Buzzfeed News is reporting that Amazon has removed a number of items from its website that promoted racism, white supremacy and hate crimes.


After pressure from Rep. Keith Ellison of Minnesota, corporate giant Amazon has removed items being sold by hate groups identified Southern Poverty Law Center and the Action Center on Race and the Economy. Some of the items included, a cross burning infant onesie, a "noose" costume and multiple items with confederate flags and nazi symbols..

Amazon told Buzzfeed:

Sellers are expected to comply with our policies, and we immediately investigate any reported violations. The items referenced by Rep. Ellison were previously reviewed, and we removed those that violated our policies well before we received his letter.

Brian Huseman, Amazon's VP of public policy added the company has a firm policy on selling any items that promote hate, violence, or racial, sexual and religious intolerance. He added:

Amazon has reviewed the products and content referenced in your letter, and we have removed those listings, and permanently blocked the seller accounts found to be in violation of our policies. We have restricted the inventory to prevent it from being sold and are in the process of removing it from our fulfillment centers.


But some weren't feeling that forgiving.








People felt this was only the start and much more could be done.



Here are some other hate promoting items being offered.

Fox Host Slams Dem For Dropping An F-Bomb After Praising Trump For The Same Thing Just Minutes Earlier

Fox News host Emily Compagno was criticized after she praised Donald Trump's use of the "f-bomb" earlier this week before condemning Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett's use of the same word—on the same episode of her show, no less.

Trump made headlines this week after admonishing Israel and Iran for violating a ceasefire agreement he'd announced on Truth Social. Although he claimed the ceasefire had been "agreed upon," Iran fired at least six missile barrages at Israel after it was supposed to take effect.

State Department Slammed After Requiring Visa Applicants To Make All Social Media Posts Public For Vetting

The State Department is facing harsh criticism after it announced that anyone applying for an F, M, or J nonimmigrant visa will need to disclose all social media profiles from the last five years, requiring that all applicants set their posts to public so they can be properly vetted by its agents.

The agency said the new rules are part of a new screening process aimed at identifying individuals who may pose a threat to U.S. national security. According to the department, failure to comply could result in a denial, and consular officers have been instructed to flag signs of “hostility” toward the U.S.—though the criteria for such determinations remain vague.
