They don't have half their country driving around with swastikas painted on their pickup trucks, so they would certainly seem to be doing better than we are...

Your comment implies that half the people in the US fly that flag and that everyone who flies the flag is a racist and that the fact that so many people fly it hasn't made it lose much of its meaning.

Your comment makes a lot of assumptions and appears to me to be painting half the country (probably the south) as racists. This is a bigoted narrow minded attitude.

Even Kanye West has a line of clothing with the confederate flag, do you think he's part of the KKK?

Neither does the US...
