Without ever knowing its history, the first I really knew of the confederate flag was when Somerset Speedway began using as their club emblem and always associated it simply with being a "rebel". Since the Charleston shooting in the USA 2 weeks ago it seems that over there the flag has very racist connections. The creator of the flag William.T.Thompson referred to the design as "the white mans flag"   With what the confederate flags symbolises in the USA should Somerset still continue to use it?
