Jesus people I promise you, not everybody who owns a rebel flag is racist. It represents the south to many |

The flag, to some, DOES mean pro-slavery. I'm not denying that there are those people in the south. There are some, though, to which the flag signifies a historical and ancestral connection and nothing more. It's not right to generalize an entire group of people just because of the flag they fly...or stick on the tailgates of their trucks...or tattoo on their shoulders. Personal belief as to the flag's meaning cannot be determined by the flag itself. It's a symbol, which, just like most symbols, can mean many different things. |

KKK is a scary group of people. No, it is not ok to own a human being just because they are a different color or from a different country. I do know however that the war was not based on slavery. |

Okay Paaahka, what does it mean to carry that flag? I think the picture probably illustrates what it means quite well. |

as an irish person i was led to belive the american civil war was about taxes and an economic chokehold on the south and its trade and that the abolition of slavery was just used as an overriding excuse to simplify the issue, not that it wasnt a valid one also...anyway the photo looks Russian to me... |

Anyone who denies that the conflict over slavery was a major cause of the American civil war is ignorant or delusional. |

the civil war was not about slavery. Lincoln only freed the slaves because he knew it would help the North win the war.the flag means something else to us. |

Michael, you are ignorant and misinformed on what it means to carry that flag. Also, I don't even think you know what it means to secede if you're using it like that in that sentence. |

Youngdz, there are a lot of different aspects to being a skinhead. There is even an anti-racist skinhead movement. But yeah, most of them are racist, and violently so. |

Wishing people who were proud of the Confederate flag would just go ahead and secede already. |

Who said that people who carry a Confederate flag are racist? Not every southern supporter supports slavery or white supremacy, you know! |

"Say What??? not all skinheads are racists??how you figure that one " You read the back story of something, rather than just accept the media interpretation, and then apply a bit of intelligence and common sense. |

Mykunter, they seem racist because they look like skinheads- the hair (or lack thereof), the shoes, the suspenders. And although not all skinheads are racist, they are often associated with racism. I think the flags have much less to do with it.Say What??? not all skinheads are racists?? how you figure that one |

I just wonder why they need suspenders when their shorts (and speedo?) look perfectly fit to me. |

What makes them racist? Just because they are white?
Granted, they do look a little stange; However, supporters of the flag view it as a symbol of heritage and the freedom of the distinct cultural tradition of the South from the oppression of Northern government. Southerners claim that they see the flag as merely a symbol of southern culture without any political or racial connotation.
Not that I really give a sh*t, I'm originally form the Midwest. I just don't think the flag is necessarily racist.
