Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2005 11:43:14 +0000
>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 fromTommy
>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. FIGHT AGAINST RACISM.
>
>The following 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 it 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.
