1st off. It is not illegal to be racist. 
2nd off. The flag does in no shape nor form portray inferiority of any race. 
I was stationed in the south, and that flag waves under people of all races raised in the south. It is a representation of their right to rebel. 

If you want to talk hypocrites of race inferiority, look no further than the democratic party that fought against the movement to free the slaves. The same party that to this day, works tirelessly to keep low-income earners stuck in deadend government programs. 

Anyone who says the confederate flag "scares" them, is nothing but a squeaky wheel looking for people to hear them whine to become the center of attention. The only way that flag should "hurt" someone, is someone rolled it up...froze it and hit someone with it. 

I lost family in the Holocaust, i don't cringe or cry when i see a swastika. Get real people.
