NEO NAZISM?
If you look at the dictionary definition on the previous pages of Skinhead, the second definition that comes up is “a usually white male belonging to any of various sometimes violent youth gangs whose members have close-shaven hair and often espouse white-supremacist beliefs”. There are factions of skinhead culture that are most definitely neo Nazis, white supremacists and racist. But there are also factions of skinhead culture like the S.H.A.R.P’s, who are the “Skinheads against Racial Prejudice” So this begs the question, did Nazi Skinheads appropriate and highjack traditional Skinhead culture?
This is a quote from a webiste that promotes ‘White Power’ and is easily accessible; these are some of the first words on the website:
The Hammerskin brotherhood is way of achieving goals which we have all set for ourselves. These goals are many but can be summed up with one phrase consisting of 14 words.
"We must secure the existence of our people and a future for White Children."
