but if you yell ANYTHING in a public setting EVERYONE will look anyway.
Lets not forget the true history of skinheads. There are "good" skins out there, traditional skins of every race. I know black, brown and white skinheads that listen to ska and are just working class traditional skins.
I don't think you could be further from the truth. I'm pretty well absorbed into Jamaican history and culture and I've never read or seen such a thing. The only reference I can think of you may be drawing this from is the song "Crazy Baldheads" by Bob or possibly searching Wikipedia for the word skinhead. Niether of which confirm what you're claiming. The Bob song isn't addressing skinheads by any means, more so those stiff necked fools, suits and ties, government, etc. The Wiki reference to skinheads and rudeboys was stating that in the earlier days skinheads were interested in the rudeboy style and culture, before reggae music itself became more focussed on black nationalism and the Rastafari movement(which basically boils down to- once it embraced color, they washed their hands of it). Maybe I'm all wrong, maybe you're citing many other references all together and I'm not as schooled on the subject as I thought, if so enlighten me please, because I had no idea rudeboys were some or "many of the first traditional skinheads"
Bryan, CSX1037, Could you two pause this about 4-5 minutes? I'd like to get some popcorn but I don't wanna miss anything.
i mean by this jamaican rude boys living in the united kingdom, atleast i think they were of jamaican origin as if they'd moved to the united kingdom. they still kept their accents i know this much, my mother growing up was a trojan 'skinbird', i was always around these goups of people including some directly from the bahamas and the uk so i'm just laying down my first hand experience, i'm not an encyclopedia.
No worries, not here to argue with ya, it was just news to me what you were stating. You look to be about mid to late 20's in age and your claim was "many of the first traditional skinheads were jamaican rudeboys". I guess when you put the word "first" in there I made the silly assumption you were talking about some of the first skinheads which were popping up in the 60's. I guess you meant the first ones you had a first hand experience in meeting, I don't know? Doesn't matter, silly topic is silly.
