If its any exception at all it proves there is a misconception.

no it doesnt. it only proves that you're use of the icon is an exception. you cant turn that around and use that as proof that the majority of people who celebrate that icon are not racist scum.

Theres no way of proving that the majority are either. Many certainly, the majority? very questionable. Its also stereotyping plain and simple.

Big difference in hitler and what were talking about. There probably, stereotyping about a flag, yes...wrong and many times incorrect. Thats no different than all the hillbilly and redneck jokes Ive seen on this forum. All stereotypes can ultimately(and often) be incorrect. Thats the very nature of stereotypes, an uninformed and without fact, opinion.

Why do many people always assume the worst when they see the confederate flag. The war was not even over the issue of slavery as most people believe.
As a shallow minded Scot and like most of my countrymen I automatically associate the Confederate flag with the Dukes of Hazzard.

If you ever see a Rebel Flag on the front of a pickup, then its a safe assumption that the person driving is a typical good ol' boy.

Confederate Flag is the symbol. It is a symbol of people who once stood up in order to defend their belief.
Regarding the problem of slavery. I am not sure whether we can say the other side was fighting for Slave Freedom. It was simply a matter of receiving more political power and control.
