I'm aware that Skrewdriver had that first good non-racist album... But as Shawn said, there's a lot of baggage with wearing that tee and it comes off as pretty disrespectful.
i was really bummed to see him wearing that shirt.  its still promoting a band that later became synonymous with racism, and that sucks.   the whole "but the first album is good" argument is bullshit.  Skrewdriver is most known for being nazi skin.  period.  if you wear the shirt, you are supporting that.

I'm aware that Skrewdriver had that first good non-racist album and I didn't say Grosso was racist. But as Shawn said, there's a lot of baggage with wearing that tee and it comes off as pretty disrespectful. I've always loved Grosso and I'm happy to see him getting the recent coverage and switch to Anti-Hero, but I got all excited to watch a video about inverts, saw that tee, and got bummed.

Totally agree and the same thing goes with wearing Burzum shirt. In both cases you should not be surprise if someone calls you out for being a racist or support racists, despite what your personal ideology might be.

Do i think Grosso is a racist? no. Do i still really like the guy and his skating? yes. Do I think it's kind of stupid and asking for trouble to wear a screwdriver shirt? absolutely.

I'm surprised someone at Vans (VFC) didn't see him wearing that t-shirt and vetoed it. Regardless of whether it was from a non-racist era, doesn't look good.

I knew he was mega religious, but never got that self-righteous vibe off him. That sucks if he's like that.

Who cares what others believe. Fuck um.

I don't get this, maybe I'm naive but you're all going on about a fucking band t-shirt, calling out Grosso for being a racist etc etc but no one bats an eyelid when anyone on this forum calls somone a Nigga.  That's just dumb.  I'm not defending his choice of attire but wearing a t-shirt with a 70's punk band on it isn't quite the same as being all dressed up in a KKK outfit and calling people Niggas.

Well then you are probably really young, you see there was a time when wearing a T Shirt was making a statement especially band Shirts.
Like if you were wearing a Yout of Today shirt at CBGBs while smoking a cigarette, you were asking fro trouble.

Can you not wear a band t-shirt for the sole reason that you like their ditties?  I think you might be reading too much into this but hey, if it made you feel bummed then thats a shame but you're entitled to that opinion.

Sure, it's just a shirt. So is this one.



But it's cool if you write "1931" on it with a magic marker. His economic policies were pretty solid then, before all that holocaust stuff.

When I was in high school I had an record catalog with the Dead Kennedy's Nazi Punks Fuck Off 7 inch in it. Some kid saw it and was like "Nazi Punks? You're a nazi?" People at my school were pretty regular.

Ok, lets get down to some facts and some opinion.  (people are going to hate me for this, but whatever)

1.  If you go to prison, and you're white, you link up with the 'BROTHERHOOD', as in aryan. - FACT

2.  I don't know if you guys are familiar with this, but Anti Hero dudes are know to 'not give a fuck' aka say stupid racist shit for giggles(not all mind you).  If you're in or around SF, you would know this.   - FACT

3.  You grow up in So-Cal, and you're white, it's not about being tolerant to other races around you. - (opinion) 

I personally like the first album that Agnostic Front put out 'Victim in Pain'  This band became know for it's high skinhead turnout at concerts, but the band vehemently denied any affiliation with the racist portion of that movement.   Nor did they make racist lyrics(though maybe their later albums pandered to that crowd).  Listening to and wearing a shirt of a band that is overtly racist is making a statement.  Maybe it's that 'I don't give a fuck' punk attitude?  I'm 100% sure that grosso knows what wearing that shirt means, and he just doesn't 'give a fuck' what any of us thinks.  Politics is a very important issue for me, and I for one cannot support anything related to that.  Same with Jason Jesse.  I used to be so hyped on him till I saw that documentary.  Him and his homies are just simple ol' racist white dudes that , 'don't give a fuck'.  Grosso can wear what he wants, but it's also my right to not like it and not support dudes like that.

Late Skrewdriver is an easy push button. Grosso pushed it and y'all are outraged.

But what about Clapton, David Bowie, Morrissey, Jedi Mind Tricks or rampant homophobia in dancehall?

You judge Burzum by Varg's later prison odinist-norge-racism, but would you wear a t-shirt depicting a young James Brown? Ridiculous myth-based anti-immigrant Racism is worse than repeated actual violence against women?

I love early Stones but don't want to see Mick and Keith in concert in 2011. Under My Thumb may have hateful lyrics if you take them seriously, but it's a better song than anyone reading this will ever write; and how do you square it up against Jagger's probable bisexuality?
VU was great on record in '66-70, but Lou Reed is a total jerk at the dinner table in 2011. Neil loves Reagan and biodiesel. Dylan was a born again for a while, Hetfield is stuck in late-90s Orange County rockabilly car culture and the Five Percent Nation is total bullshit.

I have a feeling you guys have never (attempted to) have a conversation with a musician.

With all due respect to his seniority and tweaked inverts, I don't get it. This dude was already audi when I started skating in '91, and he's coming back for coverage now? Of course he planned to wear that attention-grabbing shirt for his big interview. And now there's a thread here, so obviously the strategy was a success.

even Ian Mackaye admitted to liking that first Skrewdriver album. It's good. Once they went down the white pride route, they bit the dick.

Did you even watch the entire documentary?  Yes in his younger years Jason Jesse into that racist shit.  Grosso even said it himself.  He (JJ) thought it was funny.  Then he got served by a black skater.  Then Grosso said the whole racist thing petered out after that.  Jason Jesse aint a racist anymore.  If he was I doubt he'd be joining that Mexican car club the Dukes.

Nah sorry you got me wrong, it is especially in the Hardcore , Punk and Metal Scenes that you usually are associated with the the values of the bands  whose shirt you are wearing, that's why everybody is a little touchy on those subjects, especially europeans...

Dinosour jr. never had a really open political agenda so their shirts mean nothin exept " i like this band" now if you wear a screwdiver shirt, naturally there will be questions ( even though Grosso is not a Racist)

I personally like the first album that Agnostic Front put out 'Victim in Pain'  This band became know for it's high skinhead turnout at concerts, but the band vehemently denied any affiliation with the racist portion of that movement.   Nor did they make racist lyrics(though maybe their later albums pandered to that crowd).  Listening to and wearing a shirt of a band that is overtly racist is making a statement.  Maybe it's that 'I don't give a fuck' punk attitude?  I'm 100% sure that grosso knows what wearing that shirt means, and he just doesn't 'give a fuck' what any of us thinks.  Politics is a very important issue for me, and I for one cannot support anything related to that.  Same with Jason Jesse.  I used to be so hyped on him till I saw that documentary.  Him and his homies are just simple ol' racist white dudes that , 'don't give a fuck'.  Grosso can wear what he wants, but it's also my right to not like it and not support dudes like that.

Did you even watch the entire documentary?  Yes in his younger years Jason Jesse into that racist shit.  Grosso even said it himself.  He (JJ) thought it was funny.  Then he got served by a black skater.  Then Grosso said the whole racist thing petered out after that.  Jason Jesse aint a racist anymore.  If he was I doubt he'd be joining that Mexican car club the Dukes.
In the documentary, he didn't say he wasn't racist anymore, just stopped wearing the nazi gear.  Just because he hangs with Mexican dudes doesn't mean he's instantly tolerant towards every group of people.  He has a deep seeded hatred within him that I doubt went away.   What corn-fed fantasy world are you from where people can do complete 180's(besides on a skateboard) as far as their deep rooted beliefs? 

It's not like Grosso did a Hosoi while in prison.  It's not a big deal either way to me, just doesn't get me pumped to see any of his footage.  I'd rather see dudes like Snuggle Bandit get back down with Anti.

it's like wearing a  t-shirt with a picture of hitler on it, and saying that the picture is from the non-racist area............
