S.H.A.R.P (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice) are, as the name implies, Anti-Racist Skinheads. SHARP seems to have changed a bit over the years from when it first started out. SHARP was ment to show the world that not all skinheads were racist. That was as far as the politics in it went. There were (and most likely still are) anti-communist, gay bashing SHARPS. Today many younger Skinheads claiming to be SHARP tend to be leaning a little more to the left than their older counter parts. I have met communist SHARPs, gay SHARPs, and SHARPs that seem to think that you can only be a skinhead if you are strongly Anti-Racist, otherwise you are considered to be a fence sitter. This is mostly among the younger SHARPs who take left wing anti-racist politics BEFORE being a skinhead.

I will be adding more about SHARP as time goes on. SHARP deserves more than just that little blurb above. (Just a note to the people who can not read between the lines, I am not anti-sharp, it seems to be trendy to sharp bash today. What I am against is people who take a good idea and make it into something totally different than what it was originally ment to be.)
