Anybody boycotting Amazon over DEI?

[JT-Money]

I cancelled Amazon Prime last year over their Union busting. Been buying locally ever since.

I haven't bought anything off Amazon in years so I might not be the best person to speak on this....

But what does Amazon have that you NEED to shop there?

I concede there may be remote areas where Amazon home delivery might be the only feasible solution or for those who are physically impaired or immobile

 

[Peter Popoff]

No

This.

They're Indians and cacs. I don't give af. I don't want scam shipments and fraudulent charges.

So we should be standing up for policies that actually benefit WP because they pretend they benefits us?

No, what we need to do is actually be informed instead of blindly following head lines.

By buying into the "optics" argument, you are reaffirming racist talking points.

Do I think DEI (done properly) should be apart of the work environment? YES!

But this is NOT our lesson to learn. The people who should be fighting for them are the people who benefit from them.

We are not the mules of this fukking country, to be the ones fighting for rights that we never even receive or benefit from.

Like I said in a previous post. I am only boycotting Target because they are the only company targeting blk retailers (that I know of).

We need to STOP acting like we are DEI. We are not and the country is learning that real fast. LET THEM LEARN.

fair enough.

i was just saying these companies should stand by their hires.

DEI barely impacts blk people. And these companies know this.

By equating DEI with blk people you are buying into a false narrative. These policies are for mediocre WP. There isn't any reason we should be blank boycotting companies for removal of DEI.

Amazon is extremely diverse and they aren't firing any blk people over this. I know many blk people in higher up positions in Amazon from people who work in the cloud to site leads.

EVERY SINGLE ONE of them worked their ass off to be there. They were not DEI hires and their jobs are not in jeopardy.

If you want to boycott Amazon for other reasons go right ahead. But the DEI is not the hill to die on.

Me: Recognizes the plague Amazon is and always thought they should be broken up.

Also me: LITERALLY earning Amazon Web Services certs built into my degree so I can live a decent life.

shyt is real sticky when it comes to picking what I want to support or not. Without Amazon, some products just aren't even available to me.

Unfortunately I'm heavily tied into Amazon so for me boycotting them is not an option.

However, Amazon easily succumbs to social pressure. So, if enough people given them shyt they will bend.

I can, have and do boycott plenty of other companies. That's what I'll continue to do.

All we can do is what we can do. But if Amazon workers decide to strike, I'll always support them.

Big truth here.

White women about to get that culture shock.

 

[™BlackPearl The Empress™]

This is why we need to fall back. They need to learn their own lesson. Let them learn.

The coli doesn't stand on business....

Not at all but will cry and complain about the same shyt every day

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

STRONGLY CONSIDERING IT. MOVING ALL MY SUBSCRIPTIONS TO OTHER APPS. I DID LIKE HAVING ALL MY SUBSCRIPTIONS IN ONE PLACE ON PRIME.

MOVING MUSIC SUB TO TIDAL
VIDEO SUBS ARE ALREADY MOVED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE APPS.
THE PRIME SHIPPING IS THE HARDEST TO LOSE. CAN'T FIND AN EQUIVALENT JUST YET. MIGHT JUST SAY fukk IT AND TAKE THE HIT.

i believe most shipping is the same on orders over 25$ so you not really losing prime shipping if you order smartly
and even if not, losing 2.99 to ship something is not necessarily "the hardest" thing when it comes down to morals and principles
