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.
