Nowdays it actually has two meanings:
The First: Is the banner of States rights and southern pride vs. the Federal Goverment.
The Second: is the banner of rebels outside the norm. Some one who is against the establishment and pushing the law to the limit and if not breaking it bending it as far as they can.
A lot of motorcycle clubs both white and African American use the rebel flag as their symbol.
What they are saying by using it is that they are not going to follow along like meek sheep in lock step with the rest of society. They are individuals and are going to do their own thing. And they do not care what Society thinks about them.

I'm from Texas. The Rebel flag means many things, but the dominant feeling it evokes is one of sadness. Sadness that the old way of life is gone, that one of our most glorious cities was destroyed out of pure meanness, that rapacious northerners money- and land-grubbed under the shield of "reconstruction", that our identity is now associated solely with the repugnant practice on slavery when the Old South (and New) is so much more than that.

The honor and history of the Old South.

Depends on who you ask. For me it means Honor and way of life for the Old South.
