Don't really care what he puts up in his room, ain't my business.
But I would like to point out that I think people who fly Confederate flags and walk around with those comically huge belt buckles with slogans like "The Southshall rise again!"while wearing cowboy boots and enormous hats are often the target of intense mockery on my behalf.
Seriously, I don't know **** about fashion, but I can vouche for everyone I know: You all look like jackasses.
I don't see how a young American can have so much pride in the confederate flag. What is it about the confederate flag that represents you as a person? Why not the American flag? or your state flag? It seems like the people showing it are only interested in it's controversy.

I've found in my various travels in America's armpits (south), that in the absence of anything ot be proud of, a poor education, and fierce inbreeding . . .
Let's cut this kind of rhetoric; it's basically trolling southerners. You've got other valid points to make; stick to them.
I'm not saying the south is this wondrous land of intellectualism and economic bliss. I'm just saying that it is often criticized disproportionately or out of context of the national setting. Crime, poverty, racial strife is not limited too nor concentrated in one region of the country. Post civil-war the south was relatively poor because it lacked industry and had a large disenfranchised former slave population. However, over the years, industrial jobs have begun to migrate south and populations have dispersed throughout the country. Racism is not limited to anyone region. For example, for several years Pennsylvania had the highest enrollment in the KKK of any state. That's a blue state and its in the north. But the common held percpetion is that these problems exist only or disproportionately in the south. I just dont think the facts support that and I would like to challenge that assumption.

exactly. Been all over the country myself, west, east, north, south, it's all got a bit of everything. People just like to stereotype it all to hell.
