Answer 1

First thing I think of is punk rock.

I guess I'm picturing no hair and a leather jacket. I don't know if that's what you guys still wear--I'm a child of the '80s.

Answer 2

Racist and bigot, I am not calling you that, I am just telling you what it was associated with when I was younger in the 80's. That name is negatively associated with those words, but I don't know you so I can't say that you are that type of person. The hairstyles today are short hair to nothing so today it may mean something else. At least I hope so. But you helped me reach Level 3. Thanks for the points.

Answer 3

I think of someone with a shaved head. They represent the working class people. Sadly, some racist idiots out there turn it into hate group give it a bad name and take away from its original meaning.

Answer 4

Ignorance

Answer 5

A bald-headed white dude

Answer 6

Without a visual, I would say ignorant racist, white supremacist.
But, of course if you are black, that obviously would not apply.

Answer 7

Someone with like friends(supporters)running in the opposite direction of what they think is the norm.

Answer 8

a racist neo nazi loser

of course looking at your myspace page I guess that's not the case with all skinheads.

Answer 9

I think of ska and punk rock. Most skins are decent folks while only a small minority are racist. Most (nonracist skins) are actually pretty nice people.

Answer 10

someone who is out to cause trouble, thats not the way i see it but for most of soceity thats what they think
