A
guy or girl who believes in working class values and respects those who share the same beliefs. Not all skinheads have shaved heads, wear suspenders or wear boots, but these are
good signs. Not all skinheads are
racist, but unfortunately some are. They are "boneheads" to the rest of the skinhead world because of the blemish they have put on a proud group of working class kids. Skinheads are of every race, every religion, because it's not who you are, what race you are or any external factor. It's what is in your heart. Traditional
skins look to their english and jamaican roots for their lifestyle and thier music (
oi, punk,
ska, reggae, rockabilly). SHARP (SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice) skins are the democrats of the skinhead world, accepting all and defending thir way of life. A skinhead friend of mine once told me that he only fights for 3 things: his family, his friends and his honor. This is what is important to skinheads, not "protecting the white race" or to carry out Hilter's unfinished work.
It's something you are. It's not a style. It's not a
fad. It's a way of life. Skinheads will live on as long as there fat
cats in power who
don't give a sh#t about the youth of today. We're proud, we're
pi$$ed and we're here to
stay.
"The Hebrew Hammer aka
zak" got the sh#t kicked out of him by a traditional skin he was
bad-mouthing. With your intolerance, you're no better than the very nazis and supremacists you ridicule. Open up your eyes before a real skinhead opens up your skull, free of charge..."
"That skinheads braces are almost as wide as he is."
"Great
big boots
grimy laces
pants held up by scarlet braces
Get out of my way
or get sent for a ride.
We've just got violence in our minds"
