TWO TRUE STORIES ABOUT RACISM 1) Im 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 Id 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. There is a suggestion emerging from this incident - Dont buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger. Lets give him what he asked for. Lets not buy his clothes, lets put him in a financial state where he himself will not be able to afford the ridiculous prices he puts on his clothes. BOYCOTT TOMMY HILFIGER. Stop buying any range of their products like perfumes, cosmetics clothes, bags, etc. Lets pass this message to non-white people and see the result of unity. Lets find out if we Non-Whites really do play such a small part in the world. 2) This scene took place on a British Airways 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. As almost all the places on this Flight are taken, I will go and 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. However, 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, I spoke to the captain and informed him of the situation•. Hence, 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•. Both the above are true stories. If you are against racism, please spread this message to all your like-minded friends•. A Humble Request - Please do not Delete this without sending it to at least one person
