Words of a traitor and a lier. Those 30 pieces of silver worth your soul?

[Tiger_Woods]

if you hate me because I’m black that’s your problem not mines .

[VeganJustToAnnoyYou]

it's called bonehead. a skinhead is never nazi!

[andrewknight]

Those are not skinheads, those are boneheads, huge difference between them two

[danifranc]

So she wws SA by 2 wytemen and decided to hate blacks? That makes sense

[TheProrage]

I went from a skin head to a feminist booo hooo cry me a river

[Erebus..]

We get it. She lost faith, and is turning on her own people.

[外人癡]

Neo Nazi skinhead? Skinheads aren't racist. Neo Nazis are racist, so obviously neo-Nazi skinhead makes no absolute sense. Skinhead aren't racist and racist aren't skinheads. I am glad she is not racist anymore though that's good.

[dmaccus]

this is total bs she was one of those 80s punk people playing with skinhead culture

[r.ouellette]

Can't skinhead if you don't know reggae.

"Addiction is a very good parallel...Depending on how long you were involved, it can be an ongoing, life-long process, to disengage completely."

—Shannon Martinez, former neo-Nazi skinhead.

Good on her for making more white people.

[gwfhegel]

Skinhead were anarchists anti-racism hippies. wtf happened? Last time I remember The Specials had 2 black men in their band and they made skinheads.

[yodamatino]

[JimStanfield-zopz]

They sure do like to replicate. Theyre kind of like rodents.

[ashleymaude]

[chapulinski]

Last name is Martinez, so is she hispanic?

[TheShape.]

I would say race traitor but your last name is MARTINEZ!

[fizmath]

she still won't live in a black hood.

[TheCdleon]

Is it just hating blacks and Jews? I’m pretty sure they had to LET you in despite your probable heritage Ms Martinez 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️. Really glad she figured it out though, God Bless her
