SHARP (Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice) are anti-racist skinheads who oppose neo-Nazis and other political racists, particularly if those racists identify themselves as skinheads. SHARPs recognize the biracial origins of the skinhead subculture, and resent what they see as the hijacking of the skinhead name by racist extremists. Beyond the issue of anti-racism, there is no official political ideology of SHARP. However, some SHARPs have similar beliefs to politically-minded anti-fascist skinheads such as redskins and anarchists. Due to their anti-racist ideals, some SHARPs have been involved with groups such as Anti-Fascist Action or Anti-Racist Action. However, this is more based on personal beliefs, instead of directly associated with SHARP. In the 2000s, SHARP has become more of an individual designation than an official organization.SHARP was started in New York City in 1987 by Marcus Pacheco as a way to show that the skinhead subculture is not based on racism and political extremism. André Schlesinger (and his Oi! band The Press) and Jason O'Toole (vocalist of the hardcore punk group Life's Blood) were among SHARP's early supporters. According to a 2005 report by the Southern Poverty Law Center, SHARP groups were essentially defunct in the United States in that year (although the SPLC does not explain how it came to that conclusion). In 1989, Roddy Moreno of the Welsh Oi! band The Oppressed visited New York City and met many SHARP members. On his return to the United Kingdom, he started promoting SHARP ideals to British skinheads. SHARP then appeared in Germany, throughout Europe and in other continents. In the UK and other European countries, the SHARP attitude was more based on the individual than on organized groups.RASH (Red and Anarchist Skinheads) is a left-wing anti-racist, anti-fascist skinhead group. RASH includes redskins and anarchist skinheads. It was officially launched on January 1, 1993 by members of the Mayday Crew, a left-wing skinhead and punk group based in the New York City area. According to one RASH website, some of the goals of the network were to:"To dispel the myth, in both the media and in mind of the general public, that all skinheads are racist. To keep alive and expand the true skinhead subculture through means such as music (Oi!, Ska, Reggae, Soul, Hardcore, Street Punk, etc.), fashion, fanzines, fliers, concerts, dancehalls, and gatherings. To create a space for left-wing ideas to exist in the skinhead scene. To combat, physically and politically, the existence of far-Right ideas in the skinhead scene. To win back the good name of our subculture from the boneheads and racists. Boycott those who sell fascist materials. Physical solidarity with the victims of Nazi attacks: immigrants, gays and lesbians, anti-fascist militants, etc. To articulate the connection between the young, working-class, multi-racial skinhead subculture and left-wing ideas. To articulate the connection between the young, working-class, multi-racial skinhead subculture and left-wing ideas. To organize for the physical self-defense of ourselves and our communities from attack by all those who declare themselves our enemies. To participate as an active, organized force of antiracist skinheads in the radical Left and anti-fascist movements. To make sure our vision of the anti-fascist radical Left (working-class, multi-racial, street based and militant) continues to exist. To maintain autonomy from any particular party or organization. Self-development of methods for funding RASH. Cooperation with other anti-authoritarian, anti-fascist organizations. Organizing ourselves into militant, direct action, democratically run labor unions."
