TRUE STORY ABOUT RACISM

U may have watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show.

The 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 pink 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.
Stop buying any range of his (Tommy H etc) product,perfume,cosmetics,
clothes,bags,etc.,
'please do not Delete it without sending it
to at least one person'.

Oprah's Statement:
I've Never Even Met Tommy Hilfiger

'So I want to just set the record straight once and for all. The rumor claims that clothing designer Tommy Hilfiger came on this show and made racist remarks,and that I then kicked him out. I just want to say that is not true because it just never happened. Tommy Hilfiger has never appeared on this show. READ MY LIPS,Tommy Hilfiger HAS NEVER APPEARED ON THIS SHOW. And all of [the] people who claim that they saw it,they heard it it never happened. I've never even met Tommy Hilfiger.'

I think you live in a time warp. That's a very old show. It's more than 5 years old. It is no longer news.

@Pretty

Those remarks were made some ten years ago live on Oprah. It was big news. This new denial thing is recent. All the Tommy Hilfiger T-shirts in my house became dusters then and I never bought any other pieces. Tommy Hilfger ceased to be big. I doubt whether any of the people belonging to any of the mentioned races can touch anything from the guy in the US. He did himself in.


People ask why,I ask why not?
