Amazon’s Jeff Bezos ‘happy to lose’ customers over company’s Black Lives Matter support

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos fired back on Instagram against a customer who sent him a profanity-laced message over the company’s support for Black Lives Matter telling him that he was “happy to lose” customers like him.

“There have been a number of sickening but not surprising responses in my inbox since my last post,” Bezos wrote. “This sort of hate shouldn’t be allowed to hide in the shadows. 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.”

Dave, whose last name was blacked out by Bezos, told the billionaire founder of Amazon that he canceled his order after reading its statement in support of Black Lives Matter and that his “business relationship with you is over.”

The statement that sent Dave into a tizzy read in part: “We believe Black lives matter. We stand in solidarity with our Black employees, customers, and partners, and are committed to helping build a country and a world where everyone can live with dignity and free from fear.”

Amazon has also placed a Black Lives Matter banner at the top of both its website and the main screen of its streaming video service along with recommendations of movies on racism and injustice.

Visitors to Amazon’s website can also click a link to read a blog post about the company’s $10 million donation to organizations “supporting justice and equity.”

Since the death of George Floyd, corporations have rushed to support Black Lives Matter and other social justice organizations to maintain their politically correct credentials.

BLM is an evil anti Semitic cop hating s radical group. I guess you could start a serial killers club and call it “Bunnies Make Good Pets” and these idiots would contribute to it.

Jeff Bezos also owns the Democrat propaganda rag known as the Washington (Com)Post. He’s also a putz who cheated on his wife of 25 years, sexting and having an affair with a married TV host, Lauren Sanchez.

I don’t buy stuff from Amazon. Bezos is a ghoul who treats his workers horribly, and anyway I don’t trust anyone who makes more money than I do.

Cherrypicking emails and virtue signaling. How brave he is.

Bezos, the loss of customers goes way back before your lip service to BLM was offered. You have sucked as a human being and an executive to your workers from Day One.

Creatures like Bezos are so incredibly disconnected from the reality on the ground. They’ve lost all sensitivity to the patrons’ daily hopes, struggles, & aspirations. And only when confronted by the bogus social “outrage” do they give a token amount of attention along with an amount of discretionary cash.

The pattern is so obvious. Fabricate a victim, scream really loud, point to the adversary, demand corporate compliance.

I hope you all understand why I continue to call out the major corps that are dictating the tone & substance of the news. Comcast promised $100 million to BLM. I have no idea what ATT promised. And no doubt Disney tithed a substantial amount too.

I have a narrow focus on telecom. I have no personal issues with Comcast & ATT, but I have a problem with federally licensed telecom controlling the news. The subscribers should not be subsidizing political agendas.

CNN is ATT
NBC, MSNBC, CNBC are Comcast

And for good measure, ABC, ESPN are Disney

Spend your cash wisely.

I’d respect Blue Origin more if they ever actually DO anything. They’ve tested and re-tested New Sheppard over 10 times with different vehicles. Start the tourist program already! Get it cheaper so maybe when I’m 60 I can do a sub orbital run.

The biggest corporations in the US have learned to talk left and pursue aggressive business practices. In this case Amazon is a virtual company. The more BLM and ANTIFA and looters in general make it unappealing and even dangerous to go to stores, the more Amazon sells product.

By speaking so contemptuously about customers who care about, Amazon reminds people that it is around, gets free publicity, and deflects any criticism from the left of its increasingly monopolistic position in the marketplace.

Look at the products that Comcast and other sell. Ask yourself if their business does better when people stay home.

There needs to be a campaign finance complaint/investigation into these donations. They are not going to a cause, they are going straight to the DNC and Biden campaigns.

S&P 500 stocks are hardly affected by retail shareholder sentiment anymore, almost to the point of irrelevance. Institutional ai traders have been the market makers for a long while.

There is a swarm of mental midgets these days.

I would have no objections to Black Lives Matter if it
was actually a positive effort to watchdog Black Rights.
Who would?

The problem is, it’s just another racist terrorist group out
to gain power and do as they please on the streets.

From what I’m hearing, it’s also a fundraising arm of the
DNC to boot.

It’s tax status is in question. It’s members participate
in riots, looting, arson, murders, and widespread assaults.

Bozos knows nothing of this, although it’s obvious as the
figurative warts on the reason center of his brain.

Glad to have us go. I would submit that Whites could bring
these fascists to their knees in 24 hours if they truly
wanted to.
