“#Amazon selling Confederate costumes after Party City pulls from shelves<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n They\u2019re not following suit.<\/p>\n

Amazon continues to sell Confederate-theme<\/a>d costumes following an uproar that caused brick-and-mortar stores to yank them from shelves.<\/p>\n

The e-commerce giant\u2019s website features listings for a smorgasbord of \u201cCivil War\u201d-themed attire emblazoned with the Confederate flag<\/a>. Multiple childrens\u2019 getups are modeled after Robert E. Lee, the Southern general<\/a> whose statue was recently evicted, along with other Confederate monuments, from the Virginia Capitol in the name of racial sensitivity.<\/p>\n

In the past, Amazon has sparked outrage over listings for a shoe with the N-word in its description as well as a T-shirt mocking the death of George Floyd. Both have since been scrapped from the site.<\/p>\n

The news<\/a> comes a week after Party City said it would remove two Confederate Halloween costumes from \u201call retail locations ASAP.\u201d They were alerted to their existence after a mother of two black girls posted a Facebook<\/a> pic of the controversial attire, which she encountered while holiday shopping at an outlet in Arlington, Virginia.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Confederate flag to me is a symbol of racism,\u201d the woman, Caroline Brasler, said. \u201cTo have that out there for a child to wear on Halloween sends so many horrible messages.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Party City representative added that the store in question was a franchise operation and that the costume isn\u2019t available at any of the company\u2019s corporate-owned branches.<\/p>\n

Nonetheless, the party supply purveyor pledges to \u201cdo better\u201d at supporting \u201cefforts in inclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe do not tolerate racism or hatred of any kind, and we stand together in solidarity with our diverse colleagues, customers and communities,\u201d said the spokesperson.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
