How "Bigoted" Is That Flag?

This morning I was reading about some girl who had evidently not known the difference between the British Union Jack and the Confederate Naval Jack flags and had ordered the Confederate one from Amazon by mistake and posted about it.

Of course, she is taking a lot of grief about it with several comments about the Confederate flag standing for bigotry and how she is a real idiot.

Most couldn't believe she had made the mistake even though there are some similarities with design and colors. 

Personally, I don't mind them for calling her to task for not knowing the difference, but, calling the flag a symbol of bigotry is bordering on bigotry and racism itself.

By the way, I find that I can fly the Confederacy's First National Flag, the Stars and Bars, and no one ever says anything about it because they don't know it is a Confederate flag.

Anyway!  --Old Secesh
