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? 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 WHO SPENDS THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY ON CLOTHES MADE BY SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT RESPECT THEM AS A PERSON OR A PEOPLE Elaine Leslie Purchasing Services New York University 269 Mercer St. 5th Fl.
