Another major group of racists are referred to as Hammerskins, a name adopted by some skinheads in reference to a segment in the Pink Floyd movie The Wall . Although the movie is largely opposed to that viewpoint, young skinheads were emboldened by the image of strength and came to call themselves Hammerskins because the images in the movie had heads in the shapes of hammers. Although there are racist skinheads, not all skinheads are racists, and this is definitely not the basis behind being a skinhead. The unity within the skinhead culture mostly lies within the pride of the working class. Being a skinhead is about being working class and being proud of these two things.
Skinheads like to express their working class background by their tough, clean style of dress.
Skinheads want to work for everything they have because this is part of being working class. Race is not really supposed to be a dividing line within skinhead culture because being working class is the main aspect of skinhead culture, regardless of color. Political beliefs of skinheads may vary, but they are usually in support of the working class. Within society a common misconception is that all skinheads are racists, this could not be farther from the truth. Race was never a major issue addressed by the original skinhead culture.
