And some people might just like the way a swastika or a burning cross looks.  But that does not matter when we are dealing with symbols that are universally recognized as supporting groups that promote violence against minorities.

Even if you don't agree with the symbolism it still exists, and the Confederate battle flag is a well recognized symbol of people who support racism and violence against minorities.

Those symbols are used to promote fear and intimidation.  They have that effect even if you don't think they should.  So your opinion does not change reality.
