Her guest was Tommy Hilfiger. On the show, she asked him if / f$ L! H! T6 n
the statements about race he was accused of saying were true. : v1 b H. W% u
Statements like'... 'If I'd known African-Americans, Hispanics, Jewish

His answer to Oprah was a simple ' YES' .

My suggestion? Don't buy your next shirt or perfume from Tommy Hilfiger.
