The Confederate flag is seen as a symbol of racism by some and as a symbol of rebelion by others. Either way unlike Germany, who hides it's history and acts as if it never happend, we should (and do for the most part) aknowledge our histry and embrace it good or bad. It is in the end who we are and where we come from.
The Confederate flag in the end is just the flag of a failed union of states.
That's why it makes me angry and sad when you have people like the Governor of Mississippi and Virginia completely downplaying or ignoring the slavery aspect of the CSA
