Heritage or hate?  Yes.  It's both, not one or the other.  I'm sure for some people it is a symbol of heritage.  I'm sure for others it is a symbol of racism.  From my personal experience, the people I have known who displayed that flag were either overtly racist or closet racists.  I don't know a single person for which that flag was strictly heritage.

I'll also admit personal experience isn't definitive fact, but I'm from a small town in western PA and there are people in said small town that have absolutely 100% never lived in and/or have migrated from a confederate state of any sort that have that flag displayed or on their clothing etc..
