Forest,
I am happy we in the US celebrate Lincoln's birthday and not Jefferson Davis'.
As far as the confederate flag, I think it is not a necessarily a racist symbol or rather it is only one when interpreted as such. It obviously is to many people but the "South" is also symbolic to some people of a way of life. [Lynyrd Skynyrd, cheap beer, and a pickup truck?].
Here's a pre-world war II symbol used by Coca Cola. What do you think?

Every Single person I have met down here BAR NONE who flies the reb flag uses the N word like the breath they air. and there is a HUGE population of people like that here.
It is VERRRRY disturbing to me and I constantly tell anyone who uses that word NOT to use it around me in ANY context
Now maybe there are people who fly the flag and think otherwise but to date this has not been my experience
