Shown To Be Idiots Yet Again!

Looks like those masses of the Great Unwashed over at One People's [Housing] Project dropped the ball again in their ever desperate attempt to "prove" the early skinheads of the late-'60s/early-'70s were all multi-racial, 2-tone fags who all had this "great interracial brotherhood of white and black skinheads". Fact is, Skinhead was ALWAYS a White subculture that was nationalistic & anti-immigrant, even before factions of it crystallized into full-on White Power movements! I give you an excerpt from one of the monkeys that was in "The Specials", a defunct anti-racist ska band from later that era:

At a concert at which he was pictured wearing a hat (from a single of theirs photo), he told 'The Record Collector', August 2004 issue, that his hat "got pinched off me afterwards by what I remember as being a huge skinhead. Given the way that 2-tone is usually recalled as standing for racial harmony, it's striking to look back at just how much menace and intimidation there was at these shows." Hahahaha...Take that all you RASH, SHARP, & Antifa queers!


Clayton Cubit's African Skinhead Photo Exhibit
Looks like we have to make a correction here. We originally thought the pictures in this exhibit were of African skinheads in the 70s, but the photographer emailed us and let us know the true backstory:"The shoot was a fantasy re-imagining of style history. What would it have looked like if the early (pre-racist) skinhead movement arose not in working class London, but in Lagos Nigeria? What if there was a portrait photographer documenting the movement, and his images were lost for thirty years until recovered in a shoebox in some dusty bazaar?It touches on style fantasy, on anthropological traditions, and on enthusiastic portraiture of from West Africa in the 60s and 70s (particularly Malick Sidibe). It also touches on the mental condition of colonialism, Nigeria having been a British colony. Much like the Sapeurs in the French Congo who aspire so greatly to the luxury items of Paris." We apologize for the confusion, but these are still some real cool shots! The arrows to move from one picture to the next are hard to see, so just click on either side of the pictures.
