What are teh white southerners so proud of though that seems to set them apart so much from the Northerners and African Americans? What are the values or historical nodes that are represented to the modern South by the flag? I'm not asking rhetorically in some PC feeler, I'm genuinely interested in knowing what the meaning(s) now to those that love a flag, when others abhor it so.

The flag is on the car because of southern pride...in the south, they believe the south will rise again...

i think it is a racist thing.
imagine if some germans flew the Nazi symbol all over their porsches and named them after the General of the Nazi army. and said its just German pride.

People see whatever the hell they want to see in the flag. Racists fly that to irritate people, most southerners who fly it do so because they are proud of the south, in ways that dont have much to do with race.
Black people in the south are reminded of oppression by it, and northerners see it as a racist redneck symbol.
Everyone sees what they want.
The General Lee's flag was the "southern pride" thing. It wasn't making any comment on race, nor was that intended by a major network show.
