    Frank Meeink tells how he was drawn into America's Nazi underground and how he ultimately triumphed over drugs and hatred.
    In Autobiography of a Recovering Skinhead he talks about what made him easy prey for skinhead gang recruiters, how, by 16, he had become one of the most notorious skinhead gang leaders on the East Coast, and how he defected from the white supremacy movement and changed his life.

    @geneva: There are different kinds of skinheads. He wasn't a regular skinhead, he was a racist skinhead!

      @@Mason-wu4ve yes I thought the same way but the all the history articles I read on it, they said racists basically brainwashed like half the skinheads into being racist, that’s how America knows the racist skins and not really the spirit of 69 skins cause all the people that got brainwashed started pushing their ideology more than the original meanwhile some of them came from the original skinheads, it’s almost anywhere on the internet, just like any other culture people come along destroy it and make their own sub culture out of it, you are probably thinking racist skins popped up one day out of no where the way the got them brainwashed was the same way here in America, instead of illegal Mexicans coming over the boarder they went after a different nationality, and it wasn’t just white at first either, black and white both fought the illegals that they were being told that were comin into their country and somehow along the way it evolves to being racism

      @@Mason-wu4ve another thing a lot of racist skinheads were still into the music that never matter they never cared it seemed like from what I saw, if you watch this is England that gives u a perfect example how racists interfere with people trying to support their country and just enjoying their music, I was really never good at explaining the history but tht movie is pretty dead on in my eyes

    please and thank you. do some history, skinheads and what you advocated are not the same thing. neo-nazi and skinhead are two very different things.

      Dingo Core you are wrong bc in the mid 70’s skinheads started to become racist in England from the economy doing bad so they blamed it on illegal immigrants which were mostly Pakistani
