no.im southern and ive never one known anyone that has used it in such a way.most southerners use it as a memorial for southern heritage and pride.i think people assume that it is because it flew during slave times.but so did the American flag.so.that's my point.
AnswerAs a Southerner I agree with the above answer. One of my ancestors died in a Confederate uniform, but he never owned slaves. Only 25% of Southern families did, so the other 75% must have been fighting for something else.
The rebel flag the flag of the south.
yeah i do
The flag referred to as the "Rebel Flag" in the United States is typically the rectangular Confederate flag known officially as the Confederate Navy Jack. The square flags with the same red background and diagonal blue cross with 13 white stars are the Cavalry and Artillery flags of the Confederacy (the Confederate States of America). These flags were NOT official flags of the Confederate States of America but rather battle-related flags. There is a common misconception that these battle flags are called the "stars and bars" because they actually have stars and bars. But the actual "stars and bars" flag is the first of three National Flag of the Confederacy... doesn't look a thing like the battle flags.
The "rebel flag" is the red flag with the blue X crosss with 13 stars. The 13 stars represent the 13 confederate states. This was also called the battle flag for the Stars and Bars as it was the flag used in battle to identify the regiment. They also carried the Confederate States National flag, which underwent 3 different designs---one of which included the Stars & Bars in the corner. Today the Rebel Flag has become to symbolize Southern heritage, people who want to party, anti-establishment, Klu Klux Klan, motorcycle gangs, SkinHeads and a many other rebellious causes. If you look up KKK photos of the 50's and 60' you wil see NO Confederate Flags present. Only the American flag was carried until the klan was abolished. The new klan is not the same as it was in the past. The original KKK was mostly Northern men from Ohio and Indiana and I hear a lot of klaverns still exist there. During the 1920's, the Klan was a large organization that politicians could not ignore. Most of the members were from the northern states.
No he was not a racist.
Many people believe that the rebel flag, also known as the Confederate flag, represents racism due to its historical association with the Confederacy and the Civil War fought to preserve slavery. The flag is often used as a symbol of white supremacy and segregation.

Because it is not a racist symbol. It is the flag of the Confederate States of America. A person who chooses to view it as racist is exhibiting their own ignorance.
