I will admit that until about 2 years ago I had absolutely no idea the flag was racist. I thought it was simply a southern symbol.

Some comment I saw online made me research it, which then made me aware of other symbolism it has.

So don't be so quick to assume racism in those who fly it.

Exactly. Just keep in mind when on this site that most people here didn't grow up in the region, they don't get it.

If it becomes well known that it is a racist symbol, the people who were unaware will abandon it. Then all that will be left is the racists.
