although it has been used as such by the Klan, other white supremacists and neo-Nazi groups.
And this is why it is a controversial symbol today.
ETA: I'm probably coming off as very anti-flag, which isn't the case at all.

I'm not denying that. But those aren't the reasons being purported - they always go back to the Confederacy and slavery as the reasoning - NOT that the symbol has been co-opted.
So, why can't we play the same card the Muslims play? "The flag has been hijacked. We don't endorse the flag as a symbol of racism and white supremacy." Why doesn't that work?

I still love seeing this flag flying on houses in Charleston. THE OG South Carolina Secession flag.
