You don't see many Confederate battle flags anymore. SCV types will generally fly some other flag, like the original Stars and Bars. I fly the Bonnie Blue Flag myself; it has no racist connotations. Most people don't even know it's a Confederate flag.

I also fly the Bonnie Blue Flag without recourse from my Northern neighbors, whether due to ignorance or apathy I do not know. Probably ignorance.

MOST SCVers fly the THIRD NATIONAL.

only flying the S&B seems to be primarily a "UDC thing".

Here in Central CA, you might see more Rebel flags, bumper stickers, auto decals, etc. than in some southern areas. Very strange indeed, considering the relaxed state of our citizenry, if not for the many Confederate soldiers' ancestors living here due to the dust bowl of the 1930's.
