Oprah Winfrey Show Incident
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 ifthe statements about race he was accused of saying were true.Statements like"..."If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewishand Asians would buy my clothes, I WOULD NOT have made them so nice. Iwish 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 putHim in a financial state where he himself will not be able to afford theridiculous prices he puts on his clothes. BOYCOTT.PLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW. We have to see theresult of unity.Let's find out if Non-whites really play such a small part inthe world. Stop buying any range of their product, perfume, cosmetics,clothes, bags, etc.,

Scene took place on a British Airways flight between Johannesbur g 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 isthe matter," the hostess asked. "You obviously do not see it then?" sheresponded. "You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next tosomeone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat.""Be calm please," the hostess replied. "Almost all the places on thisFlight is taken.I will go to see if another place is available." The Hostess wentaway and t hen came back a few minutes later. "Madam, Just as I thought,there are no other available seats in the economy class. I spoke to thecaptain and he informed me that there is a seat in the business class.All the same, we still have one place in the first class." Before the womancould say anything, the hostess continued: "It is not Usual for ourcompany to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the firstclass. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would bescandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting." Sheturned 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 hadJust witnessed stood up and applauded.
