It might be that the Confederate flag is a symbol of a war that consumed 650,000 lives, and a symbol of the government whose position was slavery everywhere, slavery forever. It might be that the Confederate flag is preferred today by white supremacists and segregationists. Or it might just be that black people have a strong patriotic preference for the lawful flag of the United States.

What does a confederate flag with a skull in the middle mean symbolize?

If the tattoo was obtained in youth in a non-racist highly populated area, probably freedom of expression. However, if the individual continues to wear it in adulthood after learning that the confederate flag is associated with racism against African Americans, or originates from an all-white community (especially in "Yankee territory"), that's an entirely different matter and the individual is more than likely racist. If initials are anywhere near the tattoo, this usually indicates a crime (for example, G.T.A. = Grand Theft Auto) the individual commited to get into the racist organization or the initials of an African American they have assaulted/killed in order to be initiated. The confederate flag is affiliated with the confederacy, when the Unites States was active in slavery. Similar to the swastika in Germany, the swastika represents a time when Germany was very powerful politically, but the ugly side to it was the Holocaust. This is why the swastika is offensive to Jewish individuals and the confederate flag is offensive to African Americans.

Who felt comfortable with the old South African flag and why?

The old South African flag represented the Afrikaaners and the contribution they made to establishment and creation of independent South Africa in 1915. Similar to the Confederate Flag in the United States, the old South African flag has basically become a symbol of racial discrimination to the black population of the country. It is only endorsed by a handful of Afrikaaners today because most recognize the negative emotions that most South Africans (the Blacks) attach to it.
