        Those "ignorant" includes the black folks making up nearly half the crowd in the photo, correct? @GlennHarrisRytr @USATODAY

        @MartiniShark seems unlikely that the black folks are flying the confederate flag

        They are certainly unbothered by the presence of the flags. @yamarualswan

        @MartiniShark @yamarualswan They've spent their lives standing next to garbage like that. Probably used to it.

        Right, so only half the crowd standing in the same spot is ignorant. Seems logical. @GlennHarrisRytr @yamarualswan

        @MartiniShark @yamarualswan Wow. You are really slow. The folks waving the racist flags are the ignorant ones. Standing is neutral.

        @USATODAY I notice there's quite a few African American people in this pic, holding the flag. Apparently they're racist too? #killwhitey
