    I will preface this rant with the fact that I support a lot of what your organization does. I’ve been affiliated as being a member of SHARP since the early 90′s and have been getting your magazine and correspondence since then. I can not stand the fact that you do not differentiate between what a real skinhead is and a racist thug copying the skinhead style is. The original skinheads were not fascist bully boys! They hung out with Jamaicans and West Indians and listen to reggae! I’m sure some of them were racist but being a skinhead and being racist were not correlated. Your organization has a habit of taking a headline like the original article posted here of “Gang member pleads guilty to hate crime-battery” and sensationalizing your headline by changing the term “gang member” to “skinhead”. Real skinheads do not consider these idiots skinheads. Please stop the sensationalist drama and report the news as it’s written.

    Could the skinheads be revenge for Inglorious Basterds?
