Bezos, who’s also the world’s richest person, said that he did not intend to minimize worries anyone else has in their lives
Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos on Friday expressed his support for the Black Lives Matter movement in reply to an upset customer. Bezos‘ reply follows a customer’s email criticizing the company’s response to the death of George Floyd and the ongoing protests that have erupted across the United States against racism and systemic police brutality.
In an Instagram post, Bezos posted a screenshot of an e-mail from an angry customer who said it was „disturbing“ and „offensive“ that Amazon posted a message on its website in solidarity with the movement. The customer, whose name was blurred, wrote „ALL LIVES MATTER“.
Bezos in his reply to the customer wrote, „I have to disagree with you. ‚Black Lives Matter‘ doesn’t mean other lives don’t matter.
