Is the confederate flag racist?

I'll say that people who really love the thing seem remarkably unbothered by racism.

inanimate objects can not be racist.

it's like the beauty in the eye of the beholder thing

many people see it as the symbol of a society that allowed the ownership of others.

others only see it as a decoration.

both are correct in their own mind.

It is often times used as a dog whistle sadly. So yeah. It has been tainted by its association with white supremacy.

It is now.
Give it a hundred years
and see if it changes.

We must be bored dragging this up again .
