A skinhead is a person who holds punk and working class values to heart, and chooses to fight for that right. It began with an offshoot from the rude boy movement, but morphed into a few denominations: Trojan Skins, White Power/Blood and Honour Skins, Anarchist Commie Skins and a few others. Skins have a worldwide reputation for being racist (not always true) and violent(an important, defining aspect), but they're generally ok people if you don't cross them. unless your coloured and you meet a Nazi skin, then your fucked.
Skinhead drees included:
JACKETS: Bomber/flight, donkey jackets
TOPS: Ben Sherman shirts/polo shirts, tight and/or sleeveless t-shirts, possibly with Nazi/B+H or Trojan prints
JEANS: Levi/Wrangler straitlegs, rolled up to show off boots
BOOTS: Docs mostly, laces determine denomination (see www.wikipedia.com), but sometimes work boots or monkey boots. usually steel-capped to aid violence and protect feet. illustrate the working-class ethics of skins.
BRACES: 3/4 inch length, any more is seen to be faking being a skin. again, colours denote denominations.
HAIR: short obviously, between a number 1 and a number 4, but usually a 2 or 3. sometimes kickboxers moheichans are seen (short sides, slightly longer middle), but not often.
skins wear what they wear because its all ideal for fighting and living in shit. ive got a lot of skin friends and they all live in shit flats or squats. skins are categorically working class.
you shouldn't cross the local skins. they will eat you up and spit you out. and the cops will never find your body. if your a proper punk you'll be fine, but watch out if your a little chav/rudie cos they will hurt you.
all in all, dont hate skins cos they're violent and eletist. even the racist ones have good reasons for what they do.

"skinhead, skinhead, beat you for delight!"

A skinhead originally meant a person (chiefly in the United Kingdom) who was of a working-class or urban background who listened to rock, reggae, and other forms of such music. Skinheads were not of one ethnicity, but many. In fact, there were many Black British skinheads. Most skinheads were not racist. This also spread to other parts of the globe.
Then, around the 1970s and 80s, white supremacists and Nazis began to shave their heads. This began in the UK, where movements such as the British Movement and National Party began gaining popularity. This eventually spread to other countries. This completely changed "skinhead". Now, skinhead is often associated with white power movements.
Today, some of the "original" skinheads often try to distinguish themselves from racists. In fact, some have created groups to fight against racism. One notable group is Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP). Both types of skinheads may often fight with each other due to opposing rallies by "original" skinheads.

Get the slimy shithead 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.
