Confederate Flag at UPS (on topic)

[Covemastah]

You can wear that hat as long as you wear a black face mask with it---but don't use blackface makeup. We have already had this discussion and face masks of other races skin tones are acceptable.

Like Archie & Barney Hefner ?

Nice red herring fallacy there with picking out Detroit, when initially you said both coasts and the north. By the way Mississippi pretty much ranks #1 in all three to my knowledge - poverty, racial segregation, education, and the rest of the southern states are pretty much near the worst, too. But go on with your southern pride, be loud and proud like a cat on a hot tin roof .

East Portland
Actually just fk the whole region.
The city was founded as a pro-segregation corner of the west coast.

Just a hat what's the big deal, if the dude is a good guy I doubt anybody is going to care.
If he is a bigot or racist it's not like the hat is going to hide that fact.

Four flags fly from my truck. The American, Confederate, Gadsden, and Trump's MAGA flag. I love and fly all four equally.

Let me guess, either a rusty, old crapped out Ford, or a jacked-up, coal-rolling Dodge.

IOW, a loser truck.

No but you can be stabbed.

Who's stabbing? Have you ever been outside of Philly or Pittsburgh?

The South has rose already ... the South controls Congress and the Presidency!

An estate on Palm Beach qualifies one as a Southerner?

If they want to, I’m ok with that.

I’m not into telling others what they should and shouldn’t do or call themselves.

I am Deadhead first, a Georgian, second and American third.
I don't care anything about Southern heritage.
I don't care about the Confederate flag at all.
I don't care anything about the American flag either.
Both are symbols of oppression.

Fixed

You know that’s not true. Someone from say, New York, will always be a Northerner living in the South. Lol.

I am a loader at a hub in Pennsylvania. Can I be fired for wearing a hat that displays the Confederate Flag?

I'm going to say yes because ups basically finds a way to fire people. Might consider it hostile work environment

I thought that statement was pretty weird at first cuz I'm right next door in Mass, and I can't imagine anyone caring what's on his hat.
But I've been to Hartford (UPS) many times, and I understand now. HIGH percentage of African Americans work there.
Just wanted to put the statement in some kind of context for anyone else who didn't get it.

Should have put Hartford instead of CT !!!!

 

[Covemastah]

Why test the water or shake up the pot ,, sounds like your looking for a problem ,,, just put on a normal t shirt ,, you want to test that reb shirt out for a reaction ,, put it on and go to a mostly African American club or bar then report back !

It's funny how southerners just happened to rediscover this pride in the confederate flag during the civil rights movement of the 50's and 60's.

"In the years after the war, the Confederate battle flag was probably less displayed than it is today. But after World War II, as I indicated, it had a second life. And that life was associated with defiance of the federal government and opposition to the Civil Rights and racial equality of the African American population in the South."

Why the Confederate Flag Made a 20th Century Comeback

Long live the racial segregation, endless poverty, starving children, and absolutely awful education system of the south!

Minorities segregate themselves now a days...don’t blame the south lol

That is true in many cases.

Freedom to choose will flip libs in their grave.

Why would you want to wear the battle flag of a loser?

I still see people walking around wearing New England Patriots hats,just saying

Neither. Chevy Duramax.

Neither. Chevy Duramax.

Still, jacked-up, tuned and rolling coal.

I'll bet your Bucks County neighbors love you.
