RACISM

In the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey show in
Chicago where her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. 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 (my clothes) 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.

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. If we are small, 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, Jews and
non-white really play such a small part in the world. Stop buying all range
of Hilfiger products, perfume, cosmetics, clothes, bags, etc.

A scene also took place on a BA (British Airway) 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 do 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 replied. "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 one seat
in the business class.



All the same, we also have one seat in the first class." Before the woman
could say anything, the hostess continued: "It is unusual 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 then turned to the black guy, and said, "Therefore, sir, if you would
like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first
class."

At the moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just
witnessed stood up and applauded. This is a true story. IF you are against
racism, please send this message to all your friends!

Hello,

The story about Tommy Hilfiger is just a rumor. I found out he never said those things. Last month he went on Oprah for real..here's a clip of it at Daily Motion..http://www.dailymotion.com/video/3382408 -AK.
