I can't believe what was in my email box

The "Tommy Hilfiger is a racist" email is still going around.

PLS READ THIS ABOUT TOMMY HILFIGER (AT OPRAH WINFREY SHOW)

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, Jews and Asians would buy my clothes, I WOULD NOT have made them so nice. I wish these peoplewould *NOT* buy my clothes, as they are made for upper class whitepeople."

His answer to Oprah was a simple "YES". Where after she immediately asked him to leave her show.

The 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.

Well, it's bogus. Here's a link about it:
