The saltire is heading the same way Only people that wave that these days are violent bigots. Shame really.
From the guy who designed the Flag: "As a people, we are fighting to maintain the Heaven-ordained supremacy of the white man over the inferior or colored race; a white flag would thus be emblematical of our cause.… Such a flag…would soon take rank among the proudest ensigns of the nations, and be hailed by the civilized world as THE WHITE MAN'S FLAG.… As a national emblem, it is significant of our higher cause, the cause of a superior race, and a higher civilization contending against ignorance, infidelity, and barbarism. Another merit in the new flag is, that it bears no resemblance to the now infamous banner of the Yankee vandals" Not racist?
Okay I'll take you through this one step at a time. Do you see the white on the flag? That's what's called a "Background". So unless you think the Flag's designer was wrong, and that he was in fact talking about another flag he designed, then it's a "Racist" flag, because it was meant as a symbol of White Supremacy. Got it?

Yep, that was the 3rd one. The 2nd one (of which the 3rd one is a descendant) is the one in question.
Nobody flys this flag, the one with the white background, they fly the corner part also known as North Virginia battle flag
