Will someone who thinks the Confederate flag is a harmless symbol of history please respond to the comment that waving the flag at a black person is very much like waving a Nazi flag at a Jew?

Like I said earlier, everyone I've ever talked to (admittedly not many) who was displaying the flag was a racist. And every black person I've talked to sees it as a gross insult.

And the other question: Why would anyone display a flag that they know (or should know) is seen as a racist symbol by lots of folks?
