A black college student has won the fight to keep a Confederate flag in his dorm room after school officials initially told him to take it down.

The University of South Carolina Beaufort told 19-year-old Byron Thomas on Thursday he could keep the flag up, after the freshman was told two weeks ago to remove it because of student complaints.

University spokeswoman Candace Brasseur told theBeaufort Gazette that Thomas was initially asked to remove the flag because it violates a student code of conduct discouraging bigotry, but the school’s legal counsel ultimately advised the university to allow him to display the flag.

When he was first told in November to take the flag down, Thomas posted a four-minute video on YouTube saying he views the Confederate flag as a sign of Southern pride, not of racism, and was not going to remove it. The video was re-posted on CNN’s iReport, where it has been viewed more than 70,000 times.

“It’s not racist for me,” Thomas, a Georgia native, said in the video. “All it is is a symbol that I see as a sign of respect, and people don’t want to see it that way.”

Before the school relented, Thomas said he felt his First Amendment rights were being violated, and said he considered legal action if he was not allowed to display the flag.

A class project made him come to the realization that the flag’s real meaning has been hijacked, he told the Associated Press in an interview. He said he wants people to carefully consider issues of race and not just have knee-jerk reactions to symbols.

“When I look at this flag, I don’t see racism. I see respect, Southern pride,” he told the AP. “This flag was seen as a communication symbol” during the Civil War.

Thomas said he also dislikes the term “African American” because it makes him feel like a half-citizen.

“I was not born in Africa, I was born in Augusta, Georgia,” he said in the video.

Thomas said he’s received a huge outpouring of support since the ordeal began.

“I’ve been getting a lot of support from people. My generation is interested in freedom of speech,” Thomas said.

He said he talked to his parents — who grew up amid the Civil Rights movement — once the uproar started and said they weren’t happy about his decision to display it, though that probably won’t keep him from putting it up again.

“I don’t want to make my parents mad,” he said. “I may wait until Monday to put it up.”

Hes not illiterate, hes a college student. Im sure whatever reasons he has to want to display a flag must be much more deeper than an "Uncle Ruckus" Im not a southerner and have no connection to that flag whatsoever, but that Kid is In South Carolina right? thats a Southerner's Flag, so maybe hes got some reasons. If i remember correctly your from Oakland California, so maybe hes got some reasons you wouldnt understand. Hey, but its your right to be intolerant, and anybody has a right to have a flag in their room, wether its a US Flag, confedrate, ISIS or Black panther party, it doesnt matter , they are only objects to be seen subjectively by the owner

 

[IsaacNewton]

Go read about Patty Hearst. Or what Stockholm syndrome is. (I know you won't because it requires effort)

There were Jews during World War 2 that worked for and helped the Germans against other Jews. Does that mean the Nazis didn't hate the Jews and didn't commit the holocaust.

No.

But a desperate racist will cling to any explanation they can find that SEEMS to make their beliefs noble.

 

[Ernie S.]

Godwins Law invoked YOU LOSE.

 

[IsaacNewton]

Sorry, historical facts are historical facts. You of course don't understand context so you gleefully run off the cliff.

Here's another. The Nazis invaded Poland. Oh, but of course you'll invoke 'you can't talk factually about Nazi Germany if I say you can't cuz the internet says so'.

Go have a cookie.

 

[Ernie S.]

So a black college kid is a victim because he takes pride in his Southern heritage?
Are "wiggers" victims of Stokholm Syndrome as well?

My GOD!!!! is there any group you think should toe the Liberal line that isn't a victim?

Thats old news. That there is a future Uncle Ruckus who is illiterate beyond his years.

A liberal refers to a black college student as "Uncle Ruckus and illiterate beyond his years". A conservative refers to a black man trashing Baltimore as a thug based on his behavior that the whole world can see. The Conservative is called a racist.
