Some don't see racism, or at least connotations of racism, where they probably should. I think the flag is a perfect example of this.
Conversely, others see it everywhere and are looking for it. I think a rope tied in a manner to perform an innocent job like pulling down a door, even if tied in the form of a noose, that has been in a garage full of white people for nearly a year and that Wallace stated last night "wasn't directed at me" is a perfect example of this. Context matters.
