The real danger is that one day people will simply stop caring and no longer support the system. That's what happened in the USSR. People simply said to hell with it. If people don't have a meaningful stake in the system then there's no reason for them to care about it. Trump is trying to make this a black/white issue because he's a KKK'er but it's really an issue that affects everyone. Once you start down the road of forced compliance you end up with a system like we had before, Jim Crow.
If I was in a situation where they played that racist song and I didn't stand and some nut physically attacked me for it I might go Old Testament on his behind, if not then certainly in the future. Does anyone really want to die for a racist song?
Imagine having to stand for I Wish I Was in Dixie Land. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5OKdbc0DYpM
