Talk:White power skinhead

Anti-Judaism/Anti-Semitism
Why is this article listed in the category above, and nothing else? Wikipedia seems to think that racism and bigotry hardly exists for everyone except for anti-Semitism/anti-judaism. It's really belittling to list bigotry against one group of people especially when they hate other groups of people just as much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marccarran (talk • contribs) 14:44, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

Expand the lead
I have rewritten most of the article. Can someone help me by reading the article, then summarize it in the lead? It will take like 30min maximum. Thanks. Alcaios (talk) 19:48, 21 June 2020 (UTC)


 * There are a great many factual inaccuracies in the article, as well as fatuous generalisations that could just as well apply to other types of skinheads. The description of "original" skinheads is quite wrong: what is being described is the style that originated from about 1977-79. And as for ladder-lacing boots, all skinheads wear them like that: the only ones who don't are "plastic" skins, fetish skins, and people who are just kidding themselves.:Nuttyskin (talk) 16:31, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi. This is not what WP:RELIABLE sources say:
 * Cooter (2006): Accordingly, at this early stage, the arresting fashion of choice for group members, which would indeed be an emblem for the Skins for more than 20 years, was already visible. The most distinguishing feature of their style of self-presentation was a shaved head or very closely-cropped hair, which not only was practical in the increasing numbers of physical altercations involving Skins, but also was originally meant to be reactionary against both hippie and wealthy, elitist cultures prevalent at the time (Hamm 1993). Other aspects of their dress typically included blue jeans, thin red suspenders, a bomber jacket, and steel-toed combat boots or Doc Martens (Anti-Defamation League N.d.b).
 * Ventsel (2014): This early [1960s] skinhead era was brief but influential. In the few years before the decline, skinheads emulated their own style of Doc Martens boots, braces, Crombie coats, sheepskin jackets, and mohair suits, in addition to the classic feather cut hairstyle, mini skirt costumes, and fishnet stockings for girls. The style fetishism of the early skinheads was extremely elitist and similar to the mods, details and brands were important.

The "88" stands for "HH" or "Heil Hitler"
This is false information. It actually stands for the 88 word statement of principle in Hitler's Mein Kampf.--Phil of rel (talk) 03:29, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
