The rebel flag is a flag to represent the south. It does not stand for hate nor racism and anybody who thinks it does is an ignorant jackass just looking for something to argue about. The rebel flag is heritage NOT HATE!!
Did you hear about the rebel flag being banned?
Ya that's the stupidest thing I ever heard.What is America coming to?

Someone waving the rebel flag is proud of their southern heritage and everything that comes with it. Such as slavery, hatred of the united states(or the north to be more specific), belief that the only way to be successful in life is to grow and sell tobacco and/or cotton. If you find yourself reading this and are currently waving the flag, but do not believe yourself to be a supporter of any of the facts mentioned above, take down that flag!
"Hey Billy, is that your dad?"
"No way that's just Leroy, our slave. My dad is obsessed with the civil war and always is waving around that rebel flag. He thought it would be a good idea to get a slave too. Go figure."

A rag often seen displayed by members of the lower class. Symbolizes the frustration of losers who cannot succeed or thrive in civilized society. Most often displayed by those with little real power or influence. Wavers of this flag usually know that they occupy a low station in life and use the flag as a means of expressing their frustration. The love of this flag is often passed down from generation to generation of losers. Sometimes the rebel flag is displayed with the American Flag further demonstrating the lack of basic knowledge of US History. If you see a rebel flag carefully observer the displayer and note the pathetic nature of the flag waver. Often these ignorant rednecks travel in packs. Most sightings of the rebel flag will be at NASCAR races, stuck to the windows of trucks parked in front of the unemployment office or temporary work agency, or Baptist Church parking lots in Georgia and South Carolina. Never will you see this flag displayed by a southerner around groups of blacks as most rednecks are cowards.

The Confederate states of America's Version of the Saint Andrews cross. Also seen in the national flag of Scottland and England. Although often thought to be a racist symbol, a deeper look into the origins of it will prove other wise. Seen as a sign of pride for one herritage and location. The CSA were knows as rebels during this period, hince the "Rebel Flag"
Do some damn research before you call something racist. Less then 1% of White southerners use the REBEL FLAG as a symbol of racism. So calling it racist would be like saying all that since blacks are the majority in jails, this means they commit more crimes then others.

The rebel flag is a proud flag. And does not mean the same for every one. If you must think of it as raceism then go ahead, you have the right to your opion. But dont think for a minute that the civil war was fought over slavery, it wasn't. It was fought over government, the government of states that did not want to be governed. The REBEL FLAG is red and white, not black and white, so lets leave race out of it.

A flag that ISN'T racist, contrary to what Blacks and liberals will tell you. It is a symbol of pride and heritage to Southerners, while also being a symbol of rebellion and pillaging invaders to millions of people like me in the Midwest and even in the South. Controversies and conflicts over this flag are no doubt the strongest within the Deep South involving the black community.
Here in the southern Midwest, however, it is seen differently. Yes, thousands of people still see it as a symbol of racism, BUT it also represents the Southern Confederate armies and raiders that invaded northwestern/north-central Kentucky throughout the Civil War. They were the ones to break the neutrality of the border state Kentucky and tread upon its soil. They launched attacks on towns and Union garrisons, while the raiders pillaged towns and stores, burned courthouses, abused several citizens during their 4-year reign of terror. Only the efforts and counter-marching of Union forces in the Western Theater, and the determination of Kentucky Home Guards to defend their state against the Southern bastards were what stopped these raiders and armies.

I DO NOT see the Rebel Flag as a symbol of racism. As a native of northwestern Kentucky, I see it rather as a symbol of those Southern invaders that attacked my home and its people, tried to destroy the United States, and bring Kentucky into a Southern Confederacy of which it did not belong in. Fortunately, the efforts of the Rebels were stopped.
