CEO of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, has taken to his Instagram page to share his reaction to customers mad at him for supporting the ‘Black Lives Matter’ (BLM) movement.
Apparently, since Amazon put up a post to stand in solidarity with the black community on their ‘Black Lives Matter’ initiative, they have been losing some ‘white’ customers.
CEO Jeff has stated plainly that these are customers that he is happy to lose.
According to Jeff Bezos, he had been getting several emails from angry customers because Amazon stands in solidarity with the black community.
One of his responses to a customer who found it offensive that Amazon had “Black lives matter” on their page reads:
“No, Macy, I have to disagree with you.
“Black lives matter doesn’t mean other lives don’t matter. Black lives matter speaks to racism and the disproportionate risk that Black people face in our law enforcement and justice system. I have a 20-year old son, and simply don’t worry that he might be choked to death while being detained one day. It’s not something I worry about. Black parents can’t say the same
“None of this is intended to dismiss or minimize the very real worries you or anyone else might have in their own life, but I want you to know I support this movement that we see happenings all around us, and my stance won’t change.
“My sincere very best to you.
“Jeff”
