The rebel flag was the flag of the Confederate States of America. A lot of people are offended by rebel flags because they believe they symbolize racism. Quite the contrary. I like rebel flags, but I am not racist. The Civil War erupted over states' rights, not slavery. The South was mostly people in favor of states' rights, and the North was mostly people who wanted the national government to have more power over the states. Please, learn your history before you judge.
The rebel flag symbolizes states' rights.

the rebel flag, also known as the confederate flag, has nothing to do with racism. yes the klan, skin heads, and other white supremeness groups use the flag but they are the ones that gave the flag a bad name.
the flag was originally created to be the battle flag of the C.S.A. after they broke away from the union.
the war everyone knows about about, the civil war, was the main battle where the flag was flown.
the civil war was over alot more than just slavery. fact general lee didnt even own a slave but the northern generals did. fact the south freed their slaves before the north. fact the slaves that were freed joined the confederate army willingly and were proud to fight with us. fact the us flag had more slavery under it than the confederate flag. fact some black people fly the confederate flag too.
there is more to the confederate flag than just what is pro-trade.

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 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.
