The way I see it, it's between historically and culturally. Historically, it is a traitors flag that was made for people to keep slaves. No bueno, no support. Culturally, and this just might be me, the first times I saw that flag was Dukes of Hazard, Lynard Skynard, and a bandana my grandma made me that has long since unraveled. I'm half black and have always seen past memories of good times with the family and that flag always somewhere flapping around. Maybe that's why I associate it with southern pride, because how it was socially introduced to me. As a symbol of the south. I know better now. No longer running around with a confederate shirt and an afro, lol. But as far as I know of, correct me if I'm wrong, there's no other flag or symbol that represents the south and the culture of it. Apples pies and soda while you're sweating cause its just so dang humid. That southern heat. That southern drawl. All of it. Even our past mistakes I'll own up to, not proud of those. Tbh, I feel like to an extent, we've almost "taken back" the meaning of the flag. But maybe that's just because of the crown I hang with. Still won't fly that thing in public though, that's dumb.
