I understand how you have come to this post but
1) You must not be including White Supremists in your "flag wavers" total because those people's message is pretty obvious. Intolerance and hate.
2) How do non-white supremisits who are confederate flag wavers stand by the explanation "Southern Pride and to honor the memories of their ancestors who served under that flag during the Civil War"? These ancestors where some of the most unpatriotic people. Not only did they not respect the American flag, they killed those that fought to preserve it. In fact these ancestors that fought in the civil war killed more AMERICAN Military personnel then any other foreign body.
Not to mention the whole slavery part.

Most ancestors who fought for the Confederacy were poor men who had no more say in their Government's direction than any other soldier who fought in other wars they didn't agree with. Take your pick of Vietnam, WWI, or basically in any war in history.
Pretending that the average confederate soldier was really anti-American is ridiculous.
With that said, I will never I stand anyone who flies a confederate flag while claiming to be a proud American.

None of that matters, and does nothing to diminish the OP point. Similar arguments which basically ask "whats their point" or "are they justified" can be made against the kneelers. Whether theyre "right" or "wrong" doesn't change how theyre perceived.
