Quick fact check: Amazon doesn't own The Washington Post, Jeff Bezos -- in his personal capacity -- does.
Distinction without difference... The sentiment expressed is still perfectly plausible:
Bezos despises Trump and is likely to steer WaPo to criticize the President above and beyond what would be fair
Bezos is likely to have purchased WaPo with tax-considerations paying at least a partial role — the other big concern, no doubt, was to save money on lobbying, by flat-out owning the biggest loudspeake
they're not going to stop criticizing Trump (who leads the Right wing party) unless Bezos tells them to (like the owner of MSNBC tried to do with Maddow until the ratings spiked).
And WaPo is by no means the biggest loudspeaker. If you think anyone but Bernie and a handful of others in DC listen to WaPo you haven't been paying attention to the makeup of our government.

When everything is racist having a conversation about race and calling people racist is retarded and a waste of time. Or do I need to go to a progressive university like Evergreen to understand your version of racism?
The irony of your post. It's astounding. Only one ignorant of history would think that the 4th box hasn't been opened... multiple times, recently and repeatedly throughout history in the US. Black American gun rights is a very rich history and a good example for why the 2nd is very important.
If BLM thinks that the other 3 boxes have been exhausted and that violence is justified, that is their right. Who are they going to direct that violence toward? Remember, everyone is armed and can defend themselves and

No, just don't be a racist.
How do I not be a racist if "everything is racist"?
