Your site is very informative and helpful (to those who read it ) and makes a great response when I receive this hurtful or just plain annoying garbage. Thanks! << I'm 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 I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, jews 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". > Whereafter, she immediately asked him to leave her show. My suggestion? Let's give him what he asked for. Let's not buy his >clothes! let's put him in a financial state where he himself will not be able to afford the ridiculous prices he puts on his clothes. >BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! > PLEASE SEND THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO SPENDS THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON CLOTHES MADE BY SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT RESPECT THEM AS A PERSON OR A PEOPLE! > >>
