The crucified skinhead image is a longstanding symbol used by the entire skinhead subculture (i.e., both racist and non-racist or anti-racist skinheads). Skinheads often use it to convey a sense of persecution or alienation or that society is arrayed against them. In isolation, the crucified skinhead symbol itself cannot be described as a hate symbol. But racist skinheads often adorn their versions of the crucified skinhead with other hate symbols or, in many cases, replace the cross with some other symbol, most commonly a Tyr rune.
