DeAndre Harris has been the symbol for the victims of the Charlottesville rally. Pictures of the attack on him have appeared in all the major papers, and at least twice in the NYT. He is portrayed as the innocent victim of white hate. He even pulled in $166k on his GoFundMe to help cover medical bills.
I saw this video on 4chan that shows, as far as I know, a previously unreported angle: [

It clearly shows the beginning of the incident from a new angle. It shows an unidentified black man grabbing a confederate flag, and then DeAndre attacks the man with the flag.
I'd post it on YouTube, but I must actively and continually condemn racists in lock-step with the left so I'm not smeared as a racist myself.
For the record, as a deeply religious person, I am in agreement with Colossians 3:8-11 in what it says about things like hatred and slander, and a colorblind approach to race. I'm just waiting the day when posting these values gets me labeled as The Other:
"But now you also, put them all aside: anger, wrath, malice, slander, abusive speech from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you laid aside the old self with its practices, and have put on the new self who is being renewed to a true knowledge according to the image of the One who created him— in which there is no Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and freeman, but Christ is all, and in all."
