Local skins resent misinformed animosity
written by ReggaerulesOK, June 30, 2008
It is a shame that you would equate skinhead with fascist. In Vancouver there is a sizeable skinhead scene that is multi-ethnic, non-racist, non-political and does not tolerate harrassment of gays. Nazis/Boneheads get bashed when they come around causing trouble and the local skinheads are often the only people with the brass to confront them. Calling this an anti-skinhead rally is just plain silly and quite insulting to people who have spent many years fighting fascism in a literal sense. Would you say that all "Rappers" are drug dealing pimps and hold an anti-rapper rally in support of abused/marginalized women? Does it bother you at all when all non-heterosexuals are lumped together with sexual predators and child molesters? This is basically what you are doing when you hold an "Anti-Skinhead Rally". Do yourself a favour and look up skinhead on wikipedia and learn something about the subject before you go out and hold a protest against it.
