RASCISM

Am 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 about race he was accused of saying were true.

Statements like: "If I'd know 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.

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.

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, Jews and Non-white really plays such a small part in the world. Stop buying all range of Hillfiger products, perfume,cosmetics, Clothes, bags, etc.

A scene also 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 than?

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 one seat in the business class. All the same, we also have one seat in the 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 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 then 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 the moment, the other passengers who where shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded.

Gosh....all wht can be said is "Some things never change in Life... "

Well, frenz...i am back from Muscat. Really nice to be back to India. Will be goin to college to collect my certificates.

    I stopped buying Tommy clothes a long time ago. He's known to be a racist. Oprah did the right thing. Proud of her. A greater chunk of Tommy Hilfiger's customers are African Blacks. As much he hates them, his major per capita income is derived from them. Shame on him

    That was an excellent example on the BA flight. Stereotyping and labeling that has been bestowed upon blacks and other ethnic groups is completely disgusting.

    Nice post

    Is the Tommy Hilfiger story true? When I first heard that I was shocked but someone told me it's a hoax...Dewdy please clarify - u may have first-hand info since u live there, thanks!

    If it's true well he's a good for nothing scumbag who has no respect for human race.

    As for the flight story I applaud the Captain and the hostess' humanity. What a disgusting woman that passenger was to judge someone by the color of skin. I have sat next to fat n old smelly ppl of all races but even then I was civilised to mankind...what a rotten attitude!

    Keshi.
