I dunno man. It holds different meaning for different people. Many african americans see it as a reminder of racism but white people see it as freedom without racism. It's not supposed to be a racist symbol so I don't know. If they think it's still racist, they can take it down, I suppose.
This is a quote from William T Thompson, who was a creator of the Confederate flag:
"As a people, we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause.… Such a flag…would soon take rank among the proudest ensigns of the nations, and be hailed by the civilized world as THE WHITE MAN'S FLAG.… As a national emblem, it is significant of our higher cause, the cause of a superior race, and a higher civilization contending against ignorance, infidelity, and barbarism. Another merit in the new flag is, that it bears no resemblance to the now infamous banner of the Yankee vandals."
