COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — A black college student who drew complaints for 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."

Damn, that one is kind of young to be straying from the Democrats Plantation.

Kinda brings a tear to my eye to see such an independent young man.  Too bad his own race will now start their own brand of racism on him.
