What exactly is "it's meaning"?  You seem to hold the universal meaning of the confederate battle flag.  



I'm sorry that you can't recognize what most Americans already know.
The Confederate Rag is, and always has been about racism and slavery.

I can't help you or anybody else that looks at a battle flag and sees racism.  If you believe the colors of a flag conjure thoughts of racism, then you are just as ignorant as a racist.  The POW MIA flag should be removed because it conjures images of the slaughter of millions of Vietnamese by Americans.

while an argument could made that the history of the Swastika symbol was not entirely evil...in fact for only 12 of its 3000 years was it used that way after it was co-opted by the Nazi's, the stars and bars was created specifically for the confederate war effort.

HUH.  I thought the POW/Mia flag was about POW's and MIA's.
I'm sure that the POW/MIA flag means something terribly anti Govt to you... but so does
just about everything in this country.

don't seem to be putting your best efforts into your troll comments.

That's what you thought it means?  Geez, I guess symbolism is subjective.  I always thought it was a flag symbolizing those left behind on foreign soil that participated in killing a race of people in undeclared US wars of aggression.

Since your Google skills (among others) may not be quite proficient, allow me to help you (and I got the sarcasm):
Quoted Text
On August 10, 1990, the 101st Congress passed U.S. Public Law 101-355, which recognized the League’s POW/MIA flag and designated it “as the symbol of our Nation’s concern and commitment to resolving as fully as possible the fates of Americans still prisoner, missing and unaccounted for in Southeast Asia, thus ending the uncertainty for their families and the Nation”.

You Need a History Lesson:
The Confederate Flag Is a Symbol of Hate


Growing up in the South, I had seen that flag before and I knew what it stood for.
The Confederate flag is a symbol of hatred -- hatred for Black Americans. Countless
times, I have been told, "If this flag offends you, you need a history lesson."
Let me be clear: This flag offends me, but it is YOU who needs the history lesson.

Americans can kill hundreds of thousands of innocent in the world, take over their country and fly the red, white & blue in foreign countries.....but that's ok!!

ONE....ONE....ONE out of 300 MILLION commits a horrific crime and the race agitators get to work!!

what a bunch of brainwashed, brain dead, dimwitted idiots 'most' people are!

the smart independent thinking folks are becoming anti-government....not anti-American!!!
