Skinheads make religion look good. Ex user, Zen Kaseen, enjoyed preaching here about killing because they look different.

I'm a non-believer. But I would much, much rather see the U.S. remain a nation that touts a moderate Christian majority than one with radicalized Alt Right Atheists who bow at the altar of Social Darwinism being up front and center.

At least racist skinheads aren't representative of the majority. No, really. They emerged as an outgrowth of the mods in the 1960s with a liberal helping of the rude boys of Jamaica. And some can be downright avuncular:
Yes, I did quite a bit of research into skinheads earlier in the year in preparation for a review of This is England. I can't find any hard numbers on the far-right/far-left/apolitical divide in the skinhead subculture, but it's clear it's there, and they fucking hate each other. Well, the apolitical and far-left-wing skinheads hate the Nazis, not really each other.

Skin heads are a dying breed of racist as are the traditional nazi's . These days racists are subtle as they are trying to make bigotry normalized and sympathetic. These days it's meme culture , comedy , dog whistles , highjacking concerns of things like immigration , White identity victimhood , And trying to find minority human shields to speak their propaganda .

But the modern racists best trick by far is semantics . " I'm not racist because muslims are not a race " Indeed it just so happens you criticize far greater a religion that happens to be majority non white .And your propaganda just happens to always be menacing depictions of brown people...
Or " I'm not racist because mexicans are not a race " No all your doing is inferring negative things about a country that just so happens to be majority latino. And your propaganda just happens to depict menacing looking brown people....
Another fun one is the minority talking head . " See our movement can't be racist there are minorities in it" or "You don't respect the minorities that agree with us . Yes i can't say i'm not fond of people who work against there own interest and the interests of minorities even if they are part of said group .
