This is a tremendously written interpretation, zigbot.
As you pointed out earlier, Bowie talks about the "black kids" who "are blind" and the implication that no one cares.
Now I am thinking that the 'fellows with no heads' are the people that have no 'race' or no 'opinion' about anything.
The people with no race and no opinion are the new wave of pseudo politically correct. They subscribe to the view that race does not exist and that everyone is the 'same' on all levels. These people cut off their own heads and everyone's elses heads to stay 'above' all race issues and take a moral high ground. But in doing so, they are often as guilty as the next person (or perhaps more so) when it comes to real race issues and what they are prepared to do about it.
This desire for 'sameness' by the 'fellows with no heads' is similar to how Andy's skull ends up in shopping malls because no one any longer appreciates the 'difference' and the art that made the difference.
