Are people who take Pride in the confederate flag racist?

Answer 1

It depends on why you take pride in it. - If you take pride in it because you are Southern then no - if you take pride in it because you are in the KKK then yes

Answer 2

Not necessarily. Some, yes. Many people mistakenly believe that the confederate flag stands for a desire to have never had slavery abolished. That was NOT the reason for the Civil War. The Civil War was fought in an effort to uphold state's rights. The southern states wished to secede from the Union. When this was denied, they fought to preserve the right to do so. That is why the confederate soldiers were referred to as "rebels"--they were rebelling against the Union Army, which was trying to prevent the southern states from leaving the Union. All the southern states wanted to do was to form their own union--just as the colonists wished to do when they left England. Remember, the Revolutionary War was about the SAME THING!
