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 * l! \. W* @$ [' \. p
the statements about race he was accused of saying were true. * }/ o3 E& @* f
Statements like'... 'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish
8 w0 \3 }$ ~. O9 I' @2 }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 '
& C! C5 G, |$ L) {0 F6 A% p4 s7 c5 [2 F: W
His answer to Oprah was a simple ' YES' . ) l% _' e3 I2 |: e
Whereafter she immediately asked him to leave her show p7 `+ p) v$ t: e# |: v
( G8 ]( x5 d" e) O1 M) P
My suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger. ( f; _! ~6 n; W) ~. g
Let's give him what he asked for. Let's not buy his clothes, let's put
