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.

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 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
also no 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 first
class."
At that 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
