But is wearing a Confederate Flag symbol any different then wearing a German Swastika symbol??? And the fact that the Confederate Flag was incorporated into the Flags of several southern states during the late 1950s as a protest of the Federal intervention on civil rights under the Eisenhower administration does indicate what the intended symbolism is ...
