TWO TRUE STORIES ABOUT RACISM

1) I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show.
1 o7 t( M0 V8 z# O$ n- D& t& ~; S; M0 j. s. S( O
Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if
# S+ `" f; \" G* w8 ithe statements about race he was accused of saying were true.
" ]: b/ @" ]; l* W7 M LStatements like'... 'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish ! N- I* E; f+ D: J* i7 j$ x
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 '
8 @3 [" s; q5 ~" s: Z4 y0 P& m6 d) x7 ^) v
His answer to Oprah was a simple ' YES' . 1 B" {2 t/ y3 M" l8 S
Whereafter she immediately asked him to leave her show O$ b/ z% \9 n, I2 p8 ~) K
- C8 Q) X; W/ E: n
My suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger. 7 y. f2 r9 a3 H6 n5 y1 ]/ M7 Q
Let's give him what he asked for. Let's not buy his clothes, let's put
& a4 n0 R+ z. c; M6 V. s- r7 GHim in a financial state where he himself will not be able to afford the 6 Z- T# M7 p, s& n
ridiculous prices he puts on his clothes. BOYCOTT.
x% p# F, w EPLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW..

Then send it to the whole community that's not white people and see the result. , A0 W6 W5 g/ Y' `' W4 M6 k1 H9 H
We have to see the result of unity. 5 e/ T, A) i5 N$ o

Let's find out if Non-whites really play such a small part in 8 u" q- G7 N) T! P: |, Y
the world. Stop buying any range of their (Tommy H etc) product, perfume, cosmetics,
