Same reason they have demonized the rebel flag. Not because of racism (it isn’t racist), but because of the idea of rising up against an out of control government.
THIS is the exact reason. I remember in the 90s and early 2000s people of all races flew the flag. I live in New England and used to see everyone flying it.
It wasn't about race until 2008-2012, then only got worse from there...
I live in New England and ive always thought NE folks flying a confederate battle flag were being disrespectful to the thousands of NE union solders that died fighting that war.
