Video of young black man snatching Confederate flag goes viral, police made aware

“No flagging right here.”

Those four words in a video posted to Facebook Saturday have spread all over social media and attracted nearly five million views.

The video shows a young black man getting out of a car and running across a property to remove a Confederate flag. The ‘trend’ has even spawned a hashtag: #NoFlaggingChallenge.

After the man jumps up to take the flag down, he runs back into the car where another man is waiting to drive off.

The video is very similar to another young man leaving a car during a traffic jam and removing a Confederate flag off of a truck in front of him.

The original video was posted by Jamari Williams on Facebook Saturday:
