Skinheads Against Racial Prejudice (SHARP) are anti-racist skinheads who oppose neo-Nazis and other political racists, particularly if those racists identify themselves as skinheads.
SHARPs recognise the biracial origins of the skinhead subculture, and resent what they see as the hijacking of the skinhead name by white power skinheads - who are consequently designated as "boneheads" by some SHARPs. The SHARP logo is based on the logo of Trojan Records, which originally mainly released black Jamaican ska, rocksteady and reggae artists. Beyond the issue of anti-racism, there is no official political ideology of SHARP.
