29. To most northern progressives, yes
However, sadly its a matter of context.

We need to look at the context of who is flying it and why. But onus of demonstrating the meaning of the symbol as being other than racist/desiring to re-establish the old feudal order that persisted in the south is on the flier of the flag.

I hope a DUer could provide a defense of cases where its use is non racist/secessionist/feudalism.
