If the American flag has already taken on another meaning in the area, it doesn't matter what the individual's intention was.
A white Southerner could honestly perceive the Confederate flag as nothing more than a benign expression of cultural heritage, but if he goes through a predominantly black neighbourhood, it matters jack what he personally intends. A person would be doing him a favor by telling him to put the flag away.
