Unless it involves reenactments or honoring the Confederate dead, what else could a Confederate flag mean?
Proud to be white?
If one is proud to be from the South, then one could just as easily have a state flag. "I'm proud to be from Alabama"is neutral". The flag of the defense of slavery and Jim Crow is not neutral.
What can I assume when I see a Nazi or Soviet flag? One believes in the ideology!

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
