These kids haven't progressed at all, but are they representative of American en-masse in terms of where we are in 2015 versus 1955? I don't think so.
in 1955 there would be absolutely no consequences to their actions.
There will *always* be racism, and there will always be people like this keeping the regressive legacy of Jim Crow and the "South Will Rise Again" alive - but they are a dying breed and dwindling in numbers - and I think the national response to them is starting to tell the story that this won't be tolerated. It should be a warning notice that if you think like this: *we* (the successors of baby-boom governance and the conquerors of Jim Crow) are coming for you.
