“A trucker hat with the slogan ‘Black Lives Don’t Matter’ has been removed from sale on Amazon after numerous complaints about the item. Barrister Alexandra Wilson tweeted about the item at the weekend with a screenshot of it being sold on the website: “This is not ok. @Amazon why is this racist hat being sold on your site? ‘Are there no checks in place? This is honestly embarrassing,’ she continued. One person responded, saying: ‘This is shocking. It is racist garbage and never should have got on your site in the first place.'”
“By Monday the item, which cost £12, had been removed from sale on Amazon. But Wilson told The Independent: ‘It’s really disappointing that it took some time for it to be removed. Multiple people reported it and racist material should be removed immediately. ‘Websites like Amazon need to have better checks in place for both their descriptions and photos because this isn’t the first time something like this has happened'” – The Independent.
