Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if . H: H# m4 h- U# l$ n, T
the statements about race he was accused of saying were true.
, _. T9 S$ F( q- vStatements like'... 'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish

8 J" J1 r- A7 A8 w8 s
My suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger. ' f- A# A3 F3 `% A: c$ V
Let's give him what he asked for. Let's not buy his clothes, let's put + E+ G7 U4 ?8 P! E2 o
Him in a financial state where he himself will not be able to afford the ' E. ]7 Z( b h: } F, D% c
ridiculous prices he puts on his clothes. BOYCOTT.
