Skinheads And The World Of Tomorrow

Pronunciation: 'skin-"hed

Function:

noun 1 : a person whose hair is cut very short 2 : a usually white male belonging to any of various sometimes violent youth gangs whose members have close-shaven hair and often espouse white-supremacist beliefs

~excerpted from Merriam-Webster Online.


Today there is a small report in the local dailies stating the existence of skinheads in Malaysia- an orthodox, I do not intend to further investigate or understand. The aforementioned definition of skinhead(s) reinforces my case and question- How can Malaysians (non-white people, oftenly labeled multi-coloured) espouse white-supremacist beliefs? This shows us how stupid some Malaysian youths can be. The age of "copy-and-paste" everything from the West directly into our culture is damning. For sure, they have not encountered real skinheads before openly accepting and practising such ridiculous ideas. And we thought there is still hope in this world. Even the fooled act like fools. Where is hope?

I have not seen much of the world, but seeing two sides, can already make me give up, and realise that the world is darker than one wants to think. Skinheads or not, the world is going to grow darker if we refuse to brigthen it.
