  • I thought this was going to be skinhead reggae. boo.

  • As being a skinhead myself and listening to that,what a load of crap....seems she needs to be introduced to laurel aitken or some other form of ska/reggae artists who created our scene,she's just uneducated or cant open her eyes to the fact and trying to crucify us !

  • If you haven't seen a Skinhead like she describes you must be ignorant or very lucky. Despite what you want to believe these issues surround you.

  • @farbrorbla

    It's not the fact that she thinks a skinhead actually thinks like this, it's a different form of poetry. It's where you describe someone that isn't you, in their point of view. She's not ignorant. I've actually met people who think like that.

  • I am a skinhead. So is a couple of black folks i know. For being an "intellectual" she sure needs to read some books and study the stuff she is talking about. Ignorant c.u.n.t.

  • hey guys, im studying this poem for my english. and i was just wondering if any of you could help me out. what is this actually about? its such a powerful poem and she is amazing but there is just so much to it that i can't quite work out what is the meaning behind it. would really appreciate it if you could help me out :)

  • I've lived in the US for 30 years, in cities and in the country, and I have not seen 1 skinhead like she describes.

  • She is the type of woman that can make you shiver with such a short little piece. She's brilliant, and a wonderful writer. I look up to her.

  • Had the honour of seeing her live! she's amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love how she mixes poetry and storytelling, she makes you feel it.
