Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice
SHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice) are anti-racist skinheads who often confront those they feel to be neo-nazis, racists, or possessed of other prejudices. Many SHARPs also claim to be anarchists and are often in favor of using violent tactics against those who they accuse of holding racist views.
SHARP was started in New York City in 1987. In 1989, Roddy Moreno of Welsh Oi! band The Oppressed visited New York, and met members. On his return to the UK, he started promoting SHARP ideals to British Skinheads. It then quickly spread to Germany and throughout Europe. Amongst others there are SHARP Skinheads as widely spread as France, Germany, the UK, the US, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Spain, Portugal and Australia.
