well obviously this could go around for ever. So here is my last shot on this.

Your, problem, as I see it, is that you confuse what is implied or inferred. If I fly the flag I am implying what I mean, when you see it, you infer its meaning based on your own notions.
It is a false notion that MOST people see the Confederate Flag with racist connotations.

Over the years polls by the Atlanta JC, CNN and others show that most people are either OK with it or neutral. The lastest scientific poll was done by Pew Research. I shows that the majority of Americans don't see the flag as racist or not.
Not even a majority of African Americans see it as racist.
The poll is very interesting, have a read

I am neither ignorant of history or symbolism. And I realize what SOME think of the flag. Lots of things offend various people.

Believe what you want, but it is not supported by the facts.

My only hope is that you think twice when you see someone with a Confederate flag, and not automatically judge them as a racist.

I am sure there are other things we agree on. Truly hope things are going well for you.

I agree.

You seem to not care what people infer. That's an approach I'd rather not take. That's where we differ.
