        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jeff Bezos hit&nbsp;back at an Amazon customer who sent him a slur-laced email in response to Amazon&#8217;s public support of the Black Lives Matter movement.</p><p>Bezos on Sunday <strong>posted a screenshot on his Instagram page</strong> of the email he received, which used the N-word several times and warned that the anti-racist stance &#8220;will ruin your company.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;I canceled my order and I know for a fact that I won&#8217;t be the only one,&#8221; wrote the customer, whose first name was Dave and last name was redacted. &#8220;Maintain your stance and we will watch your profits decline and laugh about it.&#8221;</p><p>Bezos replied: &#8220;Dave, you&#8217;re the kind of customer I&#8217;m happy to lose.&#8221;</p><p>The $150 billion man wrote that he posted the racist screed because it was important to make hate visible.</p><p>&#8220;There have been a number of sickening but not surprising responses in my inbox since my last post,&#8221; Bezos said. &#8220;This sort of hate shouldn’t be allowed to hide in the shadows.&#8221;</p><p>A day earlier on Saturday, Bezos had <strong>shared an email</strong> from another angry customer complaining about Amazon&#8217;s support of the social movement, attempting to explain why she was wrong for emailing him &#8220;ALL LIVES MATTER.&#8221;</p><p>“I have to disagree with you,&#8221; he said. &#8220;‘Black lives matter’ doesn’t mean other lives don’t matter.&#8221;</p><p>“Black lives matter speaks to racism and the disproportionate risk that Black people face in our law enforcement and justice system,” he went on.</p><p>“I have a 20-year-old son, and I 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.”</p><p>Shares of Amazon were up 1 percent Monday morning, at $2,509.05.</p>]]></content:encoded>
