Sears says "There's a huge vacuum out there waiting to be filled. This generation of children has inherited a phony color blindness to begin with, not to mention a loss of basic white indif- ference to the whole pro- blem." The white pride message is reaching kids in upper middle-class homes. In England, where skinheads were born in the early 1970s, the movement still is compos- ed primarily of working-class youth. They direct most of their attacks against im- migrants. The phenomenon has spread to Holland, Belgium and France and Germany.. England is the biggest ex- porter of neo-Nazi heavy metal music from groups like Screwdriver, Oi Polloi, Chaos UK, White Pride, Agnostic Front and Forskins. In the Detroit area, such records are collectors' items among skinheads.. "Many record stores refuse to carry those bands' works anymore," said one Royal Oak store owner, who complained that hundreds of skinheads congregate in the city's downtown.

Says Doug Earp, owner of a record store in Flint that car- ries skinhead music, "The kids come in comparing who has watched the Geraldo Rivera program on cassette the most times. Some claim they have watched it 50 times!" "Without a doubt, Rivera's show (in which he suffered a broken nose) gave credibility to the skinheads," says jour- nalist Shriner. "They went on to that show recruiting members, and they are get- ting the new members they wanted. It strengthened their main line, which is, 'It's us against them." Eva Sears concurs. "We strongly urged both Rivera and Oprah Winfrey not to air programs on the skinheads because we view these enter- tainment news shows as ter- ribly counter-productive. What disturbs me now is that we are getting calls from smaller cities, even a village in upstate New York, where gangs of skinheads are first appearing. We have seen a 100-fold increase in skinhead incidents in the last year." Sears said she has received a number of calls from parents alarmed to find their children reading the The Pro- tocols of the Elders of Zion. "If it were my kid, I'd march him down to a Holocaust center to start. If it happen- ed in my school, I'd have every homeroom class designate a youngster to attend a council meeting with racism as its agenda, item number one," Sears says. Every child needs to be told in plain English ex- actly what's wrong with the phrase 'white pride.' " ""Had we won the Fort Smith case, it would have set the white supremacy move- ment back by 15 to 20 years," Shriner says. "I think we are starting all over again with the skinheads!' 1 •"'••"1 NEWS Soviets Open Jewish Center New York (JTA) — The opening of a Jewish cultural center in Moscow last Sunday . was preceded by a flurry of statements by Soviet officials, signifying the lifting of decades-old restrictions on the expression of Jewish culture and the granting of of- ficial legitimacy to a viable Jewish life in the Soviet Union. The center, the first in the Soviet Union since the days of Josef Stalin, was attended by delegates from around the world, including Soviet am- bassadors from the United States, Great Britain, Cana- da, France and Australia, as well as a group of Israeli diplomats. The Solomon Mikhoels center, most recently a movie theater near the center of Moscow, was addressed by Edgar Bronfman, president of the World Jewish Congress, and Nobel Peace laureate Elie Weisel. There was no form'al greeting from the Soviet government, although a member of the Foreign Ministry's humanitarian af- fairs department and a member of the Cultural Ministry did attend the open- ing ceremonies. Nevertheless, the last week saw again a change in how the Soviet Union is facing up to its past. Two Soviet historians denounced Soviet anti-Zionist campaigning of the last 20 years, comparing it with Nazi anti-Semitism. Sergei Rogov, a former diplomat at the Soviet Em- bassy in Washington, and Vladimir Nosenko wrote an attack on this official anti- Semitism, saying it helped -o
