Can the Nazi flag be redeemed?

It's possible, but not likely. Certainly not in my lifetime, or my grandchildren's lifetime.

I guess the point I'm making is that many Southerners see the stars and bars purely as a symbol of Southern pride and culture, and not as a racist banner. I think in theory it could be viewed this way, but I imagine a large portion of the public, especially minorities, wouldn't buy into it, understandably so.
