It depends on who you ask.

I've always called it the Rebel flag. I have both rebel and union
blood in me. My ancestors were on both sides of the fight. I didn't
participate, but the Rebel flag is still a part of this countries
history and part of my heritage, too, and I'm no more ashamed of it
than I am of the stars and stripes. When I see the Rebel flag I'm
reminded of my heritage and history and of people who fought for what
they believed in regardless of which side they were on.

Imo, we're all rebels when we speak up for what we believe, and I
don't think it's right to stop selling the Rebel flag because some
criminal did something stupid.

I keep imagining a small, but not insignificant group of nazi's in
Germany using these very same words about flying their flag
