Black college Student Hangs Confederate Flag in his Dorm Room Window

A black college student who caused outrage by displaying a Confederate flag in his dorm room window said he sees the banner as a symbol of Southern pride and not racism.

The 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina Beaufort took the flag down at the university's request, but he said he's considering putting it back up after the officials relented.

Byron Thomas has drawn nearly 70,000 views since he posted a video online in which he acknowledges: 'I know it's kind of weird because I'm black.'

@REDNECKSTATE that's bullshit I live in PA and all the fucking rednecks fly that shit around, they are all racist, and called me a nigger lover all through school because my best friend was black, so fuck your heritage.

@Thebeautiful11 As a person who has a african american niece and also enjoys this flag, I see a flaw in your logic. Considering you assume anyone who has this flag is racist, without actually knowing everyone who has this flag. Isn't that the same as being a racist by stereotyping a entire group?

@kingboss9000 Agreed! I'm a Jew that grew up and live in the south, and my two best friends from 1st grade to this day is a Black and a Mexican. My wife is Black and so are my kids. Wow! Just think of how much these redneck inbred fucks will hate half Black and Jewish people. I agree with these two gentlemen. Fuck the Confederate flag and anyone who flies it. I bought some confederate flag toilet paper, and I only use it when I take the most rancid of dumps.
