"It doesnt take a big man to knock somebody down, but it takes a strong man to pick them off the ground!"
Most people associate skinheads with violence and racism. Simply not always true. I love this quote, anybody know the band? Without googling the lyrics LOL

I don't know the song/band without looking, I know a few skin heads and theys always been helpful/polite to me. But I am white with short hair and I don't smile much.... They don't go on any rants about the people they hate or whats wrong with the world they were just normal people (Too me anyways)
Edit: I guess I should mention that I only knew they were skin heads by their tattoos, one of them had skin head across his knuckles

I know Dropkick Murpheys has a song with those lyrics in it, but I can't think of any Oi! groups that did a song like that.
But I've not listened to Oi! in a long time.

I grew up around the Aryan nations headquarters, and every single one I ever met was an asshole and universally reviled throughout the community

Actually I was a little misleading now I realize. Those are dropkick murphys lyrics and they arent traditional skinheads, youre right. Im not sure any of them have shaved heads but they tout themselves as skinheads and have a lot of skinhead lyrics. I presume they were skins back in the day and though they grew hair they didnt outgrow the attitude.
On a side note; I have met one nazi skinhead, while shopping at a grocery store lol. He told me he didnt like me and didnt like my shirt and that I should look into aryan literature and watch my back while I was out on the street cuz he "wasnt the only one in town" (nazi skin). He was covered in tats and had multiple visible swastikas. To give this story a little more context (why did a random nazi skin approach me and dislike my shirt?), I was wearing the below pictured shirt, which explains his reaction.
 I realize the shirt is a little redundant, "fight fire with fire" kinda thing. And after that encounter I stopped wearing it outside of the skatepark and punk shows. Im also pro peace and have never been in a fight so the shirt really doesnt flow with my personality, but I like obscene things that get poeples panties in a russle

I've met tons of skins from frequenting punk shows for near a decade, and 9/10 of them are awesome people  I've probably only met a handful of skins i didn't like. It's sad that people blindly hate on punks and skins because of a few bad apples.

In the punk scene its one thing, its application in organized groups not focused on music is another - from my perspective - I'd say that its roots are more in the Nazi Youth organizations and the likes rather than the punk scene - but I suppose they are semi-distinct groups.

The Skinhead movement didn't start as a racist thing, the racist faction just became more popular than the music oriented ones.

Ya but I don't think that has a lot to do with it is my point. Punk shows aren't exclusively white guys. The punk and skin scene isn't exclusively white guys.
The only fights I've ever seen at a show were between two white guys now that I think about it.
But my point it is it doesn't matter, and if it does they're just racist skinheads. You can be American and not be racist, you can be a conservatie and not be racist, you can be a skinhead and not be racist.
I'm not a skinhead. I have long dreadlocks  I hang out with punks and hippies.

Honestly last time I was frequenting anything related to the punk scene, which was more in the vein of hardcore than punk where I lived... the problem was if ever - with the militant straight edge kids - and mexican gangsters who'd frequent shows for the express purpose of beating people up

I sort of knew a skinhead a few years back.
He got swastika tattoo on his chest and would be a buzzkill at parties talking about jews and shit.
But yea op, good line.
militant straight-edge kids...

I used to like the 4 skins back in the 80s when you couldnt wear doc martens or skinhead gang would roll you for them. They were traditional no guns gangs that pretty much disappeared when real crack dealing ethnic gangs became menace. There used to be all sorts of punk vs skinheads clashes. There were even revival mod and rude boy battles with skins. But it was more like the warriors rather than m enance to society. My rocker/skater/punk/hippie friends and i got in a few good ones with them too. I can't imagine you would last long as Nazi in Scarborough these days. I wouldn't curb anyone but i would probably confront someone wearing swastikas. I have seen it once since i moved to calgary 5 years ago. I guess if they were prison gang looking i probably wouldnt i know alot people who would though. Those ARA vigilantes have history of attacking non racist skins stay away from those idiots op. My friend has reformed ex nazi step brother i told him he should change SS tat to KISS logo.....

Man those were the days. In my area most of the skins were down. SHARP skins but the Nazi white power ones were total retards.
