It took over 100 years for the confederate flag to nationally be accepted as a symbol of hate so I think you're good.

I grew up in New England it was always considered disrespectful or I should say taboo. I am 47.

And it should have been sadly New England isn’t indicative of America as a whole on that issue. But I was referring to late 60s is when we really started considering it

yeah growing up in upstate NY even though there are plenty of rural areas seeing the confederate flag always felt wrong and frankly I always assumed it meant a racist lived there

I remember at like 10 or so visiting outer banks and seeing a cool in my 10 year old mind t shirt with a bunch of designs but on the back was a confederate flag in the design. My dad was like pick another.

Somehow I never correlated in my mind the confederate flag and the general lee; thinking back now it was disrespectful to put on the car.
