Confederate Flag OK, Swastika is not, why the double standards?

Advertisements [?]

I am amazed at the media outrage at Prince Harry's despicable swastika attire but yet at the same time, some of these folks have been telling blacks in the south and other minorities to "get over it", "it just a flag", "It's just a symbol", "it's the pride of the south", when discussing the confederate flag. Why don't the same rule, "It's just a symbol", apply for the Swastika?

Prince Harry apologizes for Nazi costume but won't visit death camp
