Agree with the comments that this seems like a pretty juvenile attempt at tackling a huge issue.
Another point though about the Confederate flag as a symbol that was raised in the song. I can't believe it's taken like 50 years (and apparently according to this latest effort still longer) for white southerners to get it through their thick skulls that the Confederate flag represents nothing positive and you're a total d-bag for wearing merchandise with that flag on it. Wearing it around today but being apololigetic about it is like a German wearing around swastikas and saying 'I know we've done some bad things in the past and there's some blame to go around but, hey this is part of my heritage and I'm still a proud German!'
