The rebel flag is one of those symbols that means different things to different people. To many it is, as darkstar so succinctly put it, a big fuck you to any and all authority figures. The fact that so many are offended by the flag guaranties these people will continue to fly it. IMO many of the young white males flying the flag on their pick-up truck fall into this category.

Unfortunately there is no way to discern the simply rebellious from the full fledged bigoted racist. Those that give those brandishing the "Stars and Bars" a wide berth are definitely taking their best interests to heart.
