No.. Its not. Down here in the south, its not even viewed as a "Conferderate flag" it is a DIXIE Flag. They were here long before the civil war started, the Conferderate states adopted the Dixie flag as their flag, but it doesn't represent racism in any which way, several state flags have Dixie flag on them. Saying it represents racism is as stereotypical as saying all rednecks are inbred, and even comparing it to the Nazi flag is complete and utter ignorance and a complete misunderstanding of what it represents, which is the pride of growing up in the southern Dixie states.
Now that you say it I even recall Yela referring to it as the "Dixie flag", not the "Confederate flag".
