Throughout history symbols take on a completely different meaning when acquired by a different group.
Just playing devil's advocate but couldn't "groups" in the present use this argument when claiming they are just using the flag as a symbol of southern heritage?

True, but some symbols get "locked" into one meaning. The swastika was used extensively as a sign of good luck until Adolph started using it.

My bad. 
I assume most folks here are white unless it's obvious otherwise.

Kentucky never seceded and wasn't a part of the CSA.
Actually, it was. Sort of. But it was also part of the Union. Kentucky had two governments and two capitals during the war.

Why? He embraces that shite. He married a white woman, loves NASCAR, and hates Obama.

How on earth can you fly that flag and have it NOT be racially charged?
Also, it became a symbol of the South's resistance to integration during the Civil Rights era.

This. The Confederate Battle Flag has always been used as a symbol of racism for those opposed to integration.

That's kind of like looking at the sky and saying it's not blue, because all blue things are icy and minty and blueberry flavored.
In reality, the sky is 100% blue, just as blue as anything else. Your stereotype about what it means to be blue are what's wrong.

So, my stereotype that most people that live in trailer parks have a criminal history is wrong?
