STORY ABOUT RACISM
*I received this email today from a Dr. Charles Mills a member at this website and felt compelled to pass this on and I am wondering if anyone else know about this. I have heard about Hilfigur comments about his clothes were not made for black people*
(The Email):
Don't know if this is true because I did not see the show, but if it is
.

RACISM
1) 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. BOYCOTT.
PLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW. 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 Non-whites really play such a small part in the world.
Stop buying any range of their product, perfume, cosmetics, clothes,
bags, etc.
Please do not Delete it without sending it to at least one person.
