African Skinz - African skinheads (48 photos) Bashny.Net

«Lagos Calling» - this is truly one of the most powerful projects Kyubitta Clayton (Clayton Cubitt), in which the well-known American fashion-shows fashion photographer African skinhead early 70-xx.




Looking at these pictures, everyman often frowns, saying, «What a fuck? Is there may be black skins? ". This reaction is natural. It is the result of many years of public ignorance, blindness with respect to historical facts; propaganda, which resulted in a unidirectional media demonized the concept of "skinhead", making its value from a handful of different ranks of stereotypes. For the modern man in the street is no difference between trad, Bonehead, football hooligans and the Nazis. For the layman crumbs all called skins and means "bald racists in boots who adore scalp with students of the University of Friendship of Peoples and holidays Jewish blood smear statue of Adolf Hitler."

That's why when floats the phrase "traditional skinhead" inevitably have to explain that traditional skinheads were not racist because their subculture is a hybrid of two cultures - black Jamaican ore-boy and British hard mods. You should listen to your favorite music trads (ska, reggae, rocksteady, soul) to the racial question was dropped once and for all.

On cards Kyubitta we see variations of style «boots & braces» («boots and suspenders") with the typical "black" color.
