According to the flag and the general message, it is obvious that this userbox is not only pro-Confederate, but also advocates the re-secession and restoration of the Confederacy. Sundostund (talk) 09:29, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- Keep: Political userbox only. Not inherently offensive. Go to an RfC to develop userbox policy. Status quo is that if it is an ok userpage statement, is is an ok userspace userbox. SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:19, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- Are you seriously ignoring the fact that the flag is CSA-era? And it’s literally called “CSA”? Dronebogus (talk) 02:41, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- No. I can read the history. Userspace censorship is worse than this userbox. Userboxes like this can be read as honest declarations of the user’s POV. SmokeyJoe (talk) 03:01, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Userboxes with pro-Nazi content could also be read as honest declarations of the user’s POV, but somehow I believe that we simply wouldn't have something like that here. —Sundostund (talk) 20:56, 2 October 2022 (UTC)

- (Weak) Delete: /* Userbox:CSA */ It is very clear what southern secession this userbox is referring to. If it only supported a southern secession, which can be a desire driven by non-racist views like low taxes or other social/fiscal conservatism, it would be a keepable political userbox. But explicit reference to CSA alongwith its flag points strongly to racist views. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 16:51, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- Added (Weak) because SmokeyJoe's reasoning about reflection of user's POV makes good sense to me. —CX Zoom[he/him] (let's talk • {C•X}) 08:28, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Delete: per my votes on the other CSA userboxes, inherently divisive past the point of normal political disagreement. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/they)Talk to Me! 23:05, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
