Al Sharpley or Malcolm X... Whoa! I'm the one who first posted the difference between the two types of skinheads! But the discussion to which I was replying centered on the National Socialist skinheads, so I didn't see a need to repeat the distinction. If that was an inaccurate perception, I apologize. Be that as it may, let them have their group. Jeff BTW, considering his rejection of anti-Caucasian racism toward the end of his life, it is a great injustice to lump Malcolm X with the Rev. Sharpley. -- If a hungry man has water, and a thirsty man has bread, Then if they trade, be not dismayed, they both come out ahead. -- Don Paarlberg
