The man who now runs it, a U.S. neo-Nazi named Bill White, put the name and address of a Canadian human rights lawyer who fights against hate on the website.
The Canadian Jewish Congress has been hoping to see White silenced for years, but he has been protected by U.S. free-speech laws.
The CJC said White is clearly counselling violence and they hope U.S. authorities will finally arrest him.
Earlier this month, the Centre for Research-Action on Race Relations filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission about the website, which published the addresses of a group of men accused in connection with an alleged gang rape.
