And stop calling all skinheads nazis. the poseurs who use the skinhead culture as being nazis have no idea what it is about and most people think of them as all just nazis. I have been into punk rock for a long time and I dont assume a skinhead is a "nazi skinhead" unless it is obvious.
Yeah. People should do a quick google search and learn a little bit about the beginnings of the skinhead culture. I was just into punk, but my brother got into the skinhead movement in the late 80's/early 90s. He was aligned with a group of anti-racist skins/sharp skins/mods. They all drove scooters (Vespas/Lambrettas). They fought constantly with the local nazi skins/punks. Sometimes things got pretty hairy. People were getting shot. Threats were everywhere. My brother ended up getting arrested at a demonstration-turned-riot between the two groups and my parents found out by witnessing it on the evening news.
In the end my bother got tired of the BS and left it behind. It wasn't all the threats and fights with the racist groups, it was the ignorance of the general public that he couldn't tolerate. One night out with 2 of his skinhead friends they found themselves surrounded by a group of thick-skulled jock types who didn't know them. The jocks were yelling at them about being racist scum and Nazis. My brother, in amazement of the stupidity of these assholes, was trying to point out the obvious fact that his 2 skinhead friends were hispanic and asian!! But these guys just saw shaved heads, flight coats, and Doc Martin boots and made an assumption. Before my bro could explain it he got a set of brass knuckles in the back of his head (yeah, the pussy sucker-punched him) and then all 3 of them proceeded to get a thorough beating.
So yeah, unfortunately the idiot Nazis have ruined the skinhead culture, even for those who are proud of its true roots and oppose everything the Nazis stand for.

Ok, in response to the punk skinhead subculture (in specific the non-nazi ones), I thought they died out in the 80s, early 90s at latest. Even they realized that their image was going to be read by some to be racist (it was their way of saying "fuck imagery," or at least that's how I understand it).

They are rather large in numbers around Philly Sharps and Neo Nazi's alike could just be around the areas I roam but I do know a good deal.

I don't think some of the nazi ideas at their core are really wrong. Now the means they used to get the ends were wrong yes. But I have no problem advancing the human race further through genetic selection. If we found people that had recessive genes for certain birth defects, cancer prone, retardation, etc. it wouldn't be a bad idea to have them sterilized so they cannot continue to pass these undesirable genes on. They would still have the option to adopt children that already exist.
Political correctness stops this from being a possibility as well as the fact that most people probably think it is 'wrong' to do. Hitler really just wanted a superior human race, now his views on what that were are definitely wrong, as well as the methods he used to try and achieve his idea.

^ yup.
Unfortunately there's so much connotation between racism and that symbol that I can't imagine anybody wearing it and not be sending a slightly racist message.

I met the owner of skin industries. He's a real prick and very unprofessional. Skin Industries use to be hot, but its a fad that is dying. And with his attitude about business, I don't think he'll be making it anyways. I wouldn't be surprised about your statement about the company at this point.
