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: quote - "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". -unquote;
His answer to Oprah was a simple quote-"YES" unquote;. Where after she
immediately asked him to leave her show.
Suggestion? 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 and Non-white really play such a small part in the world.
Stop buying any range of their product, perfume, 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 do not see 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
message to all your friends, please do not delete it without sending it to
at
least one person...
