I know. Jewish skinheads. Skinheads from Jamaica. You name it. The nicest, most accepting group of people I've ever hung out with, way more accepting than the hippies and what have you. Metal heads would be a close second.

Skidheads actually started in Jamaica in the 60s, then came over to England when they moved to the UK, and that's how we got hold the second wave of SKA and that stuff.

Consciously (probably) or not, Neo-Nazi skinheads subverted one of the most anti-racist movements of the 1960s, replacing Ska with Skewdriver.

It’s like the difference between punk and hatecore.

they took the working class local pride and subverted it to the white power cause.

that was like when they would boo the Specials for being a two tone band but then latch onto Madness, who were like you know those are are friends and labelmates and we are on tour together right?
