55. Hate groups
such as the KKK use the US flag and the Christian cross as well. However, not everybody that flies these flags represent KKK thinking nor vice versa. The difficulty with the flag issue is plain and simple-historical perspective. For some, the hollowed out buildings and rubble of Charleston, Richmond, Atlanta, leave an indelible mark. If you've seen photos of these cities from right after the devastation, you know "shock and awe" has nothing on the devastation. There are no presidential wreaths laid out for the defenders of those cities. So therefore, all who may own a confederate flag aren't defacto racists.
