Yes, for some people the Confederate flag denotes racism. For some it doesn't.

Soldiers fought the Nazis with Soviet flag displayed on them, but it doesn't make it a freedom symbol.
Symbols mean different things to different people. What the Soviet flag means to you and what it means to other people is very different.

Continuing with the Nazi theme, it's like showing up with a Nazi flag in Israel and saying it symbolizes universal health-care and government infrastructure projects.
I don't agree with this at all. Again, I'm not a fan of the confederate flag, I'm simply saying that associating everyone who displays one as a racist just isn't accurate. Southerners are very proud of their southern heritage, and for many of them that flag is a symbol of that.
Again, personally I dislike it, but I don't think it should be banned.
