I do not find it offensive in any way.

The flag has become a symbol of ones Southerness. Just like how you will hear the rappers and gansters calling each other ******. ****** does not mean the same thing to them it orignally did. It's just a word used to relate to their hoodness.

Of couse the flag could be used as a symbol of slavery if that's what the bearer means, but then calling someone ****** could also be used in a context that would be unacceptable.

Besides, this is a free country. Who cares if people want to express their freedom with that flag? Homosexuals like to flaunt their gayness in parades and such, why wouldn't some redneck want to flaunt his redneckness in their car?
