Angry Racism at its worst!!!

I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey show
where her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if the
statements about race he was accused of saying were true. Statements
like"..."If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish and Asians
would buy my clothes, I WOULD NOT have made them so nice. I wish these
people would *NOT* buy my clothes, as they are made for upper class
white people."
His answer to Oprah was a simple "YES". Where after she immediately
asked him to leave her show.

My suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger.
Let's give him what he asked for. Let's not buy his clothes, let's put
him in a financial state where he himself will not be able to afford the
ridiculous prices he puts on his clothes.


BOYCOTT. PLE ASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW. If we are s mall,
then send it to the whole community that's not white people and see the
result. We have to see the result of unity. Let's find out if Asian and
Non-white really plays such a small part in the world. Stop buying any
range of their product, p! ! erfume, cosmetics, clothes, bags, etc., etc

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scene took place on a BA flight between Johannesburg and London. A white
woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man. Obviously
disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess. "Madam, what is the
matter," the hostess asked. "You obviously d! ! o not see it then?" she
responded.
"You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to
someone from such a repugnant group. Give me ! an alternative seat." "Be
calm please," the hostess repl ied. "Almost all the places on this
flight are taken. I will go to see if another place is available."
The Hostess went away and then came back a few minutes later. "Madam,
just as I thought, there are no other available seats in the economy
class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is also a
seat in the business class. All the same, we still have one place in the
first class."
Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued: "It is not
usual for our company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in
the first class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels
that it would be scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so
disgusting." She turned to the black guy, and said, "Therefore, Sir, if
you would like
to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in f! irst
class." At that moment, the other passengers who we re shocked by what
they had just witness ed stood up and applauded. This is a true story.
If you are against racism, please send this message to all your friends;
please do not delete it without sending it to at least one person

Re: Racism at its worst!!!

In a January 2001 press release, the Tommy Hilfiger company denies that their founder ever made such a statement:



"The facts remain simple and cannot be disputed. Tommy Hilfiger did not make the alleged comments, he has never appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and, in fact, Ms. Winfrey herself, on her January 11, 1999 program, stated Tommy Hilfiger has never been on her show nor has she ever met him. "Most importantly, Tommy Hilfiger wants his clothing to be enjoyed by people of all backgrounds and his collections are put together with the broadest cross-section of individuals in mind. To reinforce this, he features models of all ethnic backgrounds in his fashion shows and advertisements."

Please post an article like this only if you are 100% sure about its credibility.

Re: Racism at its worst!!!

it'll also be good if people refer to the source of information like this. Credibility comes with the source.

These things usually come through chain mails. No one knows the source.
