If I'm being charitable I think most people in the modern US have a firm grasp on the meaning of a white hood, maybe even more so than the swastika. Ultimately, they're all symbols of violent hatred against others but the response to these symbols should at least partly be based on intention. Based on the video I think they're intentions are more misguided foolishness than hatred.

Maybe everyone should have to visit a place like Buchenwald for a dose of reality.
