this is a article tat ive found from friendster.....
Message: I'm sure many of you watched the recenttapingof the Oprah Winfrey show where her guestwas Tommy Hilfiger.On the show, she asked him if the statementsabout race he was accused of saying weretrue. Statements like: "If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish and Asianswould buy my clothes, I WOULD NOT havemade them so nice. I wish these people would*NOT* buy my clothes, as they are made forupper class white people." His answer to Oprahwas a simple "YES". Where after sheimmediately asked him to leave her show.My suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt orperfume from Tommy Hilfiger. Let's give himwhat he asked for. Let's not buy his clothes,let's put him in a financial state where hehimself will not be able to afford the ridiculousprices he puts on his clothes.>>> BOYCOTT. PLEASE SEND THISMESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW <<>>>> Scene took place on a BA flight betweenJohannesburg and London. A white woman,about 50 years old, was seated next to a blackman. Obviously disturbed by this, she called theair Hostess. "Madam, what is the matter," thehostess asked. "You obviously do not see itthen?" she responded. "You placed me next toa black man. I do not agree to sit next tosomeone from such a repugnant group. Giveme an alternative seat." "Be calm please," thehostess replied. "Almost all the places on thisflight are taken. I will go to see if another placeis available." The Hostess went away and thencame back a few minutes later. "Madam, just asI thought, there are no other available seats inthe economy class. I spoke to the captain andhe informed me that there is also a seat in thebusiness class. All the same, we still have oneplace in the first class." Before the womancould say anything, the hostess continued: "It isnot usual for our company to permit someonefrom the economy class to sit in the first class.However, given the circumstances, the Captainfeels that it would be scandalous to makesomeone sit next to someone so disgusting."She turned to the black guy, andsaid, "Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, pleasecollect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you infirst class." At that moment, the otherpassengers who were shocked by what theyhad just witnessed stood up and applauded.>>> Don't be selfish. Let others read. Post it in ur bulletin.
