Boycott RACIST Tommy Hilfiger

Got this in my mail. i just HATE racisim!

Sad that this still happens..
I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey show in Chicago where her guest was Tommy Hilfiger.

On the show, she asked him if the statements he was accused of saying were true [ regarding race. ] Statements such as "If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jews 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".

She immediately asked him to leave her show. A suggestion? Let him get 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. Spread this message to anyone you know. Spread it to the whole community and see the result. Stop buying all range of Hillfiger products, perfume, cosmetics,clothes, bags etc.

Following on with the racism theme, the scene below 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.

" Ma'm, 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. "

"Please Ma'm, be calm. " the hostess replied. "Almost all the seats on this flight are taken. I will check 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 economy class. I spoke to the captain and he informed me that there is one seat in 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 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 man, and said;

" Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class. "

At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had been witnessing, stood up and applauded.

This is a true story. If you are against racism, spread it.
