Unfortunately, the only people who have the balls to put skinheads on TV are
psycho-babbling ass holes like Geraldo Rivera (sp?--like I care).  What in
the hell did he expect, with the white-supremist skins, a rabbi, and a rather
large black man.  That was asking for trouble (and I'd say he got it. . .).
Had you pulled your head out of your ass long enough to notice, the majority
of the skins (there were several in the audience) were not white-supremist,
or skum bag, cest-infested bums.

Again, obviously you don't understand what being a skin is all about.  I am
not an authority on the subject, nor am I a skin myself.  But I do have a
couple of freinds who are.  One of them marched **against** the KKK in 
Washington DC a couple of years ago at the age of 16.  This shows lots of
responsibility, and also courage to stand up for what he believes in.  How
do you want him to better himself?  He is a straight A student, has a job.
and is very socially, politically, and mentally aware.  True, for the most
part, they can get very violent for their beliefs, but who can't.  How
would you feel if you were dicriminated against because of your hair style?
I happen to have fairly long hair, and it infuriates me when I am looked
down upon because of the length of my hair.  Basically, to avoid their
violence, treat them like people.

> Spare us, please.  This sort of bigoted trash the world can do without.

Excuse me, oh wise one, but are you then favoring censorship?  Do you think
that just because **you** don't agree with someone else's feelings that they
should be wiped out?  You insignificant **prejudiced** bastard, we can do 
without you, too!

Exactly what skins do, keep trying.  They don't give up.
