These people are worried about some skinhead takeover?
It's not like the average black person in America, or someone
in Thailand or Tibet, is really threatened by skinheads. What they're
threatened by is a global corporate monoculture that's really going
to divest them of power and destroy their culture. Not to sound like
some progressive type or anything, but I actually do support the idea
of a diversity of human groups surviving on earth. Different cultural
traditions make the world interesting. In the United States, you have
homogenous consumerism. Everyone buys the same clothes at the mall no
matter what their heritage is. That's a far more immediate threat to
racial justice or identity than anything emanating from neo-Nazis.
