"SAD THAT THIS STUFF STILL EXISTS"

I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of the Oprah Winfrey show in
Chicago 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.
If we are small, 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
Asian, Jews and Non-white really plays such a small part in the world.Stop
buying all range of Hillfiger products, perfume, cosmetics, clothes, bags,
etc.

A scene also took place on a BA flight between Johannesburg and London. A
white woman, about 50 years old, was seated next to a black man. Obviously
disturbed by this, she called the air Hostess. "Madam, what is the
matter," the hostess asked. "You obviously do not see it then?" she
responded. "You placed me next to a black man. I do not agree to sit next to
someone from such a repugnant group. Give me an alternative seat."
"Be calm please," the hostess replied. "Almost all the places on this flight
are taken. I will go to see if another place is available." The Hostess went
away and then 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 one seat in the business class. All
the same, we also have one seat in the first class.

"Before the woman could say anything, the hostess continued: "It is unusual
for our company to permit someone from the economy class to sit in the first
class. However, given the circumstances, the captain feels that it would be
scandalous to make someone sit next to someone so disgusting"
She then turned to the black guy, and said, "Therefore, Sir, if you
would like to, please collect your hand luggage, a seat awaits you in first
class."

At that moment, the other passengers who were shocked by what they had just
witnessed stood up and applauded. This is a true story. If you are against
racism, please send this message to all your friends; please do not delete
it without sending it to at least one person.

[ghjgfkgfk]

where did you find that?

[ThePrincessofTKD]

lol yeah i read that off my friend`s xanga. so many people wear tommy hilfiger. his clothing LASTS longer, so i still buy those clothes...but not like a whole collection. just a few clothes.

[scandalous_chic]

That's insane! The bastard... Do you have the link for that article? I'd love to read it.

But unfortunately, a couple of thousand people boycotting Tommy Hilfiger is not going to make him go broke. The man's a millionaire (or billionaire?) but if not buying his clothes and accessories makes you feel any better, go right ahead. I, for one, am personally offended by the fact that "upper class white people" are meant to be buying these clothes. Hell, if you can afford 'em, then why can't you buy them?
And the second story is good. Down with racism. (As though that'll help.)

[waccoon]

Tommy Hilfiger never said that.
;O Chain letters.
People who don't like Hilfiger?
If the article had any shred of truth, it would be all over the news, and more people would have heard about it.

Someone had enough free time to do research, Haha.

How about Abercrombie and Fitch? I've actually seen the shirts putting down the Asian community. Good thing they pulled them off the shelves and stopped selling them.

He's teaching the class tables.
Out of class in 4 minutes!

[avalon*]

the first story is really...mean and discriminatory. thanks for posting it to let people know about it. the second is really awesome! again, thanks =)

[*tweeak*]

i never liked his clothes to begin with...

[xscore]

that actually isn't true.
go to his website and read about it there.

[silver-rain]

eh, i've never owned anything by tommy. and i really like the second story.

[happygoluckyng]

B!tch

[sweetdreamsx3]

I love the second one. I don't really think people would stop buying his clothes. No one really knows about this.

[*tweeak*]

^know one really knows about it because its not real

boycotts only work if people buy the clothes to begin with ;]

[Gypsy Eyes]

guys that was from like a year ago. he apologized publically and such... you need to learn how to let things go.

[DaTru KataLYST]

You know, I like how a lot of the cBers don't read all the posts. They just read the thread starter and reply away.

Jeez.

Someone should close this thread, it's supporting something totally untrue.

Why hasn't a mod closed this yet? Or atleast revise the first post and say its not true?

[*kryogenix*]

Didn't abercrombie do something like this too?

[pAtRiCk_sTar]

hmmm is this really true? i'm not really sure...but the whole thing is interesting, even if i'm still skeptical the second story is cool though, very inspiring and funny and "in ur face" sorta moral

[*tweeak*]

Didn't abercrombie do something like this too?

you might be thinking of hollister who supposedly descriminates by hiring only "attractive" emloyees or something like that

[DaTru KataLYST]

no abercrombie made a line of t-shirts that were deragatory to asians. lawsuits were immediately filed, and the line was cancelled.

[TheSilenceInDict...]

Didn't abercrombie do something like this too?

Uuhh, that's what I had already mentioned.
Try reading the posts before you reply.

Jeez.

Yeah, it's damn annoying.

It's actually hilarious that the executives of A&F truly thought it was a good clothing project to invest in.

"Two Wongs will make it white"....wtf is wrong with corporations these days, have they no common sense?

[*tweeak*]

no abercrombie made a line of t-shirts that were deragatory to asians. lawsuits were immediately filed, and the line was cancelled.

oooh that one. yeah, i remember that now

[dreamerOi]

omgosh what the heck. ooo he makes me mad. even though i knew it already. haha.

[xbladeoffire90x]

I have some Tommy stuff...I'm wearing a Tommy shirt in my pic that my mom bought for me...

[xoxoxx]

[DaTru KataLYST]

This topic again...

Tommy hilfiger never appeared on oprah, and he never said those quotes. The entire chain letter is a fabrication of a loser with a lot of free time.

seriously, don't trust all the stories you get, research it.

This hoax is 3-4 years old for god sakes.

I'm gonna close this now, I feel cb shouldn't be spreading crap like this.
