"The Skinhead phenomenon began in the industrial cities of 1960s Britain as a working class movement strongly marked by contempt for hippies and middle-class youth. Though drugs and violence were always part of the Skinhead scene, Skinheads originally embraced Afro-Caribbean music and were of different races. But British fascists were able to precipitate a split in the movement between racist and antiracist elements ? a split that has endured to the present day, both in Britain and in the United States, where Skins arrived in the early 1980s."
