Is the Confederate flag racist?

Following the Charleston shootings President Obama said the Confederate flag -- prominently displayed in a photo of the suspect and his car -- belongs in a museum. The flag is regularly flown in the South Carolina state capital and continues to be on show against the wishes of many for it to be removed out of respect for the victims. Lee Millar is a descendant of a veteran of the US civil war and disagrees with the President's suggestion.
