You have to realize that its going to mean different things to different people.
The "redneck" 20 somethings in the big yee-yee trucks that I mentioned earlier? To them it represents their way of life--dirt roads, country music, the creek, bon fires, drinking on Saturday, church on Sunday. And a certain amount of rebellion.
To the folks living the antebellum era home , it may represent their great-great-great grandfather that fought with the confederacy.
I don't have one and never have flown one but back when my oldest son was 12, he played in the Dixie Youth Baseball World Series. We had to travel to Georgia to play. To represent our state, and that they were the state champs, we put state flags on our cars. Our state flag includes the stars and bars. We were told several times as we traveled to be careful because of that state flag. We explained several times that it is not the confederate flag but our state flag and they said they knew and that was the problem. At first we talked about taking the flags off the cars but you know what? we felt a little of that redneck rebellion. We weren't making any political, racist or any other kind of statement. We were simply saying we were proud of our kids for being part of the baseball team that was the best in our state. And we continued to be proud of them and the state they represented. What we did resent was the suggestion that we would all be judged by those little flags on our cars, rather than who we are. And that is just as wrong as judging someone for any number of reasons.
