Alright kids...Punks aren't labled as being racists just like traditional skins aren't racist...so whats the point of this Sharp movement in punk rock society?[glow=red,2,300]TEXT[/glow]OI!TEXT

Racism is a problem everywhere, not just in the skinhead scene. There are many Nazi Punks and any reaction agaisnt them would be a help.

I would have to agree with racism being readily abound in other scenes besides just that of skins.

Anti-Racist Action (mainly N. America) is an organization of a mix mash of skinheads and punks as well as others actively against racism.

I'm an active member of that in the US.

Who said punks cant join SHARP? As far as i know SHARP was set up in New York by a group of like minded Skins AND Punks. Im a punk and if i knew of a Sharp Chapter in south wales id join up no problem.

And by the way Rob, im guessing your in the south wales area, so where abouts exactly? If you are interested in starting up a group drop me a line. There's a scene around here if you know where to look

yeah it was me you talked to ;D, as far as the scene goes there are shows every now and then and thats the only time people get together. There's a few good local bands round, just gotta keep your ear open for gigs. I spend most of my time in CAerphilly and theres about 5 of us punks down there i know of, just keep ypur eyes open

[Bootboy Geth]

theres about 5 here but, even if i do say so myself, I think there more fashion punks than die hards, obssed with selling out and thinking Nazis are cool

Why not start up an msn group punks against racism, and advertise it on any forums you visit? Or even put up a site of your own if you know how to go about it, then see where it goes from there?
I have never seen a major problem with nazis in the punk scene since becoming punk myself in 1977, however I have sometimes had problems and threats just lately at punk gigs when Ive worn my oi polloi punks n skins against fascism t shirt, and Ive even had hastles wearing my lets kick racism out of football badge.

We've even got ARA Montreal, I don't know how that's doing. I know there's been some rallies/protests and such, but I don't hear too much about it anymore!
