Background/History |
This symbol is one of the older, more traditional skinhead symbols.
Both neo-Nazi and anti-racist skinheads use the symbol to symbolize
the plight of the working class. They also have used it as a threatening
message to one another. SHARPs (SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice)
have distributed literature containing the symbol in order to express
the difficulties they confront when they are confused with neo-Nazi
skinheads. In some cases, when used as a tattoo, it can also signify
that an individual has either served time in prison or committed
a murder.
