Walmart store bakes man an ISIS cake after refusing to ice Confederate flag design

[fredjr82]

Walmart has been forced to apologize after it apparently agreed to bake an ISIS-themed cake for a Louisiana customer - just a day after refusing to create a Confederate battle flag cake for him.

Chuck Netzhammer submitted a request for a cake featuring a photo of the Confederate flag, with the slogan 'Heritage Not Hate' printed across it, to his local Walmart store in Slidell on Thursday.

The store reportedly denied his request, which was made just a week after the Charleston, South Carolina, church massacre. Bakery staff wrote 'cannot do cake' on Netzhammer's submission.

The following day, Netzhammer handed in a second cake request - this time, for a baked creation featuring an iced version of the Islamic State's black and white flag - to test the store's convictions.

Incredibly, Walmart reportedly baked and iced the terror group-themed cake.

Walmart should stick to white trash fighting in their aisles and out of the cake business.

I didn't know you could get a custom cake from Walmart.

This comes as a surprise considering you eat mostly man frosting.

Figures you get yours at Walmart.

Obviously the Walmart idiots are too stupid and uncultured to even know what an ISIS flags is or looks like. Misleading news story.

The workers are doing what they were told. Blame the Waltons.

Wait, are republican/conservatives/religious wingers/whateveryouwanttocallthems going to be complaining about not being served now?

To be fair, most Walmart employees can barely read English, let alone Arabic.

Wonder if they made the dildo version.

He should have said he was gay and the Confederate flag cake was for his wedding and then Walmart would have had to make it.

I always knew John Boy would cause trouble.

That's funny! I don't care who you are, that is funny!

That is absurd, but I actually was joking with a buddy the other day and asked him what would happen if a gay couple went into a bakery and asked for a wedding cake with the confederate battle flag on it. The sad thing is that we are quickly entering the realm where situations like that are going to start popping up relatively frequently as we continue to short-circuit individual freedoms to force feel-good outcomes. At some point, different "out" group's interests are going to conflict and there will be no outcome available that won't be absurd and arbitrary.

I was kind of thinking along the same lines. I'd imagine everyone protesting in Indianapolis is also lining up for this guy too. Should we assume the cake decorator is involved with ISIS too? I'm so confused!!

When reason prevails these issues won't be so difficult.

Hasn't it been determined that the customer "set up" the employee in ordering this cake? A lot of ignorance on part of the employee but he / she knew the old "feddy flag" was banned and was just ignorant of the ISIS flag. This country is full of folks like this. It's become rather standard operating procedure for many but it doesn't change the facts. Hell, I could probably fool a WalMart employee too...but first of all for that to happen, you'd have to get me into a Wal Mart store.

Just curious, how many on this board could pick the ISIS flag out of a lineup without google help. I know I could not.

I could not tell you exactly but I would know enough that a white and black flag with Arabic writing is one I just would not bake without finding out.
