Black family fires contractor who shows up to job with Confederate flag on truck: 'I cannot pay you'

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.”
Thousands watched the Ring footage and noted Allison’s decorum, much like Craig Brooks, a Holiday Inn Express employee in Austin, Texas, whose polite rejection, “It’s above me now,” to a customer who called him the n-word, went viral last month.
Initially unaware of Michael’s arrival, Allison was cleaning out her closet when Zeke walked into their bedroom and said, “God is testing me.”
Allison tells Yahoo Lifestyle, “When my husband told me about the flag, I said, ‘Let me handle this,’” adding that their college-aged son fled the house, anticipating his mother’s reaction.
“I didn’t want to be the ‘angry black woman’ but I wanted him to learn and feel that bottom-line loss,” she says. “You don’t go to Germany and wave the Nazi flag. It’s the same thing.”
Zeke, a manager at a health care tech company, tells Yahoo Lifestyle that over the course of three days, he chatted with the man about work logistics over Facebook messenger. “He hadn’t been disrespectful prior, so seeing the flag did not fit my preconceptions,” he says. “The flag was absurd — I had to walk back into the house to calm myself down.”
After Michael left, he messaged Zeke saying, “I didn’t know the flag offended y’all.”
In screenshots of the conversation on Facebook Messenger shared with Yahoo Lifestyle, Zeke replied, “Yes, it is extremely offensive to anyone of color. I understand it is part of American history, but that flag stood for a time in history where people such as myself had a very bad way of life...Micheal, I hope this small interaction causes you to do a little research on how several Americans feel about the Confederacy. I know it’s part of history, so is Nazi Germany...”
Zeke tells Yahoo Lifestyle that he hoped the firing would be educational. “I thought, ‘Maybe there is hope for someone like him or an opportunity to save him from this way of thinking,” he says. “And I wanted that flag off my property — as one of the few black families in our subdivision, what would the neighbors think of a Confederate symbol in our driveway?”
Michael tells Yahoo Lifestyle that he is a “redneck” and that the flag is for the Fourth of July. “My little siblings bought it from a flea market,” he says. “I don’t support slavery and neither do my siblings. But I am not going to take it down when my siblings asked me to fly it. If [the family] wants to take offense, they can.”

  3. Blacks and leftists in general, have been trained to trigger a reaction when seeing the Confederate Battle Flag. The flag has little or nothing to do with slavery. The Civil War was not about slavery, it was concerning the North's economic strong arming of Southern States. `The Left's twisting of historic facts in the educational system(education is all left-leaning now), is a deliberate policy to attack European civilization.

  4. That was a satisfying demonstration of assertiveness.

  5. The 1st legal slave owner in Colonial America was a black man named, Anthony Johnson, who owned a farm in Virginia with indentured servants black and white as his laborers. When their contracts expired he let the whites go but took the black man, John Casor, to court in 1654 to keep as his slave. He won in 1655 and that legalized slavery in the Colonies. slaves were legal and all owners were legal owners he was the first to use a court to declare an indentured a slave for life after his contract was fulfilled. Something to remember when assholes try to claim white slaves were only endetured servants. Which is bullshit to start with as Britain sold shitloads of Irish as straight slaves.

  7. All history is BS and the education system is used to implant 'triggers'.
    +50% of Americans still believe 9/11, OK City, Boston, and all the other crap.
    If they started to think it would cause pain.
    As Jack Nicholson famously said "You [they] can't handle the truth."

    Jews owned every slave auction anywhere in the western hemisphere, anywhere! All were always closed on the Sabbath, and jewish high days.
    You must buy and read the Nation of Islam's book, "The Secret Relationship Between Black and Jews". It outlines how the jews funded, managed and ran the North and South American slave trade. Every comment is backed by facts - ironically, mostly ALL from jewish sources. You can watch brief videos on Minister Louis Farrakhan. https://youtu.be/Ut7I75Q_-zA a good summation
    Jews were behind the Transatlantic Slave Trade... The names of Jewish Slave Ships and their owners: The "Abigail -Caracoa" - Aaron Lopez, Moses Levy, Jacob Crown, Isaac Levy, Nathan Simpson - "The Nassau" - Moses Levy The "Four Sisters" - Moses Levy The "Anne" and The "Eliza" - Justus Bosch and John Abrams The "Prudent Betty" - Henry Cruger and Jacob Phoenix The "Hester" - Mordeci and David Gomez The "Elizabeth" - Mordecai and David Gomez The "Antigua" - Nathan Marston and Abram Lyell The "Betsy" - Wm. De Woolf The "Polly" - James De Woolf The "White Horse" - Jan De Sweevts the "Expedition" - John and Jacob Roosevelt the "Charlotte" - Moses and Sam Levy - "The Franks" Jacob Franks Moses and Sam Levy Jacob Rader Marcus - "All through the eighteenth century, into the early nineteenth, Jews in the North were to own black servants; in the South, the few plantations owned by Jews were tilled with slave labor. In 1820, over 75 percent of all -Jewish- families in Charleston, Richmond, and Savannah owned slaves, employed as domestic servants; almost 40 percent of all -Jewish- householders in the United States owned one slave or more. There were no protests against slavery as such by Jews in the South, where they were always outnumbered at least 100 to 1....But very few Jews anywhere in the United States protested against chattel slavery on moral grounds." United States Jewry, 1776-1985 (Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1989), p. 586.

  10. Hmm.. If a white person had turned away a black contractor on a similar basis, there would be cries of discrimination and the white person would have been hit with a lawsuit.

  11. I tested some people by showing them the ACTUAL confederate flag. They thought it might be Puerto Rico or some other country. It looks nothing like the flag that the media has directed everyone to despise. They exhibited no reaction, other than not knowing which state or country it represented. Welcome to the era of manufactured outrage.

    ” To you Sons of Confederate Veterans, we submit the vindication of the cause for which we fought; to your strength will be given the defense of the Confederate soldiers’ good name, the guardianship of his history, the emulation of his virtues, the perpetuation of those principles he loved and which made him glorious and which you also cherish.
    Remember, it is your duty to see that the true history of the south is presented to future generations.” —
    Lt. General Stephen Dill Lee, Commander General, United Confederate Veterans, New Orleans, Louisiana, 1906

    “… Every man should endeavour to understand the meaning of subjugation before it is too late. … It means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the War, will be impressed by all influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors, our maimed veterans as fit objects for their derision. …to establish sectional superiority and a more centralised form of government, and to deprive us of our rights and liberties.” –
    Major General Patrick Cleburne, C.S.A. (Jan. 2, 1864)

    “We show our sympathy with slavery by emancipating slaves where we cannot reach them and holding them in bondage where we can set them free.” —
    Secretary of State William Seward
    ***
    “The Union government liberates the enemy’s slaves as it would the enemy’s cattle, simply to weaken them in the conflict. The principle is not that a human being cannot justly own another, but that he cannot own him unless he is loyal to the United States.” –
    London Spectator, 1862
