Most confederate soldiers were not slave owners. You needed land and a lot of credit to afford slaves. That flag really represents a suicide charge up a hill into a hail of gunfire, motivated purely by racism, and dying solely for the benefit of the ultra wealthy, fighting to your last breath against a system that would benefit you.
So yeah, it does sound like their past, present, and future. Muh Heritage!
Fuck 'em.
