Strongly Defends Confederate Flag on National TV
While the racist, anti-white, anti-gun crowd is tripping over itself to fuel racial division using the Confederate flag as a game piece, one black SC student is throwing them off their game. His name is Byron Thomas and he’s a student at the University of South Carolina.
Thomas was interviewed by CNN and to the surprise (and outrage) of the left, he strongly defended the Confederate flag for historical reasons. And he explained those reasons in a way that simply cannot be disputed.
We’re guessing Thomas will soon become the target of some of the most vial, racist hatred he has ever seen in his life. The left isn’t going to just let a black student speak truth to power without being confronted by their PC mobs.
Someone better tell him quick. Don’t get in the way of the war on white guys.
He must be Obama’s cousin’s son from a different mother….
Byron, let me give you some friendly advice. Buy a gun. You gonna need it.
No matter how hard the interviewer tried, she couldn’t push the young man into changing his views or saying something racist or controversial. Once she realized this, the interview terminated rather abruptly, I noticed. Or perhaps it was
just time constraints. Yeah, that’s
probably what it was…
: )
Good for him! I hope he has a strong stomach for all the hate mail from his ‘brothas and sistas’ he’ll be getting.
Does the term ‘brothers and sisters’ bother anyone else? I never cared for that. Even in church. It always sounds like the person who says it to me is about to butter me up for a favor or some money. Haha. Is it just me?
God bless you, Byron!
Nope…it ain’t you folks…
Nope…it ain’t you “folks”….that grinds me too!….
And McCain’s, “My friend”.
sorry for the double posting…
This nut bucket seriously troubled little dweeb “drunkenly described a scheme to massacre students on the College of Charleston campus”*, changes his mind “once he realized it has security” [people with guns], and wanders down the street to shoot up the next gathering place he can find without security [people without guns].
And the National Cultural Response is to make a flag DirtyBad?!?
OVERNIGHT??!?
How does that even happen?!
A thing like that might almost make one believe the mechanism for this was already in place … awaiting a Precipitating Incident of Convenient Crisis to *cough* pull the trigger?
naaah…. Tinfoil hat territory, that.

stay safe Thomas
She tried reeeaaaally hard to get him to express guilt over his opinion. Good on him.
“First of all, let me ask you why you support this imagery displayed on the confederate flag.”
How I long for the days of coherent news people.
Good links, TexasGunOwner
Absolutely!!! I’m no one’s “brother” and I’m only a sister to my brothers!
Yep, that creature, a major fraud.
I hope no one harasses this young man. Everyone should be proud of the honorable war service of their ancestors.

Roof also considered going to the hood in Baltimore, but didn’t have the balls. Roof is a cowardly psychopath, and the battle flag of the Confederacy had nothing to do with his crimes.
Really and truly, contrary to liberal and pc belief, the Confederate Flag is a symbol of heritage and homage to our ancestors who fought and sometimes died in the Civil War. We all shun those who use this symbol for hatred.
To remove the flag (and now commerative statues) denies honor for the fallen and denies the history of our country.
When I was in college many years ago, UGA decided to stop playing “Dixie” because the school was on the forefront of pc.
For many schools in the South, the song was used for firing up the crowd which then fired up the team. Nothing more, nothing less.
So, ESPN aired this in 2012:

Should ESPN be banned?
jclady – Am I to understand that you are freely admitting that you attended UGA? I couldn’t tell through the typing if you were saying this with the proper amount of shame.
Just pullin’ a little bulldog chain here ya know. I’ve got UGA surrounded, or the way they are expanding it has me surrounded no matter where I am.
Everyone knows the confederate flag had nothing to do with the vile act of Roof. On the other hand, if the Republicans who first began to capture control of Southern state legislatures had any sense of the history of this country and the history of their own party, they would have gotten rid of the flag years ago. And we would not be having this so-called national conversation today.
Once again, I read the posts on a thread and note to myself: ‘Man, I really love the women that frequent IOTWReport’.
You “guys” give me hope.
Truly.
Why should a bunch of intolerant bigots be allowed to denigrate historic symbols of an entire culture and heritage? A lot of good men (both black and white) fought and died honorably and heroically under the battle flag of the confederacy and they deserve honor and respect for their sacrifices to a cause they believed in enough to die for.
I’m personally not willing to capitulate to people that are too lazy and stupid to read and understand history. No one is being forced to “like” the Southern Cross flag and no one has any business trying to force their ignorant opinions or will on people who rightly honor their heritage and traditions.
Louis Farrakhan is already calling for banning the American flag now. All of this is ginned up outrage by leftist / progressives to forward the bogus “white racism / white privilege” agenda and our spineless politicians are too cowardly to stand up to these bullies. Succumbing to these jerks will only make things worse going forward.
He was wearing shorts, so let’s ban shorts. He was pictured with flowers, so let’s ban flowers. He wrote a manifesto, so let’s ban writing. MY GOD, HOW FAR CAN WE TAKE THIS?
The flag is hardly a symbol for an entire culture and heritage. Plenty of us Southerners love the South and our culture without the symbolic and emotional stimulus of the confederate battle flag. And however heroically Southern men died in battle, their leaders already denigrated the flag by the cause the espoused–slavery and disunion.
