It’s an anti racism t-shirt / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
I wanted 1942 to serve as an experiment, questioning what stereotype if any surrounded the ‘skinhead.’ Within days I received comments of ‘racist’ and ‘Nazi’ signifying prejudice against a shaven head, when in modern day society diversity is usually praised and encouraged. The origin of the term ‘skinhead’ is not rooted in racism, the term being corrupted in the 1970’s by the neo-nazi movement. The term actually stems from the Jamaican skinheads such as Bunny Wailer, who populated Reggae in the1960’s, some decade previous. By 1968/69, the ‘skinhead’ wasn’t just a hairstyle but a way of life. To these working class people, cleanliness, stylish clothes and good music were dominant. The increasing popularity of Ska music, a branch of reggae bred the skinhead in their straight jeans, large boots, white shirts, braces and nylon or leather jackets and were regularly seen at Judge Dread gigs. Doc Marten, Ben Sherman, and Vespa scooters were typical designers of the ‘skinhead’ movement, which dwindled in the mid 70’s. This is around the time the neo-nazi movement became prominent, as the ‘mod generation’ became divided and those racist, political hating, violent youths were the new face, the new stereotype. They popularised themselves throughout the 80’s and 90’s with bands such as ‘Skrewdriver’ and were akin to increased violence on Adolf Hitler’s birthday. The number of ‘skinheads’ in Britain today is in decline, as in essence the skinhead is a youth organisation for the youth. Thus upon reaching full maturity, starting a family and encompassing different values the need to be in such a group no longer exists and without the experience and knowledge of older members their ‘skinhead’ values are degenerate. This is why I felt my experiment was necessary. Would the youth of day, born after the domination of the neo-nazi still be aware of their values and the attributes, which contribute to their stereotype? The answer lies within you the spectator. Consider what you first felt upon viewing 1942. Did it bring back fond memories of dancing to reggae, Bob Marley and the ‘Chelsea haircut’ or did it make you envisage violent racists? Movements begin, grow and they pass. The real reason the ‘Mods’ shaved their head was to avoid lice, for hygiene. Surely the time close cut hair symbolising a racist has passed. This was a series i took a while back for a project i was doing on fashion and surrealism I must have took around 30 or so photographs to get the best images at different stages. / to take these shots i used a canon 20d propped up on a tripod with a self timer.

Limbo up Limbaugh down do the hokie pokie and Rush is all around the conservative landscape with carpe diem not a dead fish or even rug knee burns on a raggedy carpet but the big bag of wind bloatvating hate out of his puckered orifice…Rush Limbaugh talk show entertainer. Not one man jackbooted Republican has the stones to blow back at the mouthpiece and head of the Republican Party all of them sporting a Limbaughtomy yammering stammering and chugging down the extra special Rush Limbaughtomy trickledown cool cool Kool Aid his RepubliKlan butt boys kissing his tooty fruity and sucking up and sucking on Rush Limbaugh’s manifesto of “I hope Barack Obama fails” and of course that means every American who ain’t a suck up suck on Rush Limbaugh RepubliKlan. Some say ignore Rush Limbaugh why he is the biggest white elephant in the Republican room…like Hitler and Mussolini you can’t ignore fascist unless you are a Republican-RepubliKlan fascists and then rally round Rush Limbaugh like ditto dittoheads with a Limbaughtomy. The RepubliKlan Party that hangs together in the Confederated States of Amerika is rallying the Klan to tear down America lead by Rush Limbaugh.
Miracles of miracles 2000 to 2008 it never happened…poof…President King George W. Debacle Bush and his gang of water boarding torturers it was just a nightmare it never happened. The Iraqi War it never happened…Katrina it never happened…Republicans spending more money than any previous administrations and creating a huge government it never happened…The Wall Street Bailout it never happened…ask any Republican 2000 to 2008 it never happened. The Republican Party shrinking down to a sorry befuddle leaderless aimless none relevant Party of No is what they have become and that is a tragedy of denial. Until they repudiate the Rush Limbaugh’s and his ilk and deny the likes of Sarah Palin they will continue to become irrelevant…continuing to becoming Rushpublicans with Limbaughtomies and thrashing around like Republicansoreasses and that is the Party of Stooopid. Who knows just maybe they will come to their senses so far they are acting like monkey clowns grooming the scabs off their Republicansoreasses. Will they ever come to their senses and be Americans again? And does the world know that 2000 to 2008 never happened?
Boss Hog Limbaugh and his herd of teabag sucking right wing nut-job wing-nuts oinkers just keep rolling around Boss Hogs sloppy seconds of bloviating demagogue hateful chunky farting farts out from both ends of his orifices…a meaner RepubliKlan…you betcha Rushpublicans the Party of Stooopid…pulling for Sarah Palin fawning over Michelle Bachmann and checking out Michelle Malkin’s pajamas little boys will be boys…rallying around the shrinking hemorrhoidal orifice of Rush Limbaugh like monkey clowns grooming the old blowhole…Rushpublicans ditto Dittoheads stamped on their tinfoil hats perched on top of their Limbaughtomized heads…no brains required just hate.
“Jesus Saves” you have heard it or read it a million times and it is now a cliché. And no doubt you have read or heard “Jesus Saves ‘fill in the name’ and saves on the rebound” well I have to tell you no one in politics today has saved the day or scored more points than President Barack Obama in such a short time in office. The hate and spite and envy from the political right are nonstop 24-7 mindless diatribes of division. Man they have called him the “messiah” and “rock star” a “socialist” “communist” and a “fascist” and of course in code a “Nigger” who has failed not good enough to be President of the United States and OMG he reads from a teleprompter and puts Dijon mustard on his hamburger…what an effete socialist bourgeoisie elitist President Barack Obama is who single handily is turning America into France which will destroy the Republican concept of America and horror of horrors might even get an affordable and fair health care system Sacrebleu!!!!! …Forget that 2000 to 2008 ever happened or the current wreck and ruin is, dare I say it, a major contribution from the very ignorant Republicansoarass pulling out of their asses the vitriolic bile they call patriotism shaped like the excrement of the GOP…the “Grand Obstructionist Party” of the walking dead misogynist white men who as we speak are doing a makeover which looks exactly like the same “walking dead misogynist white men” dressed in the hoodies of the Rushpublican Party…all I have to say is “Jesus Saves Barack Obama scores on the rebound” this one is for the evangelical right wing nut jobs who believe in God and Jesus and attend Sunday go to meeting services and thoughtless say “praise the Lord”…these folks are doomed just like the Pharisees and their fellow brethren in the crowd (huh? just a metaphor)…and one of your fellow Christians is under attack by “some very evil dark forces” (this is in evangelical code speak) where is your Christianity love and compassion. Hey…you want to…you know support Barack Obama “Jesus Saves” is a nice “how do you do” ice breaker…ha ha come on folks President Barack Obama is just too cool for the right wing nut-job faux Christians or NeoCons he is driving them crazy and with and by the grace of God those rat bastards and like lemmings will jump over the cliff into extinction (just a description evil never really dies it gets recycled)…and I say praise the Lord big time…only lemmings call themselves Republicans today (most Republicans want to forget they ever were Republicans some are waiting for Saint Ronnie to appear on their 401 K’s). / Jesus is not a cliché some Christians and Christian leaders have turned Jesus into a cliché…keep Church and State separate or remove the tax exemption and let the Churches take their chances in the political and public arena like any other political party or business. God’s things to God and Caesars things to Caesar hey it is in the Bible…look it up.

Tune into to Fox News they know it is true!!!!

If anyone has ever heard “Amazing Grace” and has not been stirred by its words and meaning…that person has no soul in the literal sense and its figurative sense…of soul. Check out the origin of “Amazing Grace” it will knock you over and out…it really will…the time it was written and the events of the times and why it was written and why it needs to be sung…again and again…it stirs the soul and heart for what is the basic right and purpose of all who have lived and are living now and those yet to set foot on this place we all occupy for a such a short time…a lost and found thing…of meaning. “Noblesse Oblige” is a concept you will be amazed at what it really means…and why it is so important whether you are rich or poor or noble in the heart…we can all learn to practice it…and it is a learning process…noblesse oblige amazing grace…i citizen…one planet…one people…one voice…amazing grace noblesse oblige. I bow…Namaste.

The clause Beck thinks has something to do with “A price tag on coming to this country” was in fact a clause that made it illegal to ban the importation of slaves, until at least 1808, but it gave Congress the right to tax a slave owner ten bucks for each new slave he brought in.”

I’m doing a series on gangs. This is my first one “THE KKK – aka – THE KLAN” / Being that I’m from the south, I experience the hate from many that wield the Confederate flag. Many groups that are in association and are similar to this group. / -Volksfront / -Neo Nazis / -Skinheads / -HammerSkin / -and many others Belief – the white race is above all races, white supremacy My poem – The Human Race Ku Klux Klan (KKK), informally known as The Klan, is the name of several past and present hate group organizations in the United States whose avowed purpose was to protect the rights of and further the interests of white Americans by violence and intimidation. The first such organizations originated in the Southern states and eventually grew to national scope. They developed iconic white costumes consisting of robes, masks, and conical hats. The KKK has a record of using terrorism,[2] violence, and lynching to murder and oppress African Americans, Jews and other minorities and to intimidate and oppose Roman Catholics and labor unions. The first Klan was founded in 1865 by Tennessee veterans of the Confederate Army. Groups spread throughout the South. Its purpose was to restore white supremacy in the aftermath of the American Civil War. The Klan resisted Reconstruction by assaulting, murdering and intimidating freedmen and white Republicans. In 1870 and 1871 the federal government passed the Force Acts, which were used to prosecute Klan crimes. Some of the larger KKK organizations in operation include: Bayou Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, prevalent in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana and other areas of the Southeastern U.S. / Church of the American Knights of the Ku Klux Klan / Imperial Klans of America / Knights of the White Kamelia / Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, headed by national director and self-claimed pastor Thom Robb, and based in Zinc, Arkansas. It claims to be the biggest Klan organization in America today. Spokesmen refer to it as a “sixth era Klan”, and it continues to be a racist group. -Graphite, Charcoal, Prismacolor pencils & Photo editing applying a texture from Cameron Gray
