The email sent by his customer named Dave to Bezos contains racial slurs and insults. Dave criticised Bezos and stated that Amazon’s decision of standing in solidarity with the protesters will ruin the company.

While Bezos did not reply to the email, he uploaded a screenshot and posted it on Instagram. The caption with the image read, “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.”
