Federal agency says wearing 'Don't Tread on Me' hat could be racial harassment.

Wearing a Gadsden Flag hat to work could be considered racial harassment, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the government body that oversees “hostile work environment” harassment claims against federal agencies.

The iconic flag, which originates from the Revolutionary War, features coiled snake above the words “Don’t Tread On Me.” In recent years, it has become a favorite symbol of the Tea Party movement and conservative activists.

Earlier this year, the EEOC received a complaint from a “Shelton,” an African American, who charged that his employer (the federal government) had subjected him to racial discrimination when a coworker “repeatedly wore a cap with an insignia of the Gadsden Flag.” Shelton (not his real name) said he found the cap to be “racially offensive” because the man who designed it in 1775, Christopher Gadsden, was a slave owner and because the insignia was a “historical indicator of white resentment against blacks stemming largely from the Tea Party.”

The EEOC acknowledged that the flag did not originate with the Tea Party movement, and was created centuries ago “in a non-racial context.” However, the commission also found that the Gadsden Flag could be “interpreted to convey racially-tinged messages in some contexts,” citing as an example a 2014 shooting spree in which white supremacists draped Gadsden Flags over the bodies of two murdered police officers.

Of course it is, isn't everything? 

Or at least caused by globull warming....................

I don't think that was a racist act.  It was murder.  This whole EEOC ruling is just another example of how a single political party,
Democrat,  is such a danger to Americans.  Like Hawaii lives under the tyranny of a few, the mainland will become the same way.
I don't display any political stuff, because I live with animals that can do as they please with no concern for the law if you are the correct
race and went to the right high school.  I would fly a Gadsden flag here in Hawaii because it is the most appropriate.  There are snakes here
and we will bite, if Hawaiian Democrats don't back off ignoring our God given rights.  But for now,  I'm just a snake hidden in the grass.

I guess the Navy is racist then.  They fly a Gadsden on every ship. Wtf?

...yet a racially centered movement is not racist...claiming "everything is racist" isn't racist...  Who is the real racist when people keep trying to find an excuse for claiming racism?

This is hilarious! Now I have to order a hit and sticker for the hooptee to go along with my "stars and bars" hat and sticker. Just hope they don't keep this up.... Won't have enough room on the car!

it's about that time
