Not really...it could be viewed the same as a swastika. No one likes to see those plastered all over the place but no one has ever forgotten the horrors of world war 2 and nazi Germany. Not that I'm comparing the confederate flag to Hitler, it's apples and oranges, but you get what I mean.
People only forget when you allow them to forget.
