White power skinheads or '''Nazi skinheads''' are a Far Right Subculture that developed in the United Kingdom around the late 1970s. Typically Racist , Anti-Semitic , Anti-islamic , White Supremacist , Anti-gay and often Neo-Nazi , the subculture emerged at a time when the UK was experiencing a second wave of the Punk Subculture . White power skinheads have a reputation for initiating violent confrontations with non-whites, Muslims, Jews, gays and left-wingers on the street and at political demonstrations. They are sometimes involved in White Nationalist political organizations, such as the People's National Party (Russia), the National Democratic Party Of Germany , the British National Front and the National Socialist Movement Of Denmark . White power skinheads are sometimes called ''boneheads'' by non-racist {Link without Title} s and other opponents; both as a derogatory term and to avoid confusion between racist and non-racist skinheads. HISTORY The original Skinhead subculture started in the late 1960s, and had heavy British Mod and Jamaica n Rude Boy influences — including an appreciation for Ska , early Reggae and Soul Music .http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m2005/is_1_38/ai_n6234788/pg_112 http://www.reggaereggaereggae.com/Special%20Articles.htm The identity of skinheads in the 1960s was neither based on White Power nor Neo-Nazism , but some skinheads (including Black skinheads) had engaged in ''Paki bashing'' (violence against random Pakistan is and other South Asia n immigrants).[http://www.skinheadnation.co.uk/tilburyskinheads.htm http://web.archive.org/web/20050929223759/http://www.trojanrecords.net/articles/monty2.htm The original skinhead scene had mostly died out by 1972, and a late-1970s revival came partly as a backlash against the commercialization of faction, involving organizations such as the National Front , British Movement , Rock Against Communism and Blood And Honour . Because of this, the mainstream media began to label the whole skinhead identity as Neo-Nazi . The racist subculture eventually spread to North America, Europe and other areas of the world. After the movement spread to the United States, some racist skinheads in that country became involved with groups such as Church Of The Creator , White Aryan Resistance and the Hammerskins (a group that then spread to other countries). According to a 2007 report by the Anti-Defamation League , groups such as the Ku Klux Klan , white power skinheads and neo-Nazis have been growing more active in the United States in recent years, with a particular focus on opposing non-white Immigration , specifically from Mexico .http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/02/06/national/main2440306.shtml Neo-Nazi skinheads have become numerous in formerly Communist Eastern Europe an countries, in particular Russia . The Russian newspaper ''Mosnews'' estimated in 2005 that there were up to 50,000 Nazi skinheads in Russia involved in groups such as the National Bolshevik Party and Russian National Unity . This is almost the same figure as the estimate of up to 70,000 for the rest of the world.http://www.mosnews.com/news/2005/04/18/russianskinheads.shtml STYLE AND CLOTHING In contrast to the Mod -influenced traditional skinheads, Nazi skinheads tend to wear higher boots, T-shirt s instead of button-up shirts, and army trousers or Jeans . They usually crop their hair shorter than the 1960s-style skinheads; often to grade 0 length or shaved off completely with a Razor . Nazi skinheads generally have more Tattoo s than traditional skinheads, and these tattoos are usually of explicitly racist content. In contrast to other skinheads, many Nazi skinheads do not wear Braces , and some wear chains and rings featuring Nazi or white power emblems. Some Nazi skinheads do not have entirely shaved heads but rather have a punk-style haircut, however these individuals identify themselves as skinheads on account of their racist inclinations. In Germany, the Lonsdale clothing brand has been popular among some Nazi skinheads. This is because the four middle letters of Lonsdale, ''NSDA'', are almost the same as the abbreviation of Adolf Hitler 's political party, the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (NSDAP).http://news.independent.co.uk/europe/article352747.ece SYMBOLS # White Power version of the Celtic Cross # Odal Rune ( Nordic culture) # White fist (White Power) # Iron Cross with Swastika # SS # Totenkopf There are also coded symbols, such as the number 88 (for the eighth letter of the alphabet — ''HH'' for "Heil Hitler"), and 18 (''AH'' for " Adolf Hitler ").
