In the modern culture, it is a sign that indicates rebellion, I think. Southern heritage is debatable because of the cultural upsurge that accompanied the Confederate flag. Which is all surely okay, since so many say it's okay under the 1st amendment to burn an American flag. Whoever and whichever organization would argue that the first amendment protects flag burning certainly shouldn't be opposed to the Confederate flag - anywhere.

It simply means Racism.. so both option one and option two. 

By the way the other day I was out scouting properties for the family and I accidentally drove up a poor pocket - a hollow full of shacks and double wides (there are a lot of those still left among the new high end developments in the suburbs here.)  Anyway I saw a mobile home with a huge confederate flag flying above it.  Who knows what the intent of the owner was, though hatred was very likely a part of the message he wished to send.  Naturally my skin crawled.

you need to get out more. next time you see one try and talk to them and you will realize that they are just like you.

The people to fear are the people that run away from alchohol or refuse to go into a sex shop. you can talk to them but they live in world that resembels the 19th century.

There's a classic.

You know what else? Not only are those of us who don't hunt up sex shops or 'run away from alcohol' (as opposed to running in the direction of it?) outright dangerous... we of course without doubt also believe 940 heads and 60 tails is statistically insignificant...
