S.H.A.R.P - Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice

A second year Bournemouth University TV Production film set in Britain, 1982.

[@loyalsmith4096]

Being a skinhead does not make you a racist or a fascist,or anachist , or violent, o.k. people. I miss those days,had a load of skinhead mates,and still do today! And they are the most friendly kind generous people I've ever had the pleasure to meet,thankyou!

[@nyxzgaming]

Yup. Being a racist goes against the foundation of skinhead culture as well, and it’s origins in the love Jamaican Rude Boi culture. Can’t let the racist people claim a cultural identity that isn’t theirs to claim!

It's a rather good job considering it appears to be student film. Simple but credible acting, good camera work, nice editing. It gets the point across. I'm glad that the producer pointed out at the end of the film that SHARP was founded in 1987 NYC rather than 1982 Bournemouth.

[@whitedwarf13]

A fair few people in the comments have the incorrect notion that the subculture began in Jamaica. This is completely false, though the look was interlinked with Jamaican rudeboys skinhead was started in London, England by 'hard mods' who shaved their heads.

[@pressureflipin1992]

whitedwarf13 no. That's completely wrong.

[@_Jaspy_]

The roots are from Jamaica but the scene was born in UK. Because skinhead culture is a clash between the Jamaican rudeboys and the Brithis working class youths

[@gizmocrystal]

Excellent film!!. I am mixed race and always loved the look but I always associated it with Nazism until I saw that film about Fred Perry subculture. Keep going, lets reclaim it!!

[@Stsebastian8900]

you know what i have always enjoyed fashion and me and my friends went through a skin head phase when we was about 17-20, i studied politics at college found anarchism to be my ideology, im now 23 and my wardrobe is heavily influenced by skin head design and fashion. Any way recently i started loosing my hair so just thought , fuck it ill shave it off, any way now being a skin head and dressing the part - i feel like people judge me and that im going to be deemed a racist ! its really annoying because im not going to change my entire wardrobe, skin head culture wasn't even racist back when it began, more should be done to bring awareness to this. SO respect S.H.A.R.P

[@user-nu7di3lx4v]

[@James_I_Archer]

I know mate I've always rocked the Fred perry and Ben Sherman but more as a football casual / chav but as I've got older I've smartened up and everyone is saying I look like a skinhead well oi fucking oi

[@leekenyon8705]

The real skinheads come from the anti-migrant worker party movement of britain unlike sharps who are look upon as fake skinheads and cowards who are terrified of being seen as a racial skinheads making sharps easier to dominate by those hostile to whiteness.

[@James_I_Archer]

@@leekenyon8705 not really mate they came from the Mods and Jamaican rude boys originally then the far right skins and sharps where formed as a later revival

[@Stsebastian8900]

In all honesty, I agree that many of my country men, that is those of my racial stock (white indigenous) are terrified of being called "racist." Although I dont think such buzzwords are as powerful as compared to when I was younger, at least not On me anyway. With Tommys movement, anti - white crimes, esp against our children and the woke mob; people are less blind to the objectives of anti -white elements. How many times are the motives not known?? Or the adverts clearly mocking white men? I admit I was a victim of such anti - white fear mongering, conditioned to a specific citnat ideology at best or at worst self hatred. Even though I am now a ethonat, I am not racist and so don't want to be associated with racism if possible, so I don't actively dress the part. Unfortunately skinhead fashion has been given a very negative association, even if that is unjustified. As I am 29 now and balding still, (which is hard for me I was always vain) I find myself less interested in fashion but even wearing jeans and a white top I can look the part so can't escape it. Perhaps this attack on skinhead clothes is just another attack on white people.

This is GENIUS! I regret there has been far too little done to explain all of UK 20th Century Sub-Culture and Pop-Cultures, but to me they are the most fascinating and rich history, for proper understanding of Britain Post War, and it pisses me off that too many historians haven't yet started doing serious literature about 1950-1997. I will admit to be a little bit obsessed with anything to do with any and all of the youth cultures that arose in the UK then, perhaps because I positively LOATHE the 21st Century so much.

spartanskin ankbx One can not exist without discrimination and still live. All actions and choices and behavior are inherently discriminatory and such anti-racist ideology pushed by left wingers are normally discriminatory and often aimed at the destruction of different species of humanoid and are often used as a method of control and such ideology can be changed and altered on a whim to fulfill different Political agenda and I understand some are even claiming eating meat is racist.

I know a lot of is American skinheads stopped calling ourselves "antiracist" and adopted the term "nonracist" back in the 90's when the left basically turned antiracism into antiwhite.
