TWO TRUE STORIES ABOUT RACISM

! N( n- q; Q0 {1) I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show. " f4 {5 Q6 s. K% v, ^7 Y; E" W* d
7 W& w' }3 h; L3 I1 @& @Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if 6 D4 n( o! H4 r$ F
the statements about race he was accused of saying were true. 0 j; c V+ B6 k9 R$ I. O3 B
Statements like'... 'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish + k$ E t! H) B r- b0 w
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 '
1 ]9 @8 S# X8 E# D4 j2 x0 j, Q4 _" A/ s$ k4 ~* \' g" Z- D* J
His answer to Oprah was a simple ' YES' . 5 `/ `, }' e9 D# e. i
Whereafter she immediately asked him to leave her show . l+ ^) J( \& R3 P! d, p

My suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger. ( V* M X" U4 M$ g2 O
Let's give him what he asked for. Let's not buy his clothes, let's put
c* ~( z: o$ \. _# oHim in a financial state where he himself will not be able to afford the $ n" R2 k' r Z) ?
ridiculous prices he puts on his clothes. BOYCOTT.

2) 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. 1 u; z, m" p3 `! V M: w
Obviously disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess.. 3 T: b* N9 t( J
'Madam, what is the matter,' the hostess asked. ' / C% X% d, P% l3 ^6 }8 M3 R
You obviously do not see it then?' she responded. '

I will go to see if another place is available.' The Hostess went * n: \4 ?3 M" _: |
away 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 the captain and he informed me that there is a seat in the business class.

could say anything, the hostess continued: 'It is not Usual for our

turned to the black guy, and said, 'Therefore, Sir, if you would like to, & p$ h! y8 X- W' ]9 J' q
please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first class.' / D8 d4 s9 J1 v" w
At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just witnessed stood up and applauded. / u' w5 P2 Q& g2 `/ ?, o2 E' ^
