Skinheads

[RCavallius]

Are there any Skinheads on this forum? I'm just curious.

How do you define a skinhead?

[White Man 1]

I think most of the old guard of Skins have grown out of the culture. Anybody you may encounter here who was at one time a Skinhead would likely bristle at the label now. And if there are youngsters trying to do the Skinhead thing... the 90s is over

It's a little before my time but as a fan on metal music and it's various roots and branchesthey come up a lot. skinheads were more an extension of the 90s punk culture as part of the metal scene than actual white racialists from what I have read.

Well, I'm referring to White Power Skins, of course. And I mean someone who self-identifies as a Skinhead, lives according to Skinhead values, and perhaps belongs to a Skinhead family.

Got it. Like I said, I was just curious.

I'm asking, because other than the "fashion" part of being a skinhead, I don't really know what it is. What are skinhead values? Is a skinhead family like a skinhead gang? This is still unexplained to me.

So, even though a lot of Skins are known for being rowdy, drinking a lot, etc. there has always been a core who are more serious. They try to promote White Power through the Skinhead culture and usually emphasize working class values. Obviously, they aren't all cookie cutter images of each other or an 'ideal' Skinhead type, so there is a fair amount of variation within the Skinhead movement, but they are basically just soldiers of our race who believe in fighting and/or working for what we need.
A Skinhead family is an organization, yes. This could be California parlance, perhaps, but if one asks a Skin which family he is from, they are asking which particular group he is with. So, Hammerskins, WAR Skins, USAS, GSS, etc. are all different families. Out here in California some degenerate Skinheads exist, who basically act like gang members, but there are some good ones, too, who are very dedicated to our Cause. I'm not a Skinhead myself, but I've got some good friends who are, so I know a lot about this stuff.

Dr. Pierce has a good talk called "Skinheads and the Law," which is not on any of the Power of Truth CDs, but which you might be able to find somewhere. Check it out one of these days, if you can. You'll probably like it.

Thanks for that. I am familiar with Dr. P's speech, wanted to know what you thought.
