Homer Simpson
one of the most famous cartoon characters of all time dressed up like a skinhead, donning the classic fred perry shirt aswell as the cross tattoo and skinhead written on his forehead....
are this images mocking the thuggish skinhead culture or are they promoting them by filling youths with images of this type of culture?

ED NORTON
this is a still taken form the film American History X.
therefore this is a american take on what a skinhead would look like, the swastika on the chest, right above where the heqart would be symbolises that nazi beliefs are in his heart... ths barbed wire around the arms depicts that he is tough and can take pain, these are all signs that usual skinheads have......
the most important part of this image is the actual skinhead itself
