On January 8, 2014, Complainant filed a formal complaint in which he alleged that the Agency subjected him to discrimination on the basis of race (African American) and in reprisal for prior EEO activity when, starting in the fall of 2013, a coworker (C1) repeatedly wore a cap to work with an insignia of the Gadsden Flag, which depicts a coiled rattlesnake and the phrase “Don’t Tread on Me.”
Complainant stated that he found the cap to be racially offensive to African Americans because the flag was designed by Christopher Gadsden, a “slave trader & owner of slaves.” Complainant also alleged that he complained about the cap to management; however, although management assured him C1 would be told not to wear the cap, C1 continued to come to work wearing the offensive cap. Additionally, Complainant alleged that on September 2, 2013, a coworker took a picture of him on the work room floor without his consent. In a decision dated January 29, 2014, the Agency dismissed Complainant’s complaint on the basis it failed to state a claim . . .

Wouldn’t it be better to hang them instead?
We need some black conservative group to start filing complaints demanding that the Democrat Party and all of its literature, symbols, campaign materials, etc. be outlawed because of its exclusive history as the agent and facilitator of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, the Ku Klux Klan, etc.
The Democrat Party should be forcibly liqidated and its assets used to pay slavery reparations, as well as reparations to the descendants of Northern troops who died in the Civil Way.
Membership in the Democrat Party ought to be a permanent bar against holding any government job.
The ball cap could be considered a micro aggressive symbol since it was first worn by whites. COme to over think of it why are baseballs white? Oh my god, White Sox!!!
Civil War. Maceman regrets the error.
Well the Democrat donkey symbolism goes back to the era of slavery, when the Democrats were the party of slavery, so an easy case could be made that the party’s main symbol is itself a logo for slavery.
The Constitution and Declaration of Independence were drafted by owners of slaves. So leave and go to a country where they don’t have those documents or follow their principles.
At every level, our laws (and policies) are being shaped to cover every single exception, which is why idiotic things like this keep creeping up.
Laws should never take into account exceptions. Both the jury and the judge can nullify penalties for exceptions. ‘This is something that the law wasn’t built to prevent, therefore we’ll let it go.’
And honestly, the only way to clean up this national disaster is to start stripping out millions of laws and go back to the generic. Stop trying to twist laws to cover all exceptions and simply write laws simply.
It will take a gigantic effort and a very very strong leader to clean up this disaster, and there is exactly none in the House, and a couple senators which might have enough sanity left to actually do something.
Oh, and of course, eliminate the body of laws created by the courts and the executive and return law making solely to the legislative where it belongs.
“The pussy generation”
- Clint Eastwood.
SJW alumnae of Harvard and Yale should indeed burn their diplomas and denounce their ‘slave trade’ education.
Every single law, statement, principle,document etc from before the slaves was freed is “racist”. Obviously.
Oops - plus every single of the above created, made, or written by white people is racist.
I think I understand now.
Well this certainly shines a new light on everything does it not?
So, since the Gadsden purchase was conducted by Christopher Gadsden’s grandson, their must have been some nefarious racial purpose to it and it should return it to Mexico.
lynch the complainant and take photos for T shirtg
Any “white” surname common in America before 1860 could be construed as the same, since people of that name likely owned slaves somewhere, sometime. So my family name could well be punishable racial harassment. Even though some modern blacks “slave names” are the same as my ancestors’ names.
WE WILL NOT COMPLY.
That about covers it my Freeps.
Do any of these perpetually offended crybullies even know the story behind the flag and what it represented at the time?
"If a liberal, progressive, Marxist does not like it, it is racist."
I shall also give them my very short and trite answer to their lies, "kiss my butt."However, I might get a disease so perhaps they could give it an "air kiss" from a distance a great distance I must add, a 100 meters or more please.
Uh, no and they don’t care either. It’s only what it represents right not to their fragile sensibilities. CAUTION! MELTING SNOWFLAKES AHEAD !
“I am amazed at how stupidity is promoted and celebrated”
Amazed indeed. I thought that by now there would be a major pushback on all this PC nonsense and maybe it would be relegated to an asterisk in the history books.
Obviously not.
Racism and division of the races is the only thing that keeps democrats in power. They do not want hate reduced, they do not want the races to live in harmony. Without racial hate they can not be elected.
The democrat party and left wing Marxists such as George Soros are the number one number two and number three reason for racial strife hatred and death.
From this strife they derive power. It really is that simple.
