No, it doesn’t offend me at all...but I don’t place any particular political symbolism on it. I simply see it as a curiosity, and a part of our history. I could certainly see where a segment of society that feels victimized in general would see it as offensive.

Nah. It makes me feel sorry for the people flying it, because they still identify with the anti-American losing side even 155 years later.

When I see the confederate flag, I think of the LSU - Ole Miss games of the 1960's and 1970's.

It does not offend me. If a private citizen wants to fly that flag, that citizen has every right to. I do not think it should be flown outside of federal or state buildings. We when it comes to representing our country, we have one flag, and that’s Old Glory. But, no. I don’t get bent out of shape if I see a rebel flag. Feels weird to get angry over it.

I've seen 3 rebel flags on trucks in my little town and 2 of them were black guys driving and 1 60 year old white dude

No but I can easily see why it might offend a black person.

It doesn't offend me at all.

It just informs me of trash's true colors.

I like the CSA's flags and I'm quite disturbed that the Segregation Movement of yesteryear used one of these flags as the symbol of their movement. The consequence of this malicious and thoughtless action is that the CSA's flags are smeared and very offensive to African Americans.

I wish it was just a symbol that represented nothing more than just a historical flag of a region of the USA. It saddens me that it is seen as a symbol of White Power/White Supremacy.

Not at all just like the Malcom X cap, t-shirt, or whatever doesn’t offend me!

The third confederate national flag is the most beautiful flag of all time.

It doesn't offend me. I had one when I was 11 because I liked the Dukes of Hazard.

What it does today is help me identify the idiots because this day and internet age there is too much information out there as to why the flag is stupid. Same with the monuments that were erected in response to civil rights movements.

You have the right to fly it if you want, though.

Does the sickle and hammer on tshirts at BLM protests bother you?

Serious question.

If you see the Confederate Flag as ONLY a symbol of racism, then YOU are the fricking idiot & a moron.

I have never really understood the love affair with the Confederate flag for southerners.

The Confederacy lost the Civil War.

We are all citizens of the United States of America.

Fly the American flag...

It makes me SMDH at the people who think it’s a source of pride or anything positive.
