White Power as an ideology is conterminous with the skinhead subculture that developed in the United Kingdom in the first half of the 1980s. Typically racist, conservative, and anti-semitic, it emerged in a time when the United Kingdom was experiencing the second wave of Punk rock. Punk rock ideals were theoretically opposed to extreme commercialism, but as with any subculture that develops even a modest amount of popularity, it was exploited by the mainstream media. The left-wing created the image of the Punks as Leftist while the revival of the skinhead style ...

He was born in East London, and brought up in Dagenham, England. At the age of 15 he joined the National Front (NF), a far-right political party opposed to a multi-racial and multi-cultural England. He was closely involved in NF organisational activities, initially in its youth section, where he edited the paper Bulldog, and was also present to see the NF's involvement in anti-Catholic violence in Londonderry. As a young adult he spoke at NF rallies, and edited another NF publication Nationalism Today. In 1982 he was gaoled for 'incitement', for six months; and again, for a year, four years later, being rele ...

The song lyrics make pointed reference to Neil Young's songs Southern Man and Alabama which alleged racism and hypocrisy in the South's (and specifically Alabama's) treatment of black people. Well I heard Mr. Young sing about her I heard ol' Neil put her down I hope Neil Young will remember Southern Man don't need him around anyhow Despite the popular belief that there was feud between Young and Lynyrd Skynyrd, there is evidence that the relationship was one of ...

London in the early 1960s was experiencing a growing class separation between the working class - struggling, relegated to substandard housing, and increasingly neglected by their political representatives - and the middle class. Those youths who could afford it, invested in new fashions popularized by American soul groups, British RnB bands and certain movie actors, as well as Carnaby Street merchants (clothing). These were the Mods, a youth subculture noted for its consumerism and affection for style, music and scooters. Those of lesser me ...

Immediately after the Allies had liberated Austria in 1945, the anti-Nazi parties - Socialists (SPÖ), Conservatives (ÖVP) and Communists (KPÖ) - passed important measures to overcome the effects of Nazi rule. According to the law of May 8, 1945, the NSDAP was banned and Nazi activity forbidden, thus giving the Austrian Constitution a strong anti-Nazi character. Up to the present day the main instrume ...

Nazi iconography remains to this day heavily restricted in Germany. As German law forbids the production of Nazi devotionalia, such items come into the country mostly (illegally) from the USA and northern European countries. Rock bands such as Landser have been outlawed in Germany, yet bootleg copies of their albums printed in the US and other countries are still sold. Current Neo-Nazi websites mostly depend on hosting in the USA and Canada and use other terms for Nazi ideas and symbols. They also invent new symbols reminiscent of the swasti ...

In conjunction with the defence of the South, the song contains political references which have caused controversy, particularly this verse: In Birmingham they love the governor (boo hoo hoo) Now we all did what we could do Now Watergate does not bother me Does your conscience bother you?

In addition to the original appearance on Second Helping, the song has appeared on numerous Lynyrd Skynyrd collections and live albums. A few covers have appeared, notably a slowed-down rock version by Big Head Todd and the Monsters as well as more faithful versions by the Charlie Daniels Band and the country group Alabama. The song even spawned a 2004 hip hop version by Alabama-based rap group B.A.M.A. The Argentinian musicians Charly García and Andrés Calamaro made a version of this song with modified lyrics, called "Sw ...

Some Neo-Nazi groups espouse violence, and for this reason they are a source of concern to law enforcement. However, it is often surprisingly difficult to implicate Neo-Fascists in violence or illegality in any meaningful way. This is because these groups have adopted a proxy system whereby organizations which the Nazis intend to be financially, politically and socially successful are made to be extremely professional and respectable, whereas other, less important organizations and individuals are almost always the ones responsible for intim ...

The Dropkick Murphys, Rancid and other "street punk" bands have been subject to criticism from some sections of the punk scene for their avowedly "working class" allegiance and alleged glorification of violence. The song Tightrope, recorded by Chicago pop-punk band Screeching Weasel and released on the 1999 b-side compilation, Thank You Very Little, appeared to be directed specifically at the Dropkick Murphys and Rancid (Ben Weasel writes in the liner notes that the song is a "sarcastic, accusatory song aimed at the resurgence of toug ...

There are a number of different "types" of skinhead falling into three main categories suggested by common usage. Traditional (Trad), Trojan Skinheads (after the Trojan Records label), or Original Skins - Unlike the other categories, traditional skinheads do not regard attitudes toward racism as central to the subculture. Instead, they identify with the original skinhead movement ("The Spirit of 69") in music, style, culture and working class pride. SHARP (Skin ...
