Anonymous Coward User ID: 38118176 United States 06/24/2015 04:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I sent one along the same lines... I am sad to hear that you have jumped on the band-wagon of banning the confederate flag. Society has over-reacted to an issue, blaming a flag, for something else entirely. I personally don't have a confederate flag, nor do I have a Nazi flag, or an apartheid flag, but I would like to buy products from a company that does NOT put their political issues above their customers. Where does this stop? Thomas Jefferson had slaves, and by selling his biographies does that make Amazon pro-slavery? No. So, should selling a flag that is part of our history as a country, and that was taken over by an radical supremacist group, make Amazon racist? No. Get off the band-wagon, or lose me as a client. I'm tired of this B.S. Distraction or not, the race-baiting is getting old. |

Epic Beard Guy User ID: 26240425 United States 06/24/2015 05:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I called the bastards. I was told that they were cancelling all orders for Confederate merchandise. I ask if they still sold Che Guevara T-shirts. Of course they do. Apparently they don't see a problem with glorifying a genocidal communist, but we can't buy a historical flag. FUCK AMAZON! Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.
