I honestly don't see a reason to make a big fuss over keeping a flag. Of course, it is the CONFEDERATE flag, mainly used during the civil war, so flying that flag over 150 years later could anger people. And of course, some hate groups have adopted it, so that ruins it for the majority of people that aren't in hate groups. But I recommend tapping the link to an article where Charlie Daniels gives his opinion. He brings up some good points.

There isn't really a difference between the confederate flag and the n azi flag. You can say "the flag doesn't represent racism, it had economic strife, political problems, and it represents my heritage." And these points are true. Both movements had these details within them. But both groups are dead. The flag now is remembered by the worst deeds done by both groups. The confederacy is dead, just get rid of the flag.
