So CM Punk is a skinhead?

[Henzo]

So letting a black man carry his bags on the road doesn't make him racist.

Being a skinhead doesn't have anything to do with race, originally their style was influenced by Jamaicans...actually I'm not even gonna bother.

there are 3 types of skin heads...
1.white nationalists (racist/separatist)
2.S.H.A.R.P.'s (skinheads against racial prejudice )
3.Trads (A-political skins who are more into just the music and fashion)

i dont think phil is a racist and i might be wrong but i think the singer for agnostic front is mixed.

skinheads came out of the punk movement and were very anti racist. It only became racist later on when racist punk fans were more recognized then the anti racist ones.

Shhh! Don't tell them that though. They need some sort of recompense knowing that their hero, Dwayne isn't getting over.


Cosign whoever said he looks like an a$$hole in real life and probably wouldn't wanna hang out with him. I get that vibe too.

Key word their, originally, the skinhead movement went in a completely different direction.

I always find it funny, how skinheads how next to no knowledge about the real history of skinheads.

Some went in one direction, some went in other directions, they were largely apolitical at first anyway and like all subcultures it attracted a disparate collection of people with they're own views. It just so happens that the racist element were of the most interest so they're the ones whose portrayal is more widespread.

^^The band that does his theme music (dating back to his indie days). I'm all for calling out racist cacs (I'll make a thread about that later ) but skinheads were originally bleeding heart liberal punk rock fans but the look was eventually co-opted into a racist movement. He's not racist.
