Why that flag is NOT just about "heritage"
The fact is, many people who love the idea of White domination have gained inspiration from that symbol, and continue to be influenced by it.
It is no accident that Mr. Ruff was wearing the symbols of Rhodesia and Apartheid-era South Africa. Both were influenced by the Southern idea of a white run empire.
Hitler used the example of the slaughter of Native Americans and the enslavement of Africans as an example to prove that yes, he could do the same to the Jews.
and from our own headlines:

That flag is not just being used to honor the genuinely different culture of the South, but has always been a celebration of White Christians idea that they have a god-given right to kill and enslave all others. It ain't about Grits, BBQ, Southern Literature and Music though it does TAINT them.

That's the flag of the Confederate States of America. (Or at least the first one)
What we normally call the Confederate flag is the flag of the Army of Northern Virginia. If you're in South Carolina, it's not your flag.
