So if you were a contractor, would you show up to a client's house with this flag?

Black family fires contractor who shows up to job with Confederate flag on truck
A black family fired an independent contractor they had hired for a job after he drove to their home with a giant Confederate flag affixed to his truck.
Allison and Zeke Brown of Atlanta, Georgia hired the man, whose name is Michael, to replace the brakes on their golf cart. When he arrived at their home on Saturday, an enormous rebel flag was attached to his truck.
“Hi, you know what, I do apologize, I know you’ve come from a very long way, but we’re going to use someone else,” Allison, 40, a radiation therapist, tells Michael, as captured in a video on her Ring app.
“She’s upset with the flag,” explains Zeke, 48.
“No, I’m beyond upset with the flag,” corrects Allison.
Michael offers to remove the flag, but Allison says, “No, you don’t need to take it down. You can continue to believe what you need to believe, sir. But no, I cannot pay you for your services. Thank you, have a good day.”

He’s an idiot. Keep that shite to yourself and don’t bring it with you to work. I don’t care what flag it is. I wouldn’t even let my employees ride around with any political stickers if they used their own vehicles. Just asking for it and you don’t want those people working for you.

They have every right to deal or not deal with whoever they want for whatever reasons they want

Nothing that happened in this article get me riled. The guy has a right to fly that flag. The home owners have the right to politely tell him they don't want to hire him.
But if I'm trying to make money as an independent contractor, flying such a divisive flag would not be on my list of ways to attract business. I don't think "smart, hard-worker" when I see a truck or home with that flag attached to it.

Nothing wrong with this exchange at all. She's complete justified in her decision and was mature with her response to him. Maybe he'll learn to be more careful with his political beliefs as they can and do alienate customers.

Dummy. A little common sense should have told him not to roll up to his black client's home sporting a six foot Confederate flag on his truck.

Perfectly handled. If more people would react this way and not go screaming to the news demanding social justice, things would be a lot better.

I know a contractor who got kicked off a job for telling the client he hated the Denver Broncos.

Seems like a very civilized, normal exchange. That's how it is supposed to happen.
The contractor is a fricking idiot.

O/U on the number of sister-wives he has?
3 is the target.

Dumbass deserved to get fired

Exactly how it should go down. One of them shouldn't be required to do business with the other. She can share with others and others can make a decision that is best for them.

Free market at work. Sounds like they were respectable enough. I have no issue with this.
Also the fact an affluent black family called a white guy to come replace the brakes on their golf cart ought to show how far the nation has come.

He was coming to her in disguise, to test her forgiveness and empathy.
An appropriate judgment will eventually be given.
