Brings back memories for me. In the rust belt 1983 - I was 19, drove a ‘72 chevelle with a rebel flag plate on the front. Lived in a racially-mixed area and had several black friends. Never thought of it as a racial thing but as a ‘question authority’ - ‘rebel’ type of thing.

People used to be less stupid.
