Both.  There is an undeniable cultural factor, and not everyone who flag that flag supports what it stood for 150 years ago.  Plenty of racist jackasses claim the flag, and will try to argue that the Confederacy didn't stand for slavery, which is idiotic.  That said, the flag is a part of Southern culture beyond the racism, and needs to be recognized as such.
