So enlighten him, Fras. Don't be angry. Be didactic.
I'd rather just send him my powerpoint that I made in highschool.
or...
here's the wikipedia article on it.
[url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skinhead[/url]
It more or less covers what skinheads were, and what they are today.
From my experiences I've actually come across more tradskins than I have WPskins.
i read the wikipedia entry and i was wrong, not all skinheads are racists, so i apologize for that. however, i got the sense that about half the skinhead population were/are either neo-nazis or white supremicists. so i still think it was a fair assumption on my part.
People are bastard coated bastards with bastard filling
I don't think you're wrong about that. I think it changes regionally. I have the most experience with Portland skinheads, and they're generally a bunch of racist assholes, with some very different counter-racist factions. Sometimes they fight. It must be hard on the racist skinheads to try to figure out who's who if some of the guys they're fighting are also white.
I don't think Fras is a racist.
I have my prejudices I will not deny.
Anybody who denies they have prejudices is a blind fool.
You'll probably find more non-racist skins in urban areas. Don't mistake non-racist with anti-racist. SHARPS can be just as bad as Naziskins in their violent dealings with those whom they dislike. This is not to suggest that non-racist, non-political skins aren't violent, as brawls are just part of the culture (as well as copious amounts of drinking). Hell, at this point you'll even find straight edge skins, but I doubt they're well accepted into the culture.
I had never officially considered myself a skinhead, as I was never one to conform to this or that sub-culture and adopt the label. Funny though, I was probably more a tradskin than most skinheads out there.
It started off as a coincidence, well more like a misunderstanding by my "peers". Fashion wise, the only thing I had adopted from the skinhead culture were the rolled up jeans/pants. I still sport that even now.
I agree. I hate honkies, Niggers, Spics and Chinks and every mother ****ing race in the world. Most of all, I hate half breeds. I spit them all. Does this make me a bad person?
The survery says:
No.

Maybe just in my mind's eye.
Here's me soon before the end of AmeriCorps*NCCC. My team mates bought me that Oi! shirt they found in some random t-shirt store. My hair's all grown out now though. This is the best I could come up with.
