    Default What does the Confederate flag represent?

    Is it just for racists/white supremacists?

    Or is it a legitimate expression of the southern identity? Does it stand for other things such as states' rights, and the whole southern/Dixie culture which has historically been pretty different to that of the north.

    I have it in my sig because they one of the big things they celebrate when promoting the 'Ulster-Scots' heritage is the role of Ulster-Scots settlers in the southern US. They have some nice cultural themed murals on it in Northern Ireland, not just for the southern US, I put a few below:

    Then again, the Confederate flag is definitely used by nastier elements. There was a really funny picture of one guy who had a confederate flag on his car, with a picture below of 9/11 which said "Everything I need to know about Islam I learned on 9/11" but I can't find it now.

    In any case, what are the thoughts on the confederate flag?

    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.
