Jeff Bezos 'happy to lose' customers over Black Lives Matter message
Fox Business News ^ | 8 June 2020 | Fox Business

Posted on 06/09/2020 8:29:13 PM PDT by amorphous

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."

We've dropped way back on how much we're spending too. Next month's bill will set another record low for us. We go out of our way to find other sources, or deal with Amazon's vendors directly by going to their website, or locating them on Ebay.

I'm seriously thinking about pulling the plug on our numerous Alexa devices too.

A “discussion” to the Marxists means you say nothing about your own views, sit and listen to their nonsense, then enthusiastically join their cult. Anything else and you are a fascist who deserves to be eliminated.

Are you kidding? I’m glad I stopped watching NASFAG. there was a time when I made the family get up early for church so I could be home when the race started. Can’t tell you the last time I watched a complete race.

All these small businesses get burned down, meanwhile Amazon cleans up. Bezos is smart to back the arsonists.

The “institutional racism” that exists in the real world is anti-white racism in education and employment.

Feed the Beast, Bezos. Your business is safe for now, and the angry mob knows that you’re down for the struggle. It takes real courage to grovel and pander to racist thugs. Why don’t you move into a Black neighborhood now and seal the deal?

Nope- not kidding- it was sick- Dale Jr’s show the other night was all about pandering to the black community by insinuating that there is massive racism- then today I watched a race- and the crap that i posted about in previous post happened-

The lie that there is ‘rampant deadly racism throughout the police force’ has spread worldwide now- The lie has become the NEW TRUTH according to the lying left-

We are watching this world, and our country- get torn apart over a manufactured lie-

If Bezos is throwing support to BLM...he needs to do the same thing with whites, Latinos, Orientals, etc.

If he doesn’t...he’s the racist.

Bezos is a fool. His business relies on the existence of an Internet that may very well be severely disrupted in much of the country due to unrest.

It is the position held by all the fashionable billionaires and public facing big businesses. And it’s not about black lives.

Amazon Fresno warehouse three-alarm fire burns solar panels, stops work

https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/article242015301.html

To large extent, no distribution centers, no distribution. Tho many vendors maintain stock and ship from their own warehouses. But these vendors usually have their own website or an Ebay store.

Protesters blocking entry to distribution centers is another of Amazon's Achilles heels.

Just sayin' that Jeff isn't as immune to public opinion of his business practices as he may now think he is. And then there is the talk by many in government of breaking up his little monopoly.

Not that anyone besides BLM or Intifada knows how to loot, riot, or burn things down. But as Gerald Celente likes to say, "when people have nothing left to lose, they lose it!"

Divide and conquer - easy to do and one side, or the other, usually can be fooled into doing your dirty work for you.

You said that exactly correct. The only systemic racism in this nation today is against Anglo’s. I am sympathetic to blacks as the Democrats have set a weakened group of people and put them on a system that pays them to get high, drunk and make babies, for votes.

I judge no one by his color, but I do by his culture.

Bezos is an idiot. Ask his ex-wife.

Amazon is a great company with one weakness: trucks. Bezos rejected the opportunity to buy a truck company and now Amazon uses independent drivers who cause law suits every day.

its just pandering. Let Bezos actually donate billions to inner city or let CEOs resign for a person of color who may not be competent as they make their lower level workers, we had 30 internships and all were filled by people of color, if you were white male you had zippo chance but the top dogs didn’t apply the same to them
