KICK out RACISM HOAX EMAILS

I am 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 (my clothes) 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. 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. 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 Hilfiger products, perfume, cosmetics, clothes, bags, etc. FROM google search Corporate Statement:

Since you still may be the recipient of false information, we wanted to set the record straight and to update you on important information. Tommy creates his clothing for all different types of people regardless of their race, religious or cultural background. Unfortunately, for several years now, an ugly rumor has been circulating that Tommy made inappropriate racial comments on the Oprah Winfrey Show. The facts remain simple and cannot be disputed. Tommy Hilfiger did not make the alleged comments, he has never appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and, in fact, Ms. Winfrey herself, on her January 11, 1999 program, stated Tommy Hilfiger has never been on her show nor has she ever met him. You also should know that similar rumors have circulated about comments supposedly made by Tommy Hilfiger on other television shows. All of them are completely false. Whether these rumors are part of a misunderstanding or a deliberate act of malice, they have absolutely no basis in fact. This rumor, in its various forms, has achieved the status of a classic "urban myth." The urban myth phenomenon has been written about by many journalists, and there are now many websites on the Internet dedicated to the subject of urban legends and folklore. Most importantly, Tommy Hilfiger wants his clothing to be enjoyed by people of all backgrounds and his collections are put together with the broadest cross-section of individuals in mind. To reinforce this, he features models of all ethnic backgrounds in his fashion shows and advertisements.

Oprah's Statement: I've Never Even Met Tommy Hilfiger "So I want to just set the record straight once and for all. The rumor claims that clothing designer Tommy Hilfiger came on this show and made racist remarks, and that I then kicked him out. I just want to say that is not true because it just never happened. Tommy Hilfiger has never appeared on this show. READ MY LIPS, Tommy Hilfiger HAS NEVER APPEARED ON THIS SHOW. And all of [the] people who claim that they saw it, they heard it -- it never happened. I've never even met Tommy Hilfiger." Taped live on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" January 11, 1999 [click here for Oprah official website]
