Little Girl Vs. Nazi - Watch the best video clips here
To many people around the world the skinhead is known as being an ignorant racist. I decided to post more than one picture on here to show both my strong view and the misconception from a traditional skinhead. The children in the black and white photo are known as Neo- Nazi Skinheads, they are a form of skinhead that raped and stole the look of the traditional skinhead. Back in the 60's skinhead was a subculture and was created after many mods became hippies, most mods who decided not to become hippies decided to cut their hair shorter rather than grow it longer, thus the skinhead was born. Skinheads were known for hanging out with rude boys, a Jamaican style subculture, who were black. For years the both listened to ska, a more danceable predecessor to reggae, soul, and blue beat.

Im really glad you chose this as your post for this weak, I find it interesting how this happened, and somewhat sad that a culture lost its own to something hateful like Neo-Nazi's. Great post James, I enjoyed it a lot. There is a very interesting documentary call American Skinhead I believe that dives deep into the modern skinhead culture, I found it absolutely fascinating. I think you may be able to watch it on the internet for free somewhere, not sure though. Anyways once again great post. Made me think.
ReplyDeleteJames.... What a good post! I always love it when someone lays something down and makes other people scratch their head and think, "wow mabey there is more to the story than what is pressed by the media." Or any other special interest group for that matter. I actually am a little familiar with the skinhead movement. I have a few friends that are immersed skins. And though they are labled as these hateful racist people, the contrary is in fact true. Their values are strong and they are actually hardworking guys who have a belief system that they sware by. Im glad you took the step to look at both sides of a story and invite others to do the same. Nice work Jamesey Poo.... :)
ReplyDeleteJames, I want to say thank you for presenting the real truth behind what the original sub-cultures are in the world of skinheads. Most people assume that skinheads have a racist and bigoted ideology. This may be true to some, but not to the original skinheads. Your article opened my eyes. thanks.
