Amazon founder Jeff Bezos responded to a profanity-laced email from a customer who criticized the company's support for the Black Lives Matter movement and said he would take his business elsewhere.
His reaction? Good riddance.
"This sort of hate shouldn't be allowed to hide in the shadows," Bezos wrote Sunday on Instagram with a screenshot of the email from someone named Dave. "It's important to make it visible. This is just one example of the problem. And, Dave, you're the kind of customer I'm happy to lose."

Soon-to-be Trillionaire.
Plenty of big corporations have made it perfectly clear time and time again that they don’t care about losing right-wing customers.
Hopefully he won’t find trust-busting quite as amusing.
I do not (ever) advocate the use of profanity, let alone in an online response that exists forever. That said, the sheer hubris of the answer (essentially, drop dead) is, while not astonishing, revealing.
Amazon is a company. They have a right as a company to make their own decision and make their preferences clear. I, as a customer, also have the right to choose whom I spend my dollars with. While not a massive spender on Amazon, my spending is dropping down to effectively zero. There are other options, they just take a little more time and effort and money to reach.
If you did not have yet another reason to support small, local businesses, here you go.
I don’t think Jeff will go hungry without Dave as customer.
How was it known it was “right wing” customer? So they are not allowed to voice their views and be “right wing,” whatever that means?
Maybe there is a cake he made or black face image of him somewhere.
“Hopefully he won’t find trust-busting quite as amusing.”
How would that hurt Bezos?
That’s that. No more Amazon Prime for me.
Well, naturally they picked one of the worst ones, with lots of profanity, to make their point.
Nascar is big into the St Floyd meme right now- they stopped a race and made everyone remain silent for 1 minute or so while the race official or whatever he was, took a knee- The beginning of the races now have several of the racers lecturing everyone about how we must all deal with the racism in the country now-
All the while ignoring he FACT that blacks and white liberal race agitators are going around murdering white folks, burning their stores to the ground, beating the hell out of the elderly who support trump or don’t bow a knee to them, running over police, shooting police- etc etc etc-
You want a ‘discussion’ about racism? Then confront the racists- the blacks and Antifa race agitators! We’re not the ones murdering people, the police- burning and looting!
very disgusted with Nascar right now!
I hear you, but we’ve seen this in other areas and no one on the Right ever steps up.
But nooo. Their distribution centers are in suburban areas.
White liberals who support BLM, social justice, wokeness, etc. are themselves the ones who want white supremacy. Because what's going to happen is that more and more mainstream, regular white folks are going to get pissed off and simply stop associating or do business with blacks, which will create a downward spiral and then at the end of it, the very white liberals who pretended to be the champions of blacks will turn their backs on blacks too and blacks will be totally screwed.
The “institutional racism” that exists in the real world is anti-white racism in education and employment.
About the only thing that would upset Jeff Bezos would be if he were prevented from having highly skilled, armed bodyguards or if he was unable to trust them. That would cause him real unhappiness and anxiety.
