[YourGoatseGay]

just shows how many people are15 on this site and dont know anything about music.jimmy and liver are right ska skin heads are not nazis they wore bald heads and boots because they were the factory work foce of the time. they also wore suits to mock the upper class. why would a nazi or racist be into ska or reggae or dancehall when the guy singing is probly a rastafarian or directly inspired by one?

[tropicalpimp]

internet tough guy.

my 7year old is tough on line.

typical of a dirty squater - talks shit when it counts least.

[RafalOi]

:* :*

[tropicalpimp]

Squaters showed up to a skinhead party downtown last night.They were asked in a very rude way(the ONLY way to ask a piece of shit squatter to do ANYTHING) to leave and decided to just 'have one more drink"...we couldnt wait. So naturally,they got the business...boots in mouth,knuckles on noses,elbows in eyes - it was beautiful. Too bad you weren't there to join them.

Brush your teeth,wash your ass,n get a fuckin job you filthy piss&shit smelling douche bags! Oi!

[MacDuffy123]

skin head was started by migrant jamaicans who moved to britain in the 50's it was a style they listened to regae and sca music and would call themselves rudeboys or skinheads cause of their haircuts then nearer the end of the century the term skinhead meant a racist white person destroyed the meaining completely like nazis destroyed the swastika symbol infact i would say skinhead culture up until the 80s helped put aside racist veiws completely with white and black people enjoying the music.

[tropicalpimp]

No it was NOT.SKINHEAD was started by English.they were workin class kids who listened to reggea/ska,which became the new rock n roll in the late 60's,early 70s.Jamaicans were embraced by them so in turn began 2 make SKINHEAD REGGEA.The skinhead/mod style(in terms of fashion)had already been established.They were called SUEDHEADs but once they shaved thier heads to have a more militant look-SKINHEAD!Then came the National Front and recruited skinz...hence the birth of boneheads skinz.

[MacDuffy123]

i didnt know the skinhead style made it to america thaught i was just a british jamaican/white youth culture in the 60's-70's then the racist skin heads came in the 80's. i didnt live then but it fascinates me. im assuming your american cause i checked your page, i could be wrong.

[flaamekillah]

this is england :)

fuckin great song mate

[Justyna88]

Can't stop listening... so great song, love it! ;)

[collibosher70]

[SidViciousPunkMartyr]

[collibosher70]

[SidViciousPunkMartyr]

don't u believe me or what's the matter?

[collibosher70]

[SidViciousPunkMartyr]

i did catch that... i just don't know if you want to diss me or if you want to prove me right?

[collibosher70]

how can saying good on yer be seen as being dissed..if you like this song/music then great.

[DjGaffel]

I just love this song!!!!!!! And i love England England regae rocks!!!1

[TheRecordead]

Fuck the comments under mine! THIS SONG IS BETTER THEN ANY OF THEM! Fucking great song this right here! Bless

[tutnallman]

them selves, rather than an arbitary "colour". oh for goodness sake!

grow up, be proud to be british,accept what we are, and look the world right in the eye. noone owes us a living so get out there and make a contribution to the society you live amongst.

[bifaybump]

mate i never said anything other that it was racist of you to basically say that black people normally are bad performers. there are nasty black people, there are nasty white people it doesnt make any difference, lets not scale this up, i was merely shocked that you implied black people were bad performers.

[tutnallman]

this country has a wealth of talent in the people who are of many different hues and backgrounds. All are welcome as long as they love and embrace the freedoms we have earnt in 1000 years of conflict, i hate racism but i hate more those that would live amongst us, enjoy that freedom, and despise those values we hold most dear. Meet me in friendship i will be your friend,share our values and i will share my bread, abuse our trust and i will fight you til the end...................

[strictlyrastamans]

hate is something that should be transformed in to love ;) you have a sick brain i can tell you that. america is realy the dumbest country in the world and it is sad that they are the leading force in the world (after russia ofc ;) ) and the racict problem exists almost only in usa :/ when will people realise that it isnt how you look , its how you think and how you feel :) peace and love from Serbia ;]

[tropicalpimp]

'racist problem exists almost ONLY in USA' LOL

Race is a big issue here but it's obvious you've been in Serbia(or on-line)too long. Get out more and u will see theres' racism EVERYWHERE no more or less than the U.S. England,Spain,Germany,France;t­hose people are racist as fuck-espcially at the football.Tierry Henry even started an anti-racist campain cause it was so bad people were throwing penuts and bananas at black players.That shit would NOT fly at an NFL,MLB,NBA event - you'd get fucked up!

[MacDuffy123]

yeah you missed the point lol bless ya you wrote a flipping essay aswell but yeah i also think you missed the era aswell and the nation i wasnt talking about racism i was talking about style and music genre and you have to pull out the racism card im sick to death of seeing arguements about racism on here you proberly wanna delete this comments its not realy a viable reply to my comment.

[tropicalpimp]

I personaly am not racist but its hard to listen to this with others who have ties with skinhead culture or who are still skinz who take shit to heart and NOT talk about race. after all, you can always click 'full screen" and not read any comments!

[TheFunkyAlchemist]

I'm 12 years old and love arguing on the internet!

[mishabruml]

same lol

[JimmyBshaw]

@TheFunkyAlchemist than your a shallow person..

arguing on the internet is stupid.

so with that i will end this conversation i have started..

[TheFunkyAlchemist]

It was a reply to someone else darling, get over yourself ;)

[JimmyBshaw]

@TheFunkyAlchemist nice exscuse. im done with you.

[shizleconjuror]

@tropicalpimp also russia man, that place is soooo rascist, and israel.

[tutnallman]

oh dear oh dear. i cannot understand some folk.

what is the problem with these folk who i might have called coloured?

i used to be open minded until i was kicked down the stairs in a music shop because i was white, ok they were just violent thugs, then i live with a lady who wouldnt associate with coloured gentlemen because they were chauvinist and violent, i work with people who may have a different skin. but... what is the problem with people who cannot just be

[tutnallman]

oh dear, have i offended someone? i was only wishing to express my appreciation of the music, but if this is racist , then what twisted opinions do you have?

[bifaybump]

it was the 'for', implying that black people are usually perform less well than white people, it was along the lines of saying 'your strong for your age' to a little child, i get that there wasnt malice i your comment, but it was still a backhanded compliment.

[tutnallman]

for coloured gentlemen they perform extremely well.

i wish them all the best......

[bifaybump]

racist bastard , naive maybe but what the fuck do you mean for coloured gentlemen?

[stokeybacon88]

better than saying nigger :S

[darganx]

I see we got the Chelsea Skins in attendance...

[blaaackrain]

they are the best . :D

[superbobble]
