Well, what makes you think the attitudes of racism and exclusion in the punk scene are any different from that of the rest of the world? The answer, of course, is that they aren’t. Or at least it is all born out of the same system. In the ’70s, the answer was perhaps easier to digest. That punk rock, born in part out of a need for white escape, just wasn’t prepared to consider a revolution that involved color, or involved women as anything that the scene deemed useful.
