I’m no southerner and no supporter of secession, but the COnfederate Flag does not represent racism and the ku Klux Klan, it is a symbol of the south and southern heritage. I would bet for a majority of Americans that is the very first thing they think of when they see that. I doubt 10% think of it just as Southern Heritage. Most probably view it as a symbol of rebellion over the right of one person to own another person. States treading on the individual's rights.

The first thing I always think of is the General Lee from Dukes of Hazzard. And no, I'm not joking. I watched that show all the time as a kid so it's burned in the brain pretty good.

Daisy and the "general Lee' did pretty well to have been only supported by 10% of the population...

I would bet a majority of Americans would think of Dukes of Hazard first. :)

Now, I think people have been taught by the media that it means racism. Amazing how effective the media has been in putting that in society's collective heads.
