I would regularly see guys, and girls wearing the skinhead uniform (doc martens, bomber jackets, shaved heads with white laces and/or white suspenders).
I'd like to defend my Skinhead friends (I grew up in the punk, hardcore, etc scene)
Skinheads started at as Rudeboys (West Indian Black style) and British Mods.
They were working class blue collar (and still mostly are).
These guys listened to Reggae, Oi!, Punk, Dancehall, Ska etc.
The wannabe Nazi fucks are an offshoot of the Skinhead culture. Fuck them, we used to stomp these guys at shows. They still have somewhat of a presence in So-Cal.
A famous phrase goes "Boots and Braces - don't make me racist"
Look up SHARP (Skinheads Against Racism).
I've rocked docs with white laces, boots, buzzed head, and suspenders on denim (albeit not for long). I'm BROWN !
Some of my friends still rock docs and suspenders and are white, it's shitty because they are seen as Nazi's until I shake their hand.
Anyways back to the point of this post.
The guy who trolled the school got the exact response he wanted - censorship/racism/etc.
All because of some posters, I don't think this union was serious at all.
