Sheffield skinheads in the 80s

[melthebell 863]

Oh dear, please excuse me for finding neo-Nazi thuggish subcultures distasteful, how terribly old fashioned of me.

 

i think you should stop now before you dig yourself deeper into that generalising hole you seem to have dug.

 

have you heard about SHARP skinheads?, "SkinHeads Against Racial Prejidice"?

youve heard the oppressed? one of the most antifascist of skinhead bands? or the angelic upstarts? didnt think so.

of course you knew that the original skins were into reggae and ska tho, right?

 

yeah some are nazis, but then some members of the community at large are into the bnp etc

Must admit I am an 'enforced' skinhead myself these days

Well now, would you believe it?

maybe he should be "enforced" to listen to the oppressed too

 

 

 

or some classic trojan sounds

Hi Willo,

Interesting point about being responsible for one's actions particularly when in the military - obey orders or follow one's consience?,

Whatever, I agree with you completely that the perpetrators of the Japanese atrocities did so mainly through their own sadistic tendencies rather than follow orders.

Why did I have long hair? Possibly the same reason that Skin Heads had no hair, the difference being that us 'Hippies' preached Love and Peace and wore sandals not steel-capped boots.

I wasn't badly beaten up I can look after myself - but thanks for the sentiment.

And I accept that a lot of the S/H were non violent and it was wrong of me to lump them all together.
