Unfortunately, yes, it is. In the system we live under in the USA a solid 40% of people think a company that supports the idea of black lives mattering is a company they don't want to support monetarily.
I think that 40% already doesn't shop at Whole Foods, so even from the capitalist perspective it doesn't make much sense. Rational markets are a fiction, however, so Jeff Bezos's gets to dictate what happens regardless.
