Gel,
Are there skins where you live? Do you know there are black skins? That many
if not most are not racist at all? That it is primarily a blue collar labor movement?
Have you ever heard of S.H.A.R.P.S.? What about the Straight Edge movement?
I guess I should say that I am definitely not a skin. I disagree with all the
skin groups I have ever run into, socialists, prohibitionists, or racists. However I
hate to see stereotype on any side. It's like the idea that all of any group are bad.
In many instances peoples own experiences and lives have lead them to believe in
things I think are ludicrous. That doesn't make them evil or bad. Actions determine
that.
I hesitate in commenting on things like this. When you defend a group,
especially one that has a bad reputation, you are often lumped with that group. I
imagine that's why the ACLU is so adored in this country :)

There are some parts of Germany where you don't have this huge amount of
skinheads roaming the streets. And there are other parts where they make
regular forays about the place in large gangs.
You would usually find Skinheads, which are basically a product of
anti-immigration sentiment, and poor job oppurtunities for German
Citizens, in the more depressed areas and what was formerly East
Germany.
For example I've been told in Stuttgardt that its almost unheard of to
see Skinheads roaming the streets.
