Tommy Hilfiger & Erykah Badu - Katrina 911

[NeuroHead]

She kinda sings while she talks.

Thats soulful!

[ojones46]

@NeuroHead So true. Badu just oozes soul!!

[greenmokey]

What again did he actually give. Sounds like they were some clothes made by some other people with his label on it. None of that cost him anything. Joker

[MrShushup]

[cooltownaz85228]

what a moron, Tommy Hilfiger is so prejudice and we still can see him for what he is.

[mammalmoose]

I wonder if the interviewer is really listening lol she did alot of nodding and i heard that a person who nods constantly is not truly listening but is just appearing like they are listening

[AnastasijaKobrinska]

Respect!

[tjv1028]

Why the fuck is ya'll sitting here talking about if he giving clothes to black folks he thought we was going to start bying his stuf again it don't matter aleast he is giving something and yes i know many people that love tommy hilfiger so we going to continue to buy it and don't talk about Erykah that is one of my favorite singers her music calms me down and another reason is because she does alot to help others she wil break the law just to help others that is a real black women

[denisewins]

Erykah is so beautiful ; )

[inasexymood]

The fuck yall worried about a brand?

What ghetto mindset is that?

It's clothes.

Period.

And at least he is giving.

What are yall giving?

Bitter comments?

That's going to help the community.

[moneymike708]

@inasexymood Hilfiger has been criticized for manufacturing clothes in sweatshop conditions in the United States territory of Saipan in the Northern Mariana Islands. federal labor laws including the minimum wage do not apply. In March 2000, the company, along with other defendants, settled a class action suit brought by Saipan garment workers, which had alleged mistreatment by over 20 large U.S. clothing manufacturers.

[inasexymood]

@moneymike708 I was moreso reacting to the bitter cunts who make this a racial issue. Sweatshops are horrible and not just Hilfiger is guilty of that. A whole bunch of big brands are.

[txgoodgrl]

So Tommy thought that by giving a bunch of knock offs to mainly black folks that we would start buying his shit again? FAIL! Sorry Tommy, but you never bite the hand that feeds you, especially black folks.

[seeinthenew]

Song Of Solomon: Chapter 1 vs 5 and vs 6 ... Chapter 5 vs 11 and vs 16 ... for the littlest lamblions of love IDLOVEPEACE will not retreat so stay blessed jet black and gehazi-rish daughters ye be planetea Noeahborigenes

[lee2575]

Tommy has no shame! It like announcing that you donating rejects and are proud of it.

[da1bigbird15]

tommy is stupid! Ugggh!

[artemis709]

Hilifiger is a loser....wow, so counterfeit rip offs of his products are going to survivors...what a great man

[dideliskasnis]

dont u think ur being a bit rascist

[ThePecanTan]

Tommy's shit has always been some GARBAGE in my opinion anyway, lol.

[KVoe21519]

shut dat stupid ass shit up, dnt nobody give a fuck about tommy

[zsazzy]

I grew up with Tommy and he never was a racist. Also, I doubt if any of us knows how much he has actually given to charity. Maybe we should stop being so judgmental when we don't know the facts.

[cwants]

they helped and that's what counts, bush was president during this and how much did he do? he didnt even show up to see the people!

[beraucracy]

God Bless Ms Badu.

As for the Hilfiger, it's just one more brand to be banned from this household.

What a stark contrast between a real soul and an empty shell, sucked dry by greed and profit.

God bless the lady,

and God help the poor man, for he is really poor, giving is not about being rewarded for your kindness.

[CBeyondlimits]

Tommy can suck it... they didn't need is "ok" to dispose of stolen/counterfeit goods. It's a shame that THAT is the only way he would so give so "generously".

and Ms. Badu... I luv ya.. but we haven't "taken responsibility" yet... long time comin'... but good we are tryin' now.

[Txslabhurta]

on tha real tommy didnt want us niggas wearing his shit anyway..I remember that shit...so fuck him..he aint comin out of his pocket givin away fake tommy shit...

[ThePecanTan]

LLS! My sentiments, exactly!

[nikki23237]

I remember that too!

[Txslabhurta]

Polo Horses on my bed Fuck Hillfiger...lol

[Crjeno1]

How the hell is Hilfiger stepping up to the plate by donating knock off labels that he, "supposedly," had nothing to do with and didn't even have custody of anyway?

Suppose he would have told the Gov't no?

Didn't he allegedly say back in the day that if he had known that his line was going to be so popular in the African American community, then he wouldn't have even bothered with the design??? (GOOGLE IT)

If this is true, THANKS Mr. Hilfiger for stepping up to the plate...I guess???

[9thedreaming9]

Love Erykah, she´s a true voice for the new mind generation.

But Tommy... he works using asian childs in his factories in Asia (see "Zeitgeist II"). He´s got CAPITALSM written all over!!! That was just some more commercial bul***it.

[au101]

So basically he didnt give anything

[Nubianpryncess]

Tommy Hilfiger agreed to give "Knock OFF" clothes that were not even in his possession, What benvolence, somebody give this man a nobel peace prize!

RBG

[Nubianpryncess]

Wow, big deal Tommy Hilfiger agreed to give away KNOCK-OFF's that weren't even in his possession! F-him and his so called "charity"

RBG

[watucallit1990]

THIS ASS HOLE, FUCK TOMMY...

[AuroraKismet]

I absolutely second that,watucallit1990.Some of us haven't forgotten.

[CSVaze]

what happened in 1990?

[rmbb10]

Nice.

[Lacey1Spytfiyah]

fuck wut yall goin through... y n the hell was the interviewer looking like she was in love and dumbfounded...lmao! RBG!

[eskimospy7]

She has a beautiful soul . . .

[Ellerynum2]

It has absolutely nothing to do with her race. I'm offended that you assumed I was saying that because she's black. I'm really hurt by that. She is won of my role models; she is one of my heros. So please, think before you speak.

[MrTGolden]

SUPPORT H.R. 3400 - the Rebuilding America's Infrastructure Act

Finance Gulf Coast revitalization at 1/4 of 1% rates of interest through a "Federal Bank for Infrastructure Modernization."

OPPOSE Public-Private Partnerships which will extract much higher rates of interest and cede control of public infrastructure to private financial firms.

The culture of greed has wrecked our nation.

Wall Street, and politicians supporting PPPs, must go.

Get smart, y'all.

[piscesvirgoannie]

Well said EB..... :-]

[Ellerynum2]

damn she's articulate!

[Metapoetic]

I may not like you for using the "she speaks so well" comment... She is nothing different than all other African Americans

[Ellerynum2]

It has absolutely nothing to do with her race. I'm offended that you assumed I was saying that because she's black. I'm really hurt by that. She is won of my role models; she is one of my heros. So please, think before you speak.

[Metapoetic]

Honestly whether you were white, black, hispanic, or asian, I would have made my comment. I am not saying you are a racist. What I am saying is I understand many times people (as a whole) are surprised when they see an african american who articulates what they say without using a form of slang. I am pointing out that most can articulate their words, just when they are in a social space they "relax" their tounge.

[antidote2010]

Absolutely. It's a sub-consciously racist comment sometimes. Ellerynum2 may not realize that he/she is somewhat bigoted against African-Americans; he/she may merely speaking without realizing that he/she is saying more than the actual words uttered. I used "May," so don't retort stating that you're not racist.

[sfillyaw]

is she not suppose to be???
