I think that the correct title for this flag is
Confederate Battle Flag, so maybe it's a Confederate flag; but not
the Confederate Flag.
Seems to me it stands for <i>Kiss My Ass</i>. Not my ass, of course, but the a** of whoever happens to be holding the flag.
To understand this relationship, one must know the history of South Carolina, which is, of course, the Kiss-My-Ass State. And how, you may ask, did South Carolina become the Kiss-My-Ass State.
First off, before the American Revolutionary War, in a sort of Kiss-My-Ass-George action, South Carolina was the first state to declare independence. Next, in a sort of Kiss-My-Ass-Abe action, South Carolina was the first state to secede from the Union. Recently, in a sort Kiss-My-Ass-De-Bois action, South Carolina flew the
Confederate Battle Flag over the State Capitol, much to the indignation of the Negros-Ain’t-Actin’like-Colored-Pfolk organization. So, South Carolina is the Kiss-My-Ass-State; and because of South Carolina’s association with the Confederate Battle Flag, it has become the Kiss-My-Ass symbol. That suggests that anyone who believes in Kiss-My-Ass should use the Confederate Battle Flag to say just that.
With all that in mind, one might wonder who might best benefit from a Kiss-My-Ass-Symbol like the Confederate Battle Flag. Maybe the NAACP.
