Skinheads are people who dislike or look down on other cultures other than their own. They believe that people who are not "pure blood", in other words, all American, British, etc are invading or not worthy of being in their country. A lot of them follow the beliefs of Adolf Hitler, and most of them shave their heads, hence the reason they are called Skinheads. They are in many countries including Australia, America, and England.
Some more tid-bits that weren't mentioned above...
The Skinhead movement was started in England, as a few younger extremists wanted to take the Punk movement to a new level. In the US, there was already the KKK (Klu Klux Klan) that was a advocate for white supremacy, however, they had a hard time recruiting the younger generation. Over time, as the Punk music made its way into the US, the skinhead lifestyle also made its way here. And yes, skinheads are Nazi sympathizers, some believe that it was the ultimate way to rebel against society, and others just believe that it's just what they do. Well, when the skinheads made their way to the US, they were also trying to join the KKK to help with the White Power movement, however, the KKK thinks that they're too out of control and do not properly represent what the KKK believes in, so to this day, skinheads are mostly drunk, short tempered, violent, white, and kind of a thorn in the side for local communities.
I suppose because of the affiliation/association the SS had with the Nazi eugenics program .
Skinheads adopted the swastika as a symbol to express their affiliation with far-right ideologies and to provoke a sense of rebellion and identity. The use of the swastika, originally a symbol of good fortune in various cultures, became associated with white supremacy and neo-Nazi movements, reflecting their racist and nationalist beliefs. For many skinheads, the symbol served as a means to align themselves with a radical subculture that rejected mainstream values and embraced a confrontational stance.
well certain skinhead groups use nazi symbols
If you mean, are there any people still alive who belonged to the Nazi party in Germany and assisted in the genocide known as the Holocaust, then yes, there are still a few around, although they are of course quite elderly now. If you mean, is Nazism still around today, then, the answer is also yes. Nazism has never died. It just changes and evolves. There is a movement known as "Neo-Nazism" that idolizes and celebrates the Nazi party and their crimes. It goes without saying that they are deeply, deeply anti-Semitic and believe all the classic bigoted myths about Jewish people (Jews are greedy and dishonest, Jews are controlling the world, all Jews know each other and are secretly planning to take over the world, Jews hate and oppress non-Jews, etc., etc.). Neo-Nazis are often associated with skinheads. However, it is very important to note that all skinheads are NOT Neo-Nazis. Neo-Nazi skinheads are an embarrassing subgroup of regular skinheads. Originally, being a skinhead had nothing to do with anti-Semitism or racism. It was a musical movement, really. It was an offshoot of the punk movement. Regular skinheads hate Neo-Nazi skinheads as much as the rest of us do, and they really do not appreciate being confused with those people. So don't just assume that anybody with a shaved head, a wife-beater, and Doc Marten boots is a Neo-Nazi, because it may not be the case!
True skins have no racist or political affiliations. We are a group of working class men and women, that dress smart listen to good music and know how to party. Black or White, Hispanic or Asian doesnt matter.
There are plenty of skinheads with brown eyes. White power skinheads can have any eye or hair color. Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARPS) can be any race.
Keystone State Skinheads was created in 2001.
While some skinheads are members of gangs or "crews", many skinheads consider themselves to be "independent". Many skinheads feel association with other skins based on the fact that they hold the same ideals and values.
Originally meant to be the girlfriend, friend, or supporter of skinheads. It was stated that girls aren't supposed to be skinheads, but rather to help out the guys that are, but still wanted rank within the skinheads. So, they became skinbyrds. Some skinbyrds took on the look of skinheads, with the boots and shaved heads or Chelsea hair, but most remained anonymous and chose to look 'normal'. Some claim that there is no such thing as a female skinhead, and all that exists are skinbyrds. I suppose this though counts on what subgroup of skinheads you are. Traditional skinheads believe in skinbyrds, and racist ones do too. Sharp and Rash skinheads think of women as skinheads, however. See that girl over there, hanging out with all those skinheads, she's a skinbyrd.
Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice was created in 1987.
Real skinheads are not racist. There are skinheads of every race all over the globe.
because they just do. I am white and I will never allow myself to be racist. I am against skin heads,kkk's,white supremastists and stuff. I don't even like the fact they are still alive.- - - - -Dude, skinheads hate EVERYBODY except other skinheads and they're not completely in love with them. That's why they become skinheads in the first place.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------i dont know why but skinheads need to get themselves a life
Skinheads

It is difficult to determine the exact percentage of skinheads in America as their numbers are relatively small and can vary over time. Skinheads form a small subset of the population and are considered to be a fringe extremist group with views that are not representative of the broader population.
Unfortunately no they do not.
First. You should learn how to spell 'enemies.' Second. The enemies of skinheads are 'hippies, Mexicans, capitalists, multiculturalists, and there are a few more.'
