Just got from an E-mail of my Friend...
I want to share it to you guys... I want also to hear your thoughts about it....
=============================================
Good for Oprah! 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 upperclass 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. FIGHT AGAINST RACISM
Another True Story:
Scene took place on a BA flight between Johannesburg and London.A white
woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a blackman.Obviously
disturbed by this, she called the air line 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.
Let us show this disgusting species that every other person has a
right to co-existence in this planet and it is the likes of them who do
not deserve to exist. Do not patronize their products, and rebuke or
bluntly rebuff any misbehavior concerning racism. We are all equal in the
eyes of our Maker and that's the way we should treat each other.
