What pisses me off...........

Why can't white kids have cool names too? Know what you mean though.

Rumors have been flying at work about lay-offs. We've been ramping up production so hard and now we're easing down to last year's levels, and machines are being shutdown. Anyone need an electronics, electro/mechanical, kind of guy at the coast? Time to update my monster account.

dudes with bad style dropping in on other dudes. if you are going to burn someone, at least make a little effort to make it not look like you are taking a massive sh*t. otherwise, kindly paddle that stank down the beach a bit.

Caucasian surfers who give their kids polynesian names.

damn rj, putting a stake through my heart here, have to comment on this one.

im haole and not afraid to claim it. my father was born and raised in hawaii, but no hawaiian blood. i was born and raised too. my middle name is my fathers name, in hawaiian. i've always been proud of that. in fact my bro and sis also have hawaiian middle names. its not a trend or a statement, its just our culture and heritage. whether or not we have hawaiian blood, i have always considered myself 'local' due to my association with the 'waterman' culture and my upbringing. i dont define a local as a hawaiian, but a person from the islands who embodies the hawaiian culture. i can see ur point, definitely lame in certain senses, but i'll claim my name till i die. sorry for the rant, may sound lame to some and people will probably talk smack, but that doesnt affect me.
stay strong to your roots.

I hate when white people name their kids things like Napweesha or Shaquiel. Or when black folk name their kid Ted or Nancy. Or when white people name their kids native names like Driftlog or Salish, and then the injuns name their kid Gene, now that really rocks my balls. Oh, and white people named Yimsum and a chinaman named Jon.....fukken pissed now.

I was reading something by Neil Peart and her was kind of making an observation that really, there is no such thing as race but instead what we perceive as race is maybe infact culture. So that pic of whitey there really in some ways doesnt show a race but a culture. Just like white guys in Hawaii..... that in itself is a culture within a culture.

it all boils down to identity...

The true skinhead culture is about roots.

Not race.

And I am down with that.

Peckerwood.

True skinhead culture is that of Jamaica with skankin and such. Ska was adopted by punk. Neo-Nazis liked punk and then adopted the skinhead deal. Peckerwoods twisted a funloving culture.

and class. 'Skinhead' comes from a renewed pride in being working class, when post WWII fashion and culture was all about the excess that these kids had a hard time affording.

It is not hard to see where the racsist element came into it. It was hijacked by the British National Front in the 70s, in response to the huge influx of immigrants from India/ Pakistan and the Caribbean. At first the skins were down with immigrant youth (especially the Jamaicans) but it soon turned ugly.

'This Is England' and 'Made in Britain' are some pretty good dramatizations of skin culture.

in the 80s in Britain, kids were politically charged. young people have serious opinions and fought for them on the streets... my how things have changed in this day and age of the internet, ipods and reality TV...

I hadn't heard that angle with what was going on in England. I always thought everything important happened in America.

The idea that Skinhead has become syninmous with racism pisses me off.

The otehr day I was in Winco with my flight jacket, Doc's and shaved head adn the looks I got were not friendly.

that ignorance is upsetting. Always has been. hell my flight jackets are black even...no red suspenders or laces....

Ignorance pisses me off.
