What is a SHARPIE

What is a SHARPIE? a skinhead is against racial predudice. Why? Because the skinhead culture originated out of the West Indian culture and skinheads are part of that culture. Without the West Indian culture skinheads would not exist. Therefore, to say Neo Nazi Boneheads or WP are skinheads is to say all skinheads are racist. The media call them skinheads, well it's about time the media got their facts straight. By calling Boneheads skinheads is to defame true skinheads. Just because the Boneheads wear our clothes and shave their heads does not mean they are skinheads, because they aren't. They are racist nationalistic youth with a huge chip on their shoulder.

True skinheads are from all races, color and creeds. Skinheads are the most cosmepolitan group of youth in this world because they accept anyone who enjoys the culture of the skinheads. We are SHARP (skinheads against racial predudice) and accept all to our ranks and squads. Join us, enjoy our culture and be part of a world wide youth movement for the working class. We are more active and better know than the scouts and have a better uniform. Dib Dib, Dob Dob, Oi Oi

Can a skinhead be a property owner?

Well yesterday I decided to put an offer on a 2 bed unit in a beachside subburb. The need to get away from the crippling rent spiral has led me to think buying finally. I am a working man and would usually always be a renter like my parents but times are changing and skinhead or not, rent is dead money, lining some rich guys pocket and not your own.

So for the same price as rent I can buy a small flat of my own. It is hard to find a deposit when you are a worker with half your wage going on rent and the other half on skinhead gear, but I have made the sacrafice and put up with my old skin gear for a while and now have a small deposit, enough to get this flat.

I don't earn much, in UK terms about 300 pounds a week but in ten years I will own my flat and maybe get some new gear again. I know my Doc's will last that long, and my bleachers can survive with care but might have to buy some new braces, sox and polos during that time, but that's ok. So, this skinhead is now a property owner. Now to find a skinhead BF to match the decor. Any takers? SHARP forever

skinhead gear

Over the years my jobs have not allowed me to wear my skinhead gear to work. Apart from when I was in the military where I wore the Disruptive Pateren Uniform, this was the only time I felt like I was dressed as a skinhead. Other jobs I had to wear a uniform but I always wore my boots, much to the discust of many of my employers.

Now I have a job as a bus driver, and can finally wear most of my gear. My trusty Doc's of course, a company polo which is ok in royal blue with a yellow colar and sleeve edges but I have to wear the company work pants which are proper work pants. I use my black braces instead of a belt and often get comments, but I don't care. As a skinhead and a working man, the work pants are a good substitute for my bleachers. So now I feel like a skinhead when I am at work.

Being a skinhead and feeling like a skinhead 24/7 is so important as a person identifies whith his peers. I live in a country where skinheads are few and mostly in our southern capitals and the tropics of Australia do not lend itself to this type of clothing. I persevere because I am a skinhead and would live no other life. I no longer have a skinhead mate as he has returned to the UK but I continue to look and hope for another to join me here and become my mate in a LTR.
