What I don't understand is why people still feel the need to be waving the confederate flag around at all. They were the enemy to the US. Why do people still support that?

Many people down in the south have heritage that died in the war. I think most people forget that while the USA is one individual country, it is composed of many different territories, regions, states, cultures, and heritages.
A very small percentage of Americans would welcome slavery these days. But the Confederate flag is embedded in our history and not everybody views it as a racist symbol. Regardless if it is or not- the flag itself is meer perspective. It has racist roots but so does the American flag- waving over US armies that massacred native americans. Does that mean that the US flag is racist?

All this effort America puts in to prevent racism or the racist past (confederate flag) and things like this still go on, welp.
@Vendetta, the group has extended well beyond Syria and into the whole Levant which is why the S was replaced with L so technically speaking it's the proper way to address the group.

Well I don't find it really racist. The world hates ISIS/ISIL because they are slaughtering innocent people/civilians and initiating fear and terror. They already made it clear they want to kill all Americans. The flag is plain and simple unacceptable to be accepted in the US for a great reason, But constitutionally (where the confederate flag comes in) it is somewhat protected.
I hate ISIS, and as infantry I hope I get lucky enough to put some of them down in the next couple years.

Care to elaborate?

You're argument is pointless. There is a sea of difference between ISIS and the Confederacy. Trying to bring something as evil as ISIS to assist your argument is ridiculous.
