News: Bolivia Politics

QUOTE OK to be fair most of you only know about Skinheads through mainstream media coverage. That is not true in my case. I know the skinhead movement through some of the other people I know. That could be lopsided and probably is. A lot of the same styles are in Punk Rock an other cultures. I also understand that media over sensationalizes/demonizes things to sell a story. Racism is a big seller. Thus the necessity to own some media. I also understand that the movement was started by people that could only afford combat boots ( a good investment by the way) and shaved their heads because of lice. It is always the poor that pay for the ills of the world huh? QUOTE Well that coverage is usually the negative stereotypes of the racist Skinhead. Well those aren't Skinheads they're posers. Could be, but sometimes there are groups within groups. Perhaps they would call you posers. QUOTE People took the look because it was hard and put behind it a political and racist ideology and it gets aggravating to hear the ignorant views of someone who doesn't know what they are talking about. You got to have a hard look to survive sometimes. My only view of things comes from some of my foolish acquaintances. There is a serious skin head connection, but they aren't considered as good? There is always problems with gangs within gangs. A never ending internal struggle with power. All they are looking for is is someone to unite these clans. No offence but the skinhead movement is weak. You can't have a central foundation of being poor, drugs, political correctness, fashion, music, or any other ridiculous thing (hate either). You have to have a moral and ethical base, or something that is close. You have to have a code, an order, a history, ceremony, and a Hero. I will say that the skinheads don't have these things and are easy prey for those that do. This group is a scattered bunch of Pop culture kids. Any body with half a brain could go in and take over the entire group. How hard do you think it would be for the neo-nazis to take over the group? They already are doing a good job, but not a great job. Tell me what I don't know Please? Your best bets are to find a decent religious organization. The ethics and morals they will give you will protect you. Please consider it. I know that your post is heart felt and that is why I have taken interest, but I question wether the skinheads are even an organization at all. They seam to be a good sub organization for various organizations. Just something to think about. [See Similar Topics]
