In sixties UK Jamaican Rudeboys, british Mods and Rudeboys grew up, lived and worked in the same areas and listened to the same music,mostly Ska and Reggae. This spawned the Original Skinhead Culture, which in the Beginning was not racist but apolitical and centered mostly around Football and music. Many Skinheads were Black Jamaican Immigrant Kids and Skinhead Gangs incorporating both, white and black members were not uncommon. Laurel Aitken, musical Idol and known as ''Boss Skinhead'' considered himself a black Skinhead and wrote the eponymous song ''Skinhead'' as a tribute to the scene.
Later with the Ska revival and the rise of Hardcore-Punk many second generation Punk Kids adapted a Skinhead-look. Today there are still black people in the Hardcore Punk and traditionalist Ska and Reggae scene who consider themselves Skinheads.

In conclusion,we can say that Laurel Aitken has been the most important figure of ska music.Also, he was the first black skinhead that was recognised, because in the 60´s being a black skinhead was considered wrong.

I went to school with a Chapter Leader of S.H.A.R.P. Skinhead in Toronto, Canada and also met some members of S.H.A.R.P. while in England and can say they are some of the toughest & gnarliest yet respectful guys I've ever met. Thats saying a lot seeing as I'm from gang territory of Los Angeles.

Get the black skinhead mug.The latest trend among hipsters and indie kids in the UK. Hipster skinheads are young (usually middle class) people who take influence from '70s and '80s British skinhead fashion. They typically wear polo shirts or plaid/checked shirts buttoned up to the top, along with skinny jeans, Dr. Martens or Converse high tops and perhaps a military jacket. An important accesory is a pair of braces (known in the US as suspenders) to hold the jeans up. Hipster skinheads often have the back and sides of their head shaved, leaving the top long, although some have their head completely shaved.
Apart from dress sense, there are few other common features between hipster skinheads. Many listen to hardcore punk: both from the newer wave of bands that have recently received some popularity with the indie press (such as Gallows, Fucked Up and Rolo Tomassi); and also classic old-skool bands (such as Minor Threat, Bad Brains and Agnostic Front). Another common feature is that many hipster skinheads love the film This Is England, which is very influential upon their fashion. Like other hipsters, they tend to be fairly skinny, although unlike other hipsters some sport fairly macho tattoos.
Interestingly, there has been a revival of skinhead fashion among non-hipsters in the UK as well, particularly chavs but also some punks. The general resurgence of skinhead fashion in the UK is reflected by the appearance of the character Cook in the popular British TV series Skins. However, Cook is not really a hipster skinhead.
It is important to note that hipster skinheads are not, as a rule, racist. In fact, like other hipsters, they tend to lean politically to the left, despite the fact that skinheads tend to be associated traditionally with right-wing politics.

Get the hipster skinhead mug.A foolish person who masquerades as a scientist or a intellectual. The common tactic of the intellectual skinhead is to use phony and erroneous "studies," to demonstrate the racial superiority of white people, while demonstrating the racial inferiority of non-white people.
Intellectual skinheads also like to conduct biased studies, which are really surveys, to demonstrate that black women are inherently uglier than other races. Anti-black woman racism at its finest. Most of these studies are biased and do not conform to the basic requirements of a scientific experiment.
These intellectual skinheads pretend to be conducting these inquiries just for the sake of science, but most of them are usually insecure, uattractive and stupid, even with a degree they're stupid.
In addition, they have small penises 99% of the time, this is the REAL reason that these intellectual skinheads take such an antagonistic attitude towards black females...sexual inferiority...

I just read an article about a biased and inaccurate study that says black women are 'objectively' the least attractive race, some intellectual skinhead with a small penis who couldn't get a black woman on his best day probably 'conducted' this experiment.
