Not that I'd ever buy any of his sh*tty clothes anyway.... (Beyonce, American)

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". Whereafter 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. FIGHT AGAINST RACISM.

A little email I got I thought I would pass it along

It's a false rumor that's being passed around via e-mail. Tommy Hilfiger hasn't even been on The Oprah Winfrey Show. Oprah made a public statement that it is false, and she has not yet met the man.
