Flags

Flag	Image	Notes
Confederate battle flag/ Confederate States Navy jack (1863–1865)		Although this was not the national flag of the Confederate States of America, it was later used by racist groups to attack Black people in the American South. This flag is also commonly-known as the "Rebel flag".
Flag of South Africa (1928–1994)		During the time when the flag was used, South Africa implemented the apartheid system, which ordered all Black citizens to use poor-quality facilities, making life more difficult and dangerous for Black and Coloured South Africans. It was used by racist groups to show their opposition to multiculturalism and hatred of non-White people.
Flag of Rhodesia		During the time when the flag was used, Rhodesia was ruled by a white minority government that denied political rights to the Black majority and enforced racial segregation. The flag has since been used by racist and white supremacist groups to promote opposition to racial equality and nostalgia for colonial rule and minority domination.
Vinland flag		The Vinland flag was appropriated by racist groups from English-speaking parts of Canada and America to represent their Norse origins. It is also used by non-racists, including fans of the flag's designer, Peter Steele, and his gothic metal band, Type O Negative.
Volksfront flag
Imperial German Reichskriegflagge		This flag is used by modern Neo-Nazis, especially in Germany and the United States, to bypass the legal ban of the Nazi flag. Because of this usage, its use is considered as a crime within seven states in Germany. In the other nine German states, misuse of the flag for fascist purposes is punishable with a fine.
Nazi Party flag		As the flag of Nazi Germany, it has become notorious in the Western world as representative of the exterminations under the Holocaust, and Nazi hatred of other races and people considered "weak" or "inferior".
