What makes you think he's a white supremacist? Or at all racist? He claims to have been wearing the flag over his face to make a point about the niqab (and his being against it), which to me implies that he thinks the confederate flag is a symbol of oppression of blacks in the same way the niqab is a symbol of oppression of women.
I'd say that's a false equivalence, but it certainly doesn't imply he's in favour of the confederate flag or what it stands for. Quite the contrary.
EDIT: And I notice that they're talking about hate crimes legislation maybe being applied so I'm wondering what the hell happened? It says there was no violence, but also that things got "heated". Just no specifics at all. He must have said something or made some sort of threat?
