1.0 out of 5 stars
Did she even do /ANY/ Research?, September 17, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Hate Groups (Issues in Focus) (Library Binding)
What she wrote in the book essentially slanders skinheads. Unfortunately, she is simply being a woman of her time - after all, there has been little to no media coverage that has portrayed skinheads as being anything but violent hatemongers and nazi stormtroopers.
Skinheads, in reality, are not by nature racist. The movement was started by Whites as well Jamaican and Carribbean islanders in the late sixties. It didn't start with the White Aryan Brotherhood or the Hammerskins. It started as just a bunch of working-class blokes having a good time.
However, hate and shock sell these days, so making skinheads out do be anything good simply won't make a profit. I think that without a doubt, skinheads have been the most slandered of any subculture to date.
