I was totally fucking revolted by how no one seemed to care about that kid who was wearing full on Nazi skinhead garb and a skrewdriver Tshirt. What in the hell is wrong with you guys who hung out drinking beer with him instead of giving him a smack up side the head and telling it like it is, that fascism is not welcome in the punk community. There was a time in this city when that kid would have been chased off by an angry mob.
I don't want anyone taking me as a PC tight ass because I ain't. Anyone Who thinks that fighting white supremacy is being to PC and not having a sense of humor is clearly a sheltered little soft ass who's had way too easy a life to know when things should be taken seriously. Accepting that kind of thing is spitting in the face of any people of color, gay or Jewish people who were at the show. It's also spitting in my face and I'm not going to keep putting in time and effort on these shows and then stand around while people spit in my face. OK - Sun, 27 Apr 2008 5:06pm

Skrewdriver sucks. I agree all the people who were hanging out with him should've told him to fuck off, but that's neither here nor there. If he'd talked to me, I would've told him where to put it, but I'm a big pansy, so wasn't into the confrontation. - Sun, 27 Apr 2008 7:09pm

And so sinking to their level and immediately kicking the shit out of them on site is really going to make the situation better? If anything that kind of reaction is exactly what the kid is trying to generate. Sort of like Endeløs. I'm glad Dane kicked him out but "knocking him the fuck out" isn't going to make him suddenly realize how stupid the image he's representing is.

yeah I noticed him, and I really gotta quit giving skinheads the benefit of the doubt. "maybe he's one of the non-racist .. oh, there's the skrewdriver shirt, scratch that." He's just a little kid, I was going to ask him what the fuck he was thinking but I don't really think he needed to be beat up. I can't really envision him running with a bunch of actual skinheads, who know better in this town than to
"fly their colors".

Sorry though guys, he's not "cool." Really, he's not. - Tue, 29 Apr 2008 3:03pm

Show was fun, I enjoyed blood nasty's set a lot, although I wish I had of seen the fistifucks. Other bands not really what I'm into, but hey, they played well.
Also glad to see what I hope is a new wave of young punks hitting the scene, and breaking away from the hardcore fluff that seems to be taking over the city.

So, what did Erik do to piss everyone off? Lynch some negroes? Burn some jews? Slap a woman around? Show up in Klan attire burning crosses all over town?

Or does everyone just want to beat up a polite, strong headed (albeit a little misguided) individual for what he wears?

And I think that Skrewdriver is a great band. A lot of people claim you don't have to agree with a bands politics to like the music... Then you Rep a skrewdriver shirt and all of a sudden you're a scumbag.

In a scene that removes itself from the "norm" in terms of fashion and ideals, I find it strange that there would be so much hate towards individuals that is just trying to find his niche in the fucked up world.

Have a conversation with the kid, get to know him, before you go and kick his ass.

Not saying he doesn't have it coming, as I've warned him countless times, but I feel everyone is just jumping on the crusty old band wagon "OMG a romper stomper skinhead GTFO LOLZ save teh childrenz!!!1!!!11!!one!" without actually knowing anything about the situation.

Get your head out of the sand. A fucking skinhead with a Skrewdriver shirt is repping racism, and neo-nazism. There is no denying it. I'm sorry, my Jewish friends at that show were not impressed, and for good fucking reason. Why don't you reason with them about how we should be showing tolerance to someone who is dressed, to the fucking nines, like a nazi.

Cordell, lets butt heads here because we know who each other are; you are down with skinheads coming out to shows .. think we should show tolerance .. wouldn't it be cool if a few more showed up to the next show? Then some more .. then some older skinheads who aren't there to "mosh" with you .. that'd be cool, right? You'd party down with them as long as they're not what .. fighting people? Or is it cool if they're fighting people who you're not down with, I heard people were trying to convince him to go in and punch Dane out. You know, the guy who helps put these fucking shows on. Sweeeeeeeeeet. So we should let skinheads come out to shows until what .. they lynch someone who isn't white? - Tue, 29 Apr 2008 6:54pm

Here's the thing about bands like skrewdriver or Rahowa or the angry aryans, their music is designed to influence. A kid who listens to hate rock just because they like the music and hears lyrics like "We just sit and let them come, they've got the white man on the run, mutiracial society is a mess, we ain't gonna take much more of this" and then "white power" over and over again starts to believe it. If this wasn't true of human nature so many kids wouldn't be straight edge. just a couple of years ago Skin heads in surrey murdered an East Indian man purely as a hate crime. these things start off as seemingly innocent and escalate. The time to fight a cancer is when it's small. Should any one have beaten that kid up? no. He's probably not a racist and
just has shitty taste in music. But maybe that music will make him a racist he'll start his own hate rock band that plays music other kids will like and next thing you know Victoria has big white power scene.

And Jeff, if you make that shirt you will never see your boom box again. I have it with me right now and I'm doing OOOOOOOHHHH.... terrible things to it. - Tue, 29 Apr 2008 7:16pm

But I won't give in to your provocation, nor my anger, lest "fire shall come". So beware "mr. intolerance"! For I might declare "total war" ... which would leave the battle ground a "scorched earth", for we are both "great destroyers". Although, we might resolve our enmities and realize that overall we're both just "people" and maybe shake hands because "love will change the world" .... but as I reflect "alone with the calm" ... "I'd rather be your enemy". So take off and get "out out out"!!

"A fucking skinhead with a Skrewdriver shirt is repping racism, and neo-nazism. There is no denying it. So we should let skinheads come out to shows until what .. they lynch someone who isn't white?"

Bullshit, Scott. Wearing a bands' shirt does not equate to committing a hate crime. Nor does it lead to one. It's twisted logic like that that the christian right were trying to use after the Columbine Massacre. Remember? Marilyn Manson and violent video games were to blame for the violent actions of Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold. Ridiculous.

And by the way, I know I've seen you wearing an Emperor shirt. Using your logic you're supporting the killing of homosexuals and the burning of churches. Both activities that said band partook in.

It's not my intent to attack you, Scott. I just can't understand someone drawing parallels between a shirt and a lynching. - Wed, 30 Apr 2008 4:37pm

I don't think you can really equate Emperor's lyrics and themes and Skrewdriver's lyrics and themes. I also don't think you can say that the statement made by me wearing a blackmetal tshirt, and some kid with a shaved head wearing red suspenders and a skrewdriver shirt, is the same fashion statement. Its not. I don't really think you are attacking me by bringing that up, its a good point, but I think its safe to say that I'm pretty much the opposite of a racist.

I would also be the first to say, if someone asked me, that what's his ass from Emperor is a fucking goof and I in no way support him, or the fact that he murdered a gay person. In fact I regularly make fun of blackmetal, and blackmetal bands. We wouldn't be having a conversation if some kid JUST wore a Skrewdriver shirt to a show; would have went something like "your shirt sucks, you aren't a nazi are you? "no!" "ok good." If I asked that kid "hey you know how Skrewdriver are a white power band .. I'm slightly worried you might be racist, considering you're wearing red suspenders and have a shaved head in addition to your poor, poor choice of a shirt..." that he'd go "oh, I'm not actually a skinhead.." I wouldn't even believe him. This wasn't a fucking hallowe'en party. he is obviously a skinhead, and not of the anti-racist variety (not that I'm paticularly down with any skinhead movement.)

I really don't understand the confusion on some peoples parts here ... I'm not going to argue the point that he was going for a classic racist skinhead LOOK anymore, because that is plainly fucking obvious.

I will remember what I was told from a non-white person about the ambiguity of this skinhead look, "I'm up on the fact that there are different kinds of skinheads and some of them aren't going to give me any problems, but when I see one walking down the street I'm going to stay the fuck away, I'm not going to ask them 'hey are you one of the kinds of skinheads that is ok with me?'" Some of the people who are arguing acceptance of this kids supposed politic obviously haven't been the victim of a hatecrime, and for some reason don't even think that skinheads are perpetrators of them. I'm not a "peace punk," or whatever you are calling political punks nowadays. I am an anarchist, not a fucking hippy, and I will gladly show you the fucking door if you are a skinhead. I am never giving a skinheads the fucking benefit of the doubt in regards to their particular 'flavor' of their look ever again. This show was the breaking point, when I saw him I was like "those punks wouldn't be hanging out with him if he was THAT kind of skinhead" but unforunately, Cordell, and Jeff, and whoever else was bro-ing down with him, you apparently are fine with white-power skinheads as long as they're not beating up black people in front of you. And ok, I heard you, he's not racist, but why is he dressed EXACTLY like a white power skinhead? No one would dress like that unless they were a white power skinhead, or severely brain-damaged. If he is confused about that, let this be a lesson: don't dress like that unless you are repping neo-nazism, because that is what dressing like that means.

If this kid is not a racist skinhead, he needs to not dress EXACTLY LIKE ONE. I never said "let's beat him up" but sorry, that kid is never stepping foot into a show I am playing or have anything to do with ever again if he's going to dress like that, and I don't even care to defend my position on that. - Thu, 1 May 2008 10:23am

HAHAHAHAHAHA...

erics not a racist get it threw your head scott. i personally dont think eric is smart enought to have a racist views anyways. hes just a nice misguided kid, his last "fashion statement" was wearing metal shirts and repping iron maiden hard and growing his hair out, he'll grow out of this one soon. and unless i hear about him saying something racist/commiting a hate crime im not going to tell him what shirt to wear, how he should wear his hair or any of that shit, its up to him to make his own mind up about it. leave eric alone man. he just wants to get drunk and party. get to know him before making all the accusations. even if you are a close minded "oh hes wearing the White power skin head uniform he must be a piece of shit nazi" idea in your head.

Deovting a whole paragraph to explaining the difference is 'glossing over?' Okay, let me recap:

The skinhead look, as defined right here by a shaved head, red suspenders, military boots, a racist oi band t-shirt, and denim jeans rolled up, symbolizes being part of a white power movement. That is EXACTLY what is symoblizes. It doesn't symbolize anything else. Pleading ignorance to this fact is impossible, because you would have to know something about the white-power movement to even know to dress like that.

Wearing a band t-shirt with an ex-member who murdered a gay person and current members who burnt some churches (hell, who am I kidding, burning churches rules) symbolizes .. liking a band with an ex-member who murdered a gay person. It does not symbolize homophobia. Wearing metal t-shirts do not align you with an anti-gay movement. I have seen homophobic metal t-shirts. I would not wear them.

Emperor DON'T talk about killing gay people in their music.

Skrewdriver DO talk about white power in their music.

Is it still glossed over? Need me to clarify further? - Thu, 1 May 2008 5:52pm

What the hell are we still arguing about this for? We've pretty much all agreed that him dressing as a skinhead is stupid, Dane did the right thing by telling him to get out, there was no need for violence, he's not really a legitimate threat to anybody ("I can't really envision him running with a bunch of actual skinheads" - Scott a little further up in this thread)... was it really necessary to accuse Jeff and Cordell of pretty much being nazi sympathizers? Had he actually made any attempt at following through on any kind of nazi ideals (or even made any kind of racist statements) this would be a completely different story, but the reason Jeff and Cordell were still hanging out with him is because they know he's completely harmless and will be onto his next fashion phase in no time. How much do you really need to know about nazism to have found out about skinheads? I don't see how someone could listen to punk and not be aware of what they are... he obviously understands it on some level but you're building this up as though he was trying to make some kind of fascist statement by dressing like a skinhead, whereas I'm saying that he's not intelligent enough to have been making a statement of any kind. If you really want to keep freaking out and making a huge deal about this then have fun, but don't fucking accuse my friend of supporting nazis. - Thu, 1 May 2008 6:28pm Edited: Thu, 1 May 2008 6:29pm

I wouldn't really want to brand anyone who hung out with him as a 'nazi sympathizer,' and even though Cordell and I have wildly different opinions and politics I can still talk to him which I think says a lot about his character. Jeff, on the other hand, kicked me out of that show because I'm not moshcore and hates me (just kidding.) I understand why you're hanging out with the kid, he's your friend, there is no reason to alienate him. But defending his decision to rep white power? Come on. Don't encourage him, that's a baaaaad fucking road to go down.

And I still don't see the huge difference between saying something racist, and dressing in a manner that deliberately symbolizes you are a racist. - Thu, 1 May 2008 6:55pm

And regardless what anyone else thinks, im both completely irrational and stupid as fuck, so someone wearing a skrewdriver shirt is the same to me as someone walking around saying 'nigger' for reactions.

He's not my friend, I wasn't hanging out with him at any point during this show and I'm sure as hell not defending his decision to rep skinhead attire. I'm only getting into this because I think it's stupid that everyone immediately came out saying "let's kick his ass!" and I think it's stupid to say something like "Cordell, and Jeff, and whoever else was bro-ing down with him, you apparently are fine with white-power skinheads as long as they're not beating up black people in front of you". I also think it's pretty stupid that this has evolved into a 40+ post argument somehow... all Jeff is saying is that he's not worth minding this much, ironically.

I tend to think that actually doing bad things is much worse than talking about bad things. Isn't killing people in fits of hate and burning down amazing pieces of architecture generally considered more of a crime than talking positively about being racist? Maybe I'm in the minority about this, but it makes sense to me.
If this stupid young man had been wearing all that garb minus the Skrewdriver shirt, I'd be inclined to believe he actually believes whole heartedly in what he is representing. However, because of his age and what his friends have said about his character, it seems he is just in a confused stage of his life trying to find his identity. This deserves a serious talking to and maybe a show ejection. But all this after-the-fact, overreaction is silly and just what he was trying to achieve. He laughed at everyone who was bothered. That probably fires you all up even more. This all lends credibility to Skrewdriver's influence and effect, doesn't it?
You have to have racist feelings and leanings in you before you can be directed by a band to go and commit hate crimes. It's the same argument as Ozzy and Judas Priest causing suicides...that liking a band and wearing their shirt makes people do and believe things. Total bullshit. People need to take responsibility for their own actions.
A lot of people wear Turbonegro shirts and don the little sailor hats and have a handkerchief hanging out of their pocket at Turbonegro shows. They are fans of the band. Some may be gay and some may not. But I don't think Turbonegro's lyrics made the decision for them.
While I generally agree with most of the basic principles of your views, Scott, I find myself disagreeing with the way it is presented in that extreme, activist, knee-jerk fashion. The blanket labelling of people as (in this case) racists or possible racists because they are friends with a confused kid who came to a show to stir up controversy is a dangerous approach to conveying your beliefs.
I am also surprised to find myself debating with an anarchist who thinks that censoring people's attire and trying to control what people believe is the right thing to do. - Sat, 3 May 2008 2:54pm Edited: Sat, 3 May 2008 3:48pm

Everyone deals with racists in their daily lives. Co-workers, friends, family, bus drivers, politicians, Salvation Army volunteers.

Some people you would never suspect of it, and you value as a human being. Others come to a show wearing Skrewdriver shirts. Who the fuck cares?

I thought punk music was also designed to get people to start a revolution, get a lynch mob together to hang all the capitalist head honchos. You know, flyers and cd covers with Harper and Bush with crosshairs projected over their faces. Ofcourse, that's all cool.

But wearing a WP-outfit...UNACCEPTABLE!!1!11!!!1 Their music is designed to influence! OMG!!!

The saddest part is that the ratio of leftist punks to WP skinheads in this town is probably 15 to 1. But hey, you gotta fight the cancer when it's small.

So you ostracize and condemn them (in this case a kid who is trying to get a kick out of it). The nazis did that too, funny!! - Sat, 3 May 2008 3:41pm

I would also kick him out... As I see it, WP discriminates against non whites, so therefore it makes events alienating and unsafe for people who are not white, and straight. I seek to create inclusive safe spaces, so if kicking one idiot kid out of a show means the space is safe and more inviting for others then I will do that. I have a huge problem with people being excluded cause of their race, gender, sexual preference, social class or body type, however I have no problem with some one being excluded for being racist...
Also I know eric, he is a fucking moron, and I am surprised he has not gotten his teeth kicked in just for being lippy, never mind dressing like a nazi skin bonehead. I would not beat him up, but I think if you dress like a bonehead to cause reactions, and get beat up, then you got what you were trying to get. I am not saying it is right or wrong, just to expect it.
Just don't beat him up at an all ages show, it will likely bring the pigs, and other troubles to the shows... - Sat, 3 May 2008 4:18pm Edited: Sat, 3 May 2008 4:13pm

Not many chicks out there who would bang a guy wearing suspenders with rolled up jeans. So he's pretty much taken himself out of the gene pool on his own.

I don't know how to respond to anything in this thread. I bet half of you are trolls. Thanks to Dane for putting on the show, you rule. Camas books is probably the most important store in Victoria. That's all. - Sat, 3 May 2008 6:06pm

I just noticed the add at the bottom of this thread for Berlin sightseeing. In German.
Thought I'd just "troll" that in the conversation. Carry on. - Sat, 3 May 2008 6:37pm

That's kinda interesting, because I've noticed that the ads pick up on key words from the thread. In this case, the only way they could come up with Germany would be from focusing on the keyword "nazi". There is absolutely no other reference to Germany in this thread.

Edit: Yeah, that ad's playing hide and seek with me too. - Sat, 3 May 2008 6:41pm Edited: Sat, 3 May 2008 6:43pm
