I understand the states rights argument about the flag not representing racism but just the cultural south, that being said....
I think they should allow African Americans in the south to decide the flags future.
If African Americans vote to have it moved in say the state of Mississippi, than it should go, otherwise it can stay.
I mean I wouldn't want to live under a flag that symbolized oppression of my race, indeed if that is what it symbolizes to them. So let the African Americans decide, they're the ones who've lived under it for more than a century.
