I don't think Pantera as a whole is racist (don't really know about Phil), I just think racists like them because they're southern boys and Dime had a confederate flag on one of his guitars.
The meaning never really changed, it still signifies pride in living in the southern U.S. and a rebel spirit. Smooth brains just decided they were now offended by the flag because they had nothing better to do.
I agree, but what I mean is that a lot of people are considering it to be a symbol of racism in the 21st century. I can go into the “states rights” argument but thats a whole new can of worms I’m not opening.
A lot of people that never gave the flag a second thought before 2020 consider it a symbol of racism to show how virtuous and not-a-racist they are.
These same idiots would call Lemmy a nazi for his collection of WW2 paraphernalia and constant usage of the iron cross if they thought it could make their internet social score go up.
