RACISM

                             

                                        RACISM

I am sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey
 show in Chicago 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.
 

 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. If we are small,
 then send it to the whole community that's not white people and see
 the result. We! have to see the result of unity. Let's find out if
 Asian, Jews and Non-white really plays such a small part in the world.
 Stop buying all range of Hilfiger products, perfume, cosmetics,
 Clothes, bags, etc.
   
 A scene also took place on a BA (British Airway) 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 than?" 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 one seat in the business class. All the same, we also have one
 seat in the first class." Before the woman could say anything, the
 hostess continued: "It is unusual 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 then 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 the moment, the other passengers who where 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.
