All the symbols depicted in the hate symbols database must be evaluated in the context in which they appear. Few symbols represent just one idea or are used exclusively by one group. For example, 100% is often used as an amount or an expression and it is also used by some white supremacists as shorthand for "100% white." Similarly, other symbols in this database may be significant to people who are not extreme or racist. The descriptions here point out significant multiple meanings but may not be able to relay every possible meaning of a particular symbol.
The British white power music band Skrewdriver remains legendary among racist skinheads, neo-Nazis and other white supremacists. Although the band fell apart after the death of its leader, Ian Stuart (Donaldson), in 1993, decades later its logo is still the most common white power music symbol used by white supremacists, who display the symbol on tattoos, patches, pins, and clothing.
