I know that Lucas, now. But when I was a young teenage punk, in the early 90s in Minneapolis, 95% of skins were nazis. Kind of gave ska a bad name for me. I was friends with some skinheads that were the old school and not racist after awhile. But I couldn't go to a Ska show or even Flogging Molly type Irish pride bands without seeing so much hate. That originally swayed me away from the genre.

But I have an open mind, and I know not all skinheads are bad. I just don't condone hate. And I had tons of fun skankin at the Specials! :)

And obviously the Specials were not promoting hate. I was not trying to insult them or any of their fans. It was just my outlook when I was young, because of what I saw. I am pretty sarcastic and none of my comments should be taken too seriously.
