TWO TRUE STORIES ABOUT RACISM

1) I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show.

Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if & o' O9 v3 h+ P* H0 z! w
the statements about race he was accused of saying were true. 2 S5 {$ M- r1 e
Statements like'... 'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish " ]) K; L. C# h2 s% h
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 ' 8 r; g, k) F" v! L" C
7 c' g) d* X& b- i+ a; R* Z2 F* t
His answer to Oprah was a simple ' YES' .
; l3 X; V. W9 u5 Y4 m( Q2 TWhereafter she immediately asked him to leave her show
* c7 B1 s2 m/ S" ~& d1 Q
! A' g* |5 k; |% D; A9 D& NMy suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger. $ u" B& ^9 M" S" c; Y1 G
Let's give him what he asked for. Let's not buy his clothes, let's put
