For more than 10 years a vicious rumor has circulated about Oprah and
clothing designer Tommy Hilfiger. When it first surfaced, Oprah went on the air
to deny the rumor and to say that he'd never even been on the show, and the
rumor seemed to die.
But recently it has found new life on the Internet.
Have you received the following e-mail forward?
Subject: Tommy Hilfiger on Oprah
Text: "I'm sure many of you watched the recent taping of The Oprah Winfrey Show
where her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, Oprah asked him if he had
said, 'If I had 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' when she asked him, and she then immediately asked him
to leave her show."
Oprah: Let's break this down. Tommy, in the 21 years that we've been on the
air, have you ever been on the show before today?
Tommy: Unfortunately, not.
Oprah: And when you first heard it, Tommy, what did you think?
Tommy: I didn't believe it.
Friends of mine said they heard the rumor. I
said, 'That's crazy. That can't be. I was never on The Oprah Show. I would
never say that.' And all my friends and family who know me and people who work
with me and people who have grown up with me said that's crazy.
Oprah: Well, did you ever say anything close to that? Where do you think this
originated?
Tommy: I have no idea. We hired FBI agents, I did an investigation, I paid
investigators lots of money to go out and investigate, and they traced it back
to a college campus but couldn't put their finger on it.
A cause close to Tommy's heart »
Tommy says his clothing company's intention has always been the exact
opposite of what that rumor says. "I wanted to sell a lot of clothes to a lot
of people," he says.
"It hurt my integrity, because at the end of the day, that's all you have. And
if people are going to challenge my honesty and my integrity and what I am as a
person, it hurts more than anything else," he says. "Forget the money that it
has cost me."
Not only is he a fashion icon, Tommy is also the founder of a summer camp for
inner city children and one of the driving forces behind the Martin Luther King
Jr. Memorial Funda group dedicated to creating a monument to the slain civil
rights leader in Washington, D.C. They're holding a fundraising concert on
September 18, 2007, in New York City.
"The next time somebody sends you an e-mail or somebody mentions this rumor to
you, you know what you're supposed say to them?" Oprah says. "You're supposed
to say, 'That's a big fat lie.'"

TWO TRUE STORIES ABOUT RACISM
1) 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 product, perfume, cosmetics, clothes,
bags, etc.
2) Scene took place on a British Airways 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 is taken.
I will go to see if another place is available.' The Hostess went away
and t hen 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 a seat in the business
class.
All the same, we still have one place in the first class.' Before the
woman could say anything, the hostess continued: 'It is not Usual 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 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.
Both the above are true stories. 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'.
