This blog has been on the web for 4 days and yet I have received several hate emails and one that has threatened my life. Regardless of my race or sexual orientation, I am still a skinhead and to those who sent the emails, I have been a skinhead since 1968, well before they were even a twinkle in their fathers eye. For me being a skinhead is a way of life, but being a gay skinhead came to me later in life. Untill 1978 I was your average skinhead, unemployable, or constantly out of work. I had an attitude problem and a record of many visits to police cells. I was given an option, prison or military service, so I opted for military service. It was more a skinhead gang than many I had been in before and a closer family feel.
I worked with many races and men of many colours and came to appreciate each and their abilities. My hate turned to admiration and to become a SHARP. Hate was never a part of my upbringing but I learnt it as part of being a skinhead. Many skinheads or 'boneheads' have good family backgrounds where hate was not part of their upbringing but more from their association with NF/WP or Nazi groups. Some were born into WP families and know no better.
I don't care about the emails, I believe every man on this planet has the right to express themselves in the form of free speech. I also believe that this blog is open to critism and welcome it. It means free speech is still alive and well. To our WP/NF and Nazi (bonehead) brothers maybe your interest in this blog can be used for your proporganda but it will never change the mind of a true SHARP.
