I saw a confederate flag that had a large white "3" surrounded by a white circle printed in the center.

Any idea what it signifies? If I had to guess I'd say 3-Ks but I don't know.

Tagged for interest.

I'm familiar with the one that has the KK crosshair thingy in the middle, but have never heard of a numeral 3.

Good call.

Was it slanted a bit, OP - like this?



If so, it's probably just a southern culture / NASCAR thing - not a hate thing.

Yeah, because the KKK has never used the confederate flag or variations as a symbol.
