Black Lives Matter Doesn’t Mean Other Lives Don’t Matter – Jeff Bezos

Amazon CEO, Jeff Bezos has come out to share an email he received from an angry customer who is against his support of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Bezos simply revealed that the sickening responses his support for the movement has attracted are not surprising in any way.

According to him, the angry customer is the kind of customer he is happy to lose because he will always stand against any kind of hate towards the black race.

He added that Black Lives Matter doesn’t mean other lives don’t matter.

His words, “There have been a number of sickening but not surprising responses in my inbox since my last post. 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.”

″‘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.”
