The Confederate flag may have racial connontations, but that's not what it represents. Only to idiots who don't look deeper than the surface.
The Confederate flag symbolizes tradition, culture, and freedom from oppression. What most people don't know is that the Civil War wasn't fought over the slaves, it was because the USA was founded as a loose union of states, each one ruling how they saw fit. The Union wanted to change what the country was founded on, and introduced Big Government, Big Brother to the USA, against the original intentions of the founding fathers.
It's about resistance of tyranny, right to bare arms against an oppressive government, and the right to live freely. It's NOT about white power.
