What's up with confederate flags?

the flag does not stand for racism.Yea it was the battle flag for the South.But the South was fighting for what they believe in.The north was telling them how to live and stealing southern inventions.The racist people such as yourself is why people see the flag as racist.The North owned slaves too.If the South would have won the war would you call the American flag racist?No!Slavery being abolished was thrown in there halfway through the war.THE WAR WAS NOT ABOUT SLAVERY!!!!!!And if you don't like my flag you can kiss my Rebel a ss!
