Sure, you can interpret the flag however you choose. That has nothing to do with the perceived rise in white supremacy though. Confederate flags have long been flown in the south, and if anything, flying the lgbt flag next to it is new.

The Confederate battle flag meant "The Confederacy" for five years, and meant "Mississippi" for 126.
I'm not from around there, and it isn't my business to defend nor condemn it. I do think taking it as ipso facto evidence of white supremacy is a Yankee mistake.

That depends, perhaps, on whether one thinks Mississippi stood for white supremacy for several decades.
