1) I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey Show.
8 q0 `2 J( N$ H9 `* h( g% V1 e5 ?7 v, X, t
Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if
, c7 j6 R8 ]( k: z4 V1 mthe statements about race he was accused of saying were true. 9 x; `0 M7 j: T; a1 g- G: _4 B+ p
Statements like'... 'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish
7 i/ n* E, H4 e/ i+ ~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 ' ( s" V- J9 q' V: ^8 \
* H, a. O9 r' ?9 k( v; I" z L2 \
His answer to Oprah was a simple ' YES' .
5 C. g1 h) C6 v; lWhereafter she immediately asked him to leave her show
* i4 e, M- [+ m) `
4 U0 p. N8 {/ ` `* RMy suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger. 5 @( s) k& b7 N. |7 s
Let's give him what he asked for. Let's not buy his clothes, let's put

ridiculous prices he puts on his clothes. BOYCOTT.
