record set straight.
not too long ago, i received this email (and this wasnt the first time i received the same damn email) and it was something like this:
“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, Jewish
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’ .
Where after she immediately asked him to leave her show..
My suggestion? Don’t buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger.
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.
Then send it to the whole community that’s not white people and see the result.
We have to see the result of unity.
Let’s find out if Non-whites really play such a small part in
the world. Stop buying any range of their (Tommy H etc) product, perfume, cosmetics,
clothes, bags, etc.”
and i’m thinking… well how can this be? because his fragrance “TrueStar” features Beyonce and what not.. so i do some checkin up and i find pics and even better! a Youtube video of an interview with tommy hilfiger on the OPRAH SHOW. all attached.. knock yourselves out guys!
and last but not least, the oprah show interview.
leave the guy alone la..
