The battle flag that is commonly called "The Confederate Flag," was barely flown during the CW. It didn't come into popularity until the federal government started enforcing desegregation, and it was nothing more than an intentional middle finger both to blacks and the government for forcing whites to integrate with them. It has exactly zero to do with "heritage."
It should be recognized as such and condemned as such. The 1st amendment stands, and anyone who wants to to may fly it. But it needs to be recognized that anyone who does is being an intentional a-hole.
Which is, of course, their right.

I couldn’t care less, but why would a flag from 150 years ago
Because it wasn't. It was during the late 50s-70s that the flag in question started being flown.

If you are referring to the St. Andrews cross battle flag you are a fricking idiot. This might be The dumbest/most ignorant post that I have ever seen here. The Battle flag was flown by regiments in the Army of Northern Virginia. The Confederate Army of Tennessee even adopted a version of the St.Andrews Cross battle flag. Who taught you history? Just go look up the original battle flags in state archives and museums. The St. Andrews Cross was the most dominant f!ag used in the battlefields by both CSA armies.
