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.


Why? If they do great work, who cares what flag they fly?

Agreed… but it’s dumb to not accept services based on things that have zero to do with those services.

Internet reaction if white person didn't hire black contractor who had a black power fist flag on their truck.


The internet would most likely call that racist, but that doesn't mean it is racist.

Unbelievable that it took this many posts for the obvious fakery to be noted.

Wasn’t this a couple years ago? Why is it getting reposted again and made to seem like it was today.

I can’t watch it right now.

It seems incredibly stupid to show up to a black person’s house with the flag if he actually wanted the business (although not sure we got an answer on reasoning from poster here about his black neighbors with confederate flag bumper stickers on their cars but that seems low odds of happening at most black homes).

It might not be as stupid if he didn’t want the business but felt turning them down would lead to racial discrimination claims.

But reading comments here it seems more like the former not the latter.

I just don’t get any of this nonsense. It’s a battle flag. Why is it on the back of your truck in the first place, except to rub it in peoples faces and get a reaction. Well, there’s your reaction. And I have absolutely zero problems with the soldier’s flag when it’s used in the appropriate manner, but that flag has been so misused for purposes other than things history related that it leaves it up to interpretation and people will interpret it themselves because it is so unclear.

At least six years ago. And it was talked about on here then.

The flag only carries the negative stigma among certain people because of uneducated morons.

if the flag were nothing more than multi-colored stripes or some other image such as the current Stars and Stripes, there would still be those denigrating it's existence as a hate-filled emblem of slavery and hatred.

look at the current "Peaceful Protests" taking place here in our own country.
the burning of the flag that has stood for freedom in this country and the emblem of freedom known worldwide tells you everything one needs to know.

tearing down Confederate statues and the like is insanity from the left and liberal parties, whether in Washington DC or democratic strongholds nationwide.

of course everyone is entitled to an opinion.
as an example, look at the racial issue that has filled the airwaves by the mainstream media.

you could say it's black and white but not everyone sees it the same or is able to get past the color.

They bitch about the prices and won't pay the bill anyway. Just saved himself a pain in the arse. Probably a good business idea.
