zesto- "oh yeah... I totally agree that not all skinheads are facists"

 

You should have said not all skinheads are racist, which is true. For the most part, all skins ARE fascists, which is different from being racist.

 

And if I may, Id like to point out an error in the article Mang posted.

 

"2. There are SHARPS or ARA Skinheads. Sometimes they’re communists, sometimes they’re not"

 

 

Thats not true, ARA is mostly anarchists.

kids in gangs spraypaint on walls to mark territory, right?

kids like you do it for art.

 

both called grafitti even though you have different intent. do you allow people to call you a gang member because of what you do? of course not.

 

i hope that was a decent scenario.

 

very good point.... bravo!

now as usual, i'm too fucking lazy to read most of the posts. i read some though.

and vinyl's thought on "enough of them are... blah blah blah" is sheer fucking idiocy. a shaved head does not make a skinhead. TRUE skinheads are not racist. skinhead is about working class pride, this will often bring in issues about mass immigration (jobs over run by immigrants, taking away the jobs held by the working class for so long...) but thats not racism, that is caring about your job. i'm pretty sure that anyone can identify with that sentiment. calling a skin a nazi is bullshit. if you wanna say "a large chunk of nazis are racist" go right a fucking head. but if you're gonna say skinheads are racist, you're gonna be talking about the wrong group. that's bullshit. a group that stands for pride in your work being compared with a group that takes pride in what you're born into. FUCK YOU.

OI' OI'. DEAD ON. THE TRADITIONAL SKINHEAD CULTURE ORIGINATED AS A WORKING CLASS MOVEMENT. AS "SERPENT..." SAID IT, WITH AN INFLUX OF IMMIGRANTS COMING IN FROM THE VARIOUS BRITISH COMMONWEALTHS, THESE GUYS HAD REASON TO WORRY. IT WAS A REAL CONCERN, NOT RACIST SHIT FOR THESE SAME GUYS WOULD FUNNEL INTO DANCE HALLS TO LISTEN TO JAMAICAN SKA/REGGAE MUSIC. SURE THERES RACIST SKINHEADS, BUT GO TO THE TERRACES DURING A SOCCER GAME IN ENGLAND AND YOU CAN SEE MANY OF THEM GETTING BEAT UP BY TRUE SKINS. AS FOR THE ARA/SHARP/RASH SKINHEADS, I CAN SEE THEIR SENTIMENT BUT THEIR EXISTANCE IS JUST AS MUCH BULLSHIT AS THE NAZI SKINHEADS. REAL SKINHEADS COULDNT GIVE A FUCK. REAL SKINS SEE THE TREMENDOUS BULLSHIT AT BOTH SIDES OF THE SPECTRUM. MOST OF THE SKINS I KNOW LIVE TO WORK, FUCK, AND DRINK BEER. THEY COULD GIVE A RATS ASS ABOUT WHOSE WHAT COLOR AND WHOSE A BIGGOT, THEIR POLITICS STEM FROM THE TRUTH NOT HATE.

fuck me? ok, maybe you didn't understand what i was getting at... i was saying that in my personal experience enough of the skins i meet are racist, and make me put up my guard when meeting any skin... did you read where i said i have many skin friends? when you wear the uniform you immediately associate yourself with a group that has the image in society as being entirely racist-- that's not what i think tho... i work security at a club... 50% of the skins that come to my club are blatant racists, and 90% are very violent... some of them are not... some of them work right along side me... I NEVER HAVE AND NEVER WILL SAY THAT I IMMEDIATELY ASSUME ANY SKIN IS A NAZI...

i have been involved with the SHARPs in my past... i share the same working class views as most of them, and, i'm assuming from your post, as you... i chose to stop wearing the uniform do to the connotation associated with it... i get enough shit being tattooed and pierced, i don't need people thinking i'm racist too (i get it regardless in most of the areas i spend time in, just because caucasions are the minority, i don't need to have people thinking there's a swastica tattooed on my chest...)

anyways, i think what i'm getting at is, FUCK YOU TOO... i have no quips with people's beliefs about race, sex, religion, whatever... i may not agree, but i believe everyone is entitled to their opinion... but when it comes down to violence i have a huge problem with that... people have no right to cause other people harm because they don't agree, or, as is often the case, again, in my own personal experience, just for kicks... i don't want to have people disliking me simply because we don't share a belief system... but in the mean time, if youcome at me swinging because i looked atyou funny, or because i told you to hide your beer, then i will have no fucking problem sending your teeth across the street...

As for the ARA I demonstrate with them, they are not communists, although some say they are because they get the impression from groups like the Anti Fascist Action... And fascist was a term brought out by communists. Then adopted to discribe oppressive regimes and governments by anarchists, socialists.

its against posers

im kinda lost

 

if you go to shows now adays at big venues

no one can dance

no one respects anyone

and no one parties afterwards

were as in small venues

its the same people go to the same shows

and they all support the local scene rather than the scene in gnereal

and everyone knows everyone

 

its kinda like graffiti

 

1/4 of these guys paint

1/4 do but suck

the other half act like they are the best writers ever and put the people who suck down when all they need is a helping hand. and most of these guys dont paint

 

like the stupid kids at big shows

most of them dont go to local shows at ALL

firstly, please keep the petty high school online fights to yourselves. you'll ruin the thread.

is this directed at me? cuz i really don't feel this is "petty highschool fight", i think we're actually having a rather important discussion, even if we are getting a little heated...

i agree, this is not "petty highschool shit" (i graduate tomorrow!) it is somewhat important, and it means a hell of a lot to me.

as far as people having their own beliefs, sure, let them. but i'm a firm believer in making my voice twice as loud as anyone elses. if i hear a nazi preaching, i'll be screaming SHARP news at the top of my lungs. i dont like violence as a means of forcing one to believe something, i'm far too anti-christian to accept that shit, but i'm not against a fight. most people nowadays are far from willing to sit down and talk about whats wrong between them and solve it that way, being "neanderthalic" about it and brawling seems to work best for a momentary solution. unfortunately thats a cycle that probably won't end for quite sometime.

 

and uh, my bad on not reading your other posts. sorry bro.

well what if you have both ears pierced? (like mine)

 

(What --zeSto-- is trying to say: "I like to take it in the butt whille doing another dude in the butt.", or something to that effect.):mad: :confused:

well sorry to tell you... but the skinhead has changed!

 

it IS associated with Racism, and that connection will not be broken.

Just like the Swastika was turned from a universal symbol of faith,

into a generic symbol of hatered.

 

Some things cant be turn back to the way they once were.

 

 

you're right man. And all those american and european Muslims should just convert, throw their beliefs away, because in Western eyes Islam will be forever connected to what happened in September.

 

 

 

if you are a Skin because of what you believe - it can't ever be a simple matter of just "giving it up" because of public perception.

 

If you are a Skin because its who *you* are - how can you change it?
