Good. He has the freedom to express his views as he sees fit, and she has the freedom to do business or not do business with whomever she pleases.


ETA: would love to hear the point of view from downvoters

What a dumbass for being in business and having that on your car. He can be all about the flag, that’s fine. But that’s bad for business in the long run I’d imagine.

I’d act the same way if someone showed up in BLM or gay pride gear to do work at my home. Don’t see an issue here.

It amazes me how business owners so often publicly link themselves to known divisive issues. No good can come of it.

Good on her.

Businesses should have no agenda other than to make money.

Be respectful. Smile and nod. Do your job correctly. Take no offense. Collect checks.

That’s it.

Beyond stupid. I assumed it was just a bumper sticker "flag".

He showed up to a black person's house with a huge actual flag flying off his bumper. I'm fairly right and that's just completely dickhead thing to do.

It was also what an Chevy blazer, let's pump the breaks on "truck".

Love it. The woman handled it well and explained in a calm, direct manner for why she wouldn't be utilizing his services. Free market at its best.

If someone is stupid enough to fly a Confederate flag on their business vehicle , they are too stupid to hire.

I wasn't expecting a giant flag on the bumper.

Idiot.

She handled it fine.

Both within their rights. They had a respectful, clear exchange about it and went their separate ways. People could learn a lot from that interaction
