Just let the damn thing die and be resigned to the scrap heap of history.

Well as a non American I'm no expert. And what Mookie said looks to make sense. But I always wondered what that flag exactly means nowadays. I mean I know it was the flag of the south in the Civil War, but what is it's meaning now? Does it just represent a general feel of rebellion? Or does it have a racial connotation too?
I'm just curious since I see this flag coming up in movies and series now and then and I always wonder what it is exactly that it stands for?
