The Confederate battle flag, called the Southern Cross or the cross of St. Andrew, has been popularly associated with the shameful reminder of slavery and segregation.
The Confederate battle flag has also been appropriated by the Ku Klux Klan and other racist hate groups. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, more than 500 extremist groups use the Southern Cross as one of their symbols.
On the other hand others see the flag as a symbol of Dixie pride and a proud emblem of Southern heritage, with many southern states including M.I and G.A incorporating the design in their state flags.
Personally I don't agree with the flag. While I agree that for some people it might just represent southern pride, but I'm still not moved. Ignorance is not really bliss.
It's like if people walked around with swastika's. If you actually read into the history of the swastika it was used as a symbol of good luck, good will, and prosperity to many Eastern religions far before it was used as an emblem by the Nazi party. Still you can't walk around with a swastika claiming that you intending it to mean something good.
How do you feel about the Confederate flag?
