Just an honest question. Is this group tolerant of users with overtly racist/white power user names?

I'm in the UK, and a little old lol.

Skinheads came from Jamaica, and went hand in hand with the Ska scene in the 60-70s, it was literally a black thing originally.

Round that time there was an effort to recruit workers from the British Caribbean to work in the UK, a lot of young, single men brought the ska scene with them to the UK.

By the early eighties, the ska revival, and punk rock being popular with the white British community, fairly political, anarchist and defiantly far left wing, the ska and punk scenes merged, with the two tone label, it was all about black and white together, and you started to see white skinheads.

Purist skinheads would be preaching anti racism, coming from the ska scene, but the Neo Nazis took it and twisted it.

There is a whole skinhead uniform identifier, cant remember much of it, but things like colour of boot laces, jacket etc, to identify between far left or right, back in the eighties UK, black jackets would be the Nazis, red or green jackets for the lefties, cant remember the boot lace thing haha.
