To me it isn't so much offensive because they're rednecks, but more so because I find it Un-American. It's like I said before, how can someone who considers themselves and American citizen show off a clearly Un-American symbol? The south seceeded from the Union, therefor seceeding from the United States of America, wanting to become their own nation. Their flag, the 'rebel' flag to me stands for everything Un-American. I dislike it, but if it's something you beleive in, I won't try to stop you from showing it off.
