Confederate Flag-Loving Black Man Takes Racist Patriotism To Capital Hill

Do you remember that kid who went on YouTube to profess his love for the Confederate Flag a year or so ago? Well, Byron Thomas has taken his love for all things Dixie Mason to Capital Hill, where he is an intern for Tim Scott, the Republican Senator from South Carolina.

Given that he has just been on the job for fewer than two weeks, you would think the young man would simply get settled in and learn his job. But not Mr. Thomas.

He sent out an email–which was later sent to the Huffington Post–to fellow interns and staffers asking them to say the Pledge of Allegiance each day. The email is below:

Thomas seems pretty committed to America–the old one that is. Check out one of his recent tweets: byron thomas

His Facebook status focusing on the same subject is not any better:

It seems like this young man’s mind is still in slavery. SMH

Just when the fecal material is floating around signaling the end of the Republic, someone like this brave man flushes the toilet and you realize the fecal floaters are isolated cases, only background noise.

God bless him. A man who truly loves this country. He puts the race baiters on both sides to shame.

When people say “Southern Pride”, only liberals ignorantly claim that means a love for slavery.
