TO ME, the Confederate Flag symbolizes a brutal time in the history of the USA, a time of slavery, a time where brother fought against brother, a time where the South tried to secede from the North. Seeing the flag in any form--flag, bumper sticker, decal, clothing patch--is an embarassment of a time I wish had never happened. I am German--I do not display the Nazi symbol anywhere in my house, nor do I believe in it.
