It annoys that skinhead has become synonymous with fascism in the media, even though the vast majority of skinheads now and for the past forty years have been either apolitical or leftists.

I think it has a lot to do with the environment they grow up in. I'm not "pure" ayrian, but in southern california more than most others places in the US, people like me don't stand out at all.

But, when I was in high school, this skinhead guy transferred to my school from some other state. He couldn't get over the fact that I was hanging out with his white friends, and soon we were trading fists in the park until a security guard broke it up.

But, we became really good friends after that. He even told me that he himself had never really fully understood the neo-nazi movement, and that it was the thing to do in whatever backwater state he was from.

And because of that experience alone, I always keep in the back of my mind the possibility that there is a liberal treehugger trapped inside of every fascist.
