For a real lesson on how to handle a Confederate flag situation, Google how Dale Earnhardt handled it.


Spoiler alert: He wasnt a candyass.

Handled beautifully by both sides.

And I tend to side w/the homeowner. The Confederate battle flag has no place in modern society but you are free to display it.

He has every right you mentioned, but that was the stupidest thing for business. He KNOWS how black individuals feel about it. Take the shite down man. You can feel how you feel, but don't flaunt it in everyone's face.

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.


I agree with you. Only prob is they would sue you and prob make a few bucks or get you cancelled.

What did she do that was racist? She just said she didn't want to do business with him because of the flag.

That exactly why she is be racist. Imagine the roles reversed and dude didn't want her services bc of a confederate flag on her truck and she definitely be playing the race card 100%. Bet!

No problem with it. They’re both free to exercise their beliefs. As a business owner, however, I think it’s more prudent to avoid expressing beliefs which may, or inevitably will, alienate paying customers.
