[Ratchet]

The reason a lot of skinheads listen to Ska music is that a lot of Jamaicans migrated to England in the ’60s, influencing the young working class with music. Skinheads generally wear boots as a sign of their working-class heritage. Skinhead culture was co-opted by the National Front (very racist) as a way to recruit kids who were very confused and angry about their place in the world. Even non-racist Skins can be rather ignorant; even S.H.A.R.P.s can be a little too patriotic, denouncing immigrants no matter their color, and can be a little fascist in their political views (anti-Communist or anti-anarchist), though I have met many S.H.A.R.P.s who were very non-racist and genuinely kind people.
