As you pointed out, you already said (in the other thread) that the flag is a racist symbol that should not be flown over the capitol building. Confirmation isn't necessary.

"I never said I get to decide what something means to someone else.". Seems like you're deciding that the flag is a racist symbol to me. What's the deal? Do you or don't you get to decide what things mean to other people?
