OP
"Skinhead" covers a pretty broad spectrum. Better to call things what they are.

I'll leave this here for others who are interested in the differences between the groups.

And the MSM must always ask Republicans why they don't acknowledge that they are Christian terrorists. (Like they did to Obama with Islamic Terrorist groups).

Skin Heads Against Racial Prejudice.
People who like the skinhead lifestyle; the haircuts, the leather and denim, the tattoos, the boots, the music, etc, but aren't racist, and don't want to be mistaken for the racist skinheads.
