The hypocrisy of Flag Nationalists

Very often when something bad happens in the world and people are posting the flags of those countries in solidarity with the victims , there are pockets of individuals who often post something like, why not stand with those in Africa? Or some other country they think deserve attention.
My take on this is as written about before, nobody cares about a group of people who don't care about themselves.
Secondly, if those people really care why not post those flags as  model examples of what they are trying to say? This act would have made it easy for many to follow suit.
Finally, when someone actually post these flags, many of these hypocrites end up not endorsing in any manner shape or form.
I find it difficult to say that because I come from one part of the world , I should not pray for those who come from another..
Racism will not be defeated by reverse racism. You either model what is right until you win or else risk perpetuating the status quo.
I was born and raised in Nigeria but made Britain my home. I care about both as I care about the rest of the world. One does not have to be to the exclusion of the other.
