(4,868 posts)It's a subculture with politics that range from the extreme left to the extreme right (neo-nazis). Most people who call themselves "skinheads" are just racists with shaved heads and tattoos.

(8,127 posts)ive actually met more than a few anti-racist skinheads... I didn't know they existed until I got into ska and punk in the early 90s...
all I know is, the racist ones were easy to find.. they were the ones punching anyone with buttons/stickers proclaiming unity I don't think ive ever gotten as much joy than a night I watched a 6 and half foot giant man clock one right in the face after he attempted to punch the big man (who was just standing, not doing anything at the time)...
but honestly, all and all.. id say predominately the skinheads I encountered at shows were not of the racist variety..

Reach out to people.
Don't build walls.
Have care & concern for your fellow human being.
Everything Frank said was honest & real.
And I'm glad he shared his story.
You just gotta give people a chance.
Maybe 2 or 3 chances.
