I'm A brit so know jack in a way on this but...I'm struggling to enjoy the show now 'cos of this. Is there a way that the confederate flag can be inferred as something other than ruthless, in the mainstream, or, perchance, East Bound and Down is totally unacceptable?

The nazi flag can also be inferred as something other than ruthless, in the mainstream, or, perchance, East Bound and Down is totally unacceptable.    The question is do those other somethings outweigh what they primarily symbolize.
