Walmart to world: sorry for making an ISIS cake

ISIS Cake

While the Confederate flag continues to be the subject of bans across North America, one Louisiana man who supports “heritage, not hate” has a bone to pick with Walmart.

Chuck Netzhammer requested his local Walmart decorate a cake for him in the shape of the Confederate flag and was outraged when he was refused, reports The Daily Caller.

Netzhammer decided to try another controversial symbol, the ISIS battle flag, and was shocked when his cake came back, in full piped-icing glory. In an uploaded YouTube video seen more than 500,000 times since last Friday, Netzhammer shows the cake, along with what he originally wanted – the Confederate flag with the slogan “History not hate.”

““WTF Walmart! ISIS is beheading Christians, selling little girls into slavery, and is currently a terrorist org at war with the United States,” he wrote in the caption to his YouTube video. “But you can’t buy the General Lee toy car at Wallmart[sic]? It’s a damn shame.”

A rep from Walmart has since explained to The Daily Caller that the “associate didn’t recognize what that image was and what it meant,” and that otherwise it “wouldn’t have been made.”

In late June, several American retailers including Walmart, Target, and Amazon, announced they would pull all merchandise featuring the Confederate flag.
