Slavery and racism were not incidental to the Confederacy, in the Lone Star State or elsewhere. The Texas declaration of secession held as its first finding:
“We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable.”

I don't understand why people Jones so much over the confederate flag... Trying to equate it with something like the swastika is hilarious.
I think a lot of these "leaders" going after 150 year old symbols that have vastly different meanings to different people could do a lot more good if they would focus on educating their constituencies and followers how to think for themselves independently of their race. Of course... That wouldnt exactly be in the leader's self interest. The race card would be accepted far fewer places if most people stopped carrying it. Better to go after a 150 year old boogieman...

You raised the strawman that CF was for advocating slavery, not me.
I don't think there is a good argument for restricting someone's right to display the confederate flag. The question is whether or not the government should display potential hate speech on its property. However, there is a strong argument that the flag isn't pure hate speech and has a political dimension.
Personally, if the klan has a constitutional right to have a rally at a public park, I don't see a good reason why you shouldn't have a constitutional right to have a confederate flag on a license plate.
That being said, you'd have to be pretty fucking ignorant to want a confederate flag license plate.

Here is an example of what I see a lot in the defence of the confederate flag: "THEY WERE RACISTS TOO!!!" But it didn't really provide a reason why anyone wants to fly a confederate flag.
The American flag isn't seen as a sign of racism whereas the Confederate Flag is for a pretty simple reasons:
The United States of America won. The Confederate Stats of America lost.
For right or wrong, winner gets to write the history books. Had Hitler been able to conquer the planet, few of us would have a problem with the Nazi flag and we'd see American and British flags as signs of an ancient enemy.
In this case, I happen to believe the "right" side won both the civil war (and WWII) but the point is that's why no one goes after the American flag as a sign of racism, or a sign of the injustices towards native Americans, etc. The USofA won, and has since changed its ways. The Confederate States lost and was broken up as nation in support of slavery.
Should Russia, or Georgia, or the Ukraine, etc. have commemorative USSR license plates? Should Bavaria make a special National Socialists license plate? How about a Barbarian Horde license plate in Prussia or a Babylonia plate in Iraq?

Anyone who can provide a reason for wanting to fly a Confederate Flag, either on your truck, on your house or even in the privacy of your own home... please chime in.
For the record, I support anyone's right to fly whatever flag they want. I also support the right of other people to form judgements about you and believe you have no place to complain when everyone thinks your a Nazi when you fly a Nazi flag ("it's not fair people just assume!!!"). But I don't think ANY foreign flag, especially ones of countries that don't even exist anymore, should be on state-issued license plates.

People are idiots and find everything offensive.
Obviously the Civil War was about slavery AND state's rights. There is no way around it. For those who think the federal government has way too much power it means one thing, to those who want to see a racist symbol they do.
I don't have an opinion either way.
I do know people are way to sensitive in this country about everything. I could post an image of the German Coat of Arms and some idiot would cry that I was a racist. Who gives a shit? Symbols mean different things to different people, move on.

Your analogy is flawed. A SOCV license plate is a single thing that has to be created by Texas. A public park exists regardless of whether SOCV groups meet there or not. The state does not designate SOCV public parks.

Not really. The park exists and requires no expenditure of public funds in order for a bunch of racists to meet there, if they choose.
Creating a license plate, on the other hand, requires specific effort and expenditure.
So pretty much exactly what Spurminator said.

If there are other license plates used for groups/causes such as this, I object to those too.
I would object to a Black Panther, La Raza, Muslim League, I "Star of David" Jewish Girls, NAMBLA, Laker Fan license plates just as readily.
But the state has to pay for the park's upkeep.
You don't think allowing a hate group on public property sends a message that the government is condoning that group's message?
If there are other license plates used for groups/causes such as this, I object to those too.

It's a sunk cost that will be incurred with or without that group meeting on it. If any group causes damages to public grounds beyond reasonable wear and tear expected from anyone using it, they should be billed for those damages.

No, I don't think they have the right to prevent the kkk from meeting in a park so long as they were not violating any other laws or ordinances. That is speech, and I believe in free speech and the first amendment.
Where my opinion is that license plates don't fall under free speech because no one has the right to have public funds devoted to creating you a license plate. You do, however, have the right to buy your own flag or bumper sticker or even paint your entire truck like a confederate flag if you want.

You're right. The problem is when the government opens up property it owns to allow groups to organize/meet/"speak." Once a state allows groups to use government property to "advertise" its message, it can't turn around and deprive other groups similar "advertising" just because it doesn't like that group's message or ideology.

Why can't you liberals learn tolerance?
Why can't you cheerleaders keep up with a debate that doesn't fall neatly along party lines?

Now if we had any Hindu's displaying their cultural variety of one, you probable wouldn't even think it a swastika... They do look a little different!

I have nothing against blacks, I just want to own one or two of them. (not racist)
Citizens of new hampshire wanted a phrase removed from their license plates.
You want to force the state to put something on the plate.
Big difference.

No one flying a CF is advocating slavery.
What are they advocating? If it's states rights, why not fly their states flag then?
A confederate flag Bikini is no more racist than FUBU pants.
:lol
If you had said "Black Panther" brand pants, I'd have been on board with this.

Where's that surgeon troll when you need him?
If only we were all as accepting of racism as WC...
Is there any doubt that if we were living in the pre-civil war era that both WC and Glenn Beck would be slaveholders and staunch advocates of a Confederacy? Of course there isn't.
States' rights!!! lol

Why are some of you blind to the other angle of perceived racism? As often as I point out important aspects of our racial divide, the real aspect I point out seems to go completely ignored.
Who's being biased by staying closed minded?

No, the problem is that I don't accept racism. It is you and others, who believe that minorities still are inferior, so you want to give them special treatment. Like quota's.

It's his credo.

LOL, back to quotas. That myth has been thoroughly debunked. No one here is advocating for quotas, and the courts have not allowed quotas to be used in hiring or college admissions policies. Just pulling shit out of your ass as usual.
I don't like most black people. There are very few who I have met that grew up in a cultural setting I have any respect for. Most I have met are out right thugs, and lack integrity. I could say I don't like black people, but there are some exceptions. If I based all my decisions on statistics, I would stay clear of blacks.
Oh, and It's also a good thing WC doesn't base his decision on statistics.

Liking and disliking people for their actions is not the same as judging them by race, or thinking they are inferior because of race like those who support quota systems do.

You just said earlier that "I don't like most black people". I don't know where you live but I doubt that you've even met 10% of all black people. How can you say you don't like most of them?
