Customer says Walmart will make an ISIS flag cake but not a Confederate flag cake

A man in Louisiana is asking for an explanation from Walmart after his request for a Confederate flag cake at one of its bakeries was rejected, but a design with the ISIS flag was accepted.

Chuck Netzhammer said he ordered the image of the Confederate flag on a cake with the words, "Heritage Not Hate," on Thursday at a Walmart in Slidell, Louisiana. But the bakery denied his request, he said. At some point later, he ordered the image of the ISIS flag that represents the terrorist group.

"I went back yesterday and managed to get an ISIS battleflag printed. ISIS happens to be somebody who we're fighting against right now who are killing our men and boys overseas and are beheading Christians," Netzhammer said.

"That's an ISIS battleflag cake that anybody can go buy at Walmart," he explains in a video posted on YouTube showing the sheetcake. "But you can't buy a Confederate flag toy, with like, say, a 'Dukes of Hazzards' car."

Walmart blames the employee and says the cake shouldnt have been made.

I am not going to say they are the best cakes ever but they are pretty decent.

And I'm sure all employees were aware of it. It is very likely that the employee in the bakery didn't know what the ISIS image meant. This is just a Right wing prick trying to create an issue.

He laid a trap, knowing well enough the bakers at his local Wal-Mart would have no idea what, exactly, they were making.

Not surprised it was in St. Tammany as well. It's David Duke/Scalise territory.

To be honest, I didn't know that ISIS had a flag until the CNN dildo flap.

If it is black, where did they get black icing? I've never been able to find black. Navy blue, I might could find. I was always told I could not have black icing on my cake for my birthday. It always irritated me. I finally gave up on it.

I see the hatemongers hate Walmart now. Let's see. If Walmart moves out of towns in the south because of poor sales from hatemongers, most towns will be left with no store to buy groceries, much less anything else. How do they think this is going to turn out for them? They need to grow up and get over themselves.
