He probaly doesn't realize that but the NAACP does.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) says it will not lift its longstanding tourism boycott against the state despite the bill's success in the Senate, because an alternative plan placing the battle flag on the front lawn of the capitol is not acceptable to the organization.

The NAACP boycott against the state has been in effect since January.

Most African-American state senators had hoped to remove he flag from the capitol grounds altogether, but agreed to the compromise. Confederate heritage supporters also had to compromise. Many had said they would never have allowed the flag to be moved at all.
