Skinhead History - by Ben from KC
Quote:A skinhead did not take shit from anyone, they stood firm on their stance on racial unity and working class pride.
THE 70's
After the strong birth of skinheads which was and still is said to have been at it's peak in 1969, reggae started to diminish though not completely dying. Skinheads stilll existed but saw adversity in the decline of culture. Skins true to there roots stayed strong to there beliefs. In Britain, national pride was always a value of skinheads. As always is the case, there were a few individuals who lost touch with the roots of unity and displaced there national pride with racial prejudice. White supremacist groups such as the National Front started to see these impressionable youths as perfect subjects to prey upon for recruiting. Those who were weak and not aware of there roots looked to these groups as something to identify with and the skinhead cult was to be tainted unforgivably.
