FW: Check out What Maya Angelou has to Say!!!

WHERE'S MY AFRO PICK?

You are in love with TOMMY
Because his last name is HILFIGER
But behind closed doors, TOMMY
Is calling you a n.....

But you could care less
Because you have been taught to dress to impress.
If I asked you about your true history
You would have to look on the back of your jeans and GUESS!

You come up in the club wearing VERSACE
Clothes made by a homosexual male
So even when you say you are straight
It is very hard to tell.

And for footwear you wear TIMBERLANDS,
Even under the sun
That same tree that is the symbol for them
Could have been the same one your ancestors were hung from.

Can not forget your NAUTICA
When the last memory you have of ships
Is coming to North America in shackles,
Being beat over the back with whips.

And to my beautiful black queens
Whose creative womb has become barren?
I am confused, because your face says Nefertiti,
But your sweater reads DONNA KARAN.

When was the last time you saw LIZ CLAIBORNE
Conversing with black women,
But as soon as her name is printed on a purse
To Macy's you quickly go running.

RALPH LAUREN doesn't even look at black men
Unless they are driving him around town
But as soon as that slave master appears on the back of the horse
You put whatever you have picked up down.

My people reclaim your status in this world and
"ALWAYS HOPE FOR THE BEST
AND PREPARE FOR THE WORST,
YOU MAY NOT GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR,
BUT YOU'LL SURELY PAY FOR WHAT YOU GET!!!"

---- Maya Angelou

On the other hand : Bill Clinton didn't start it. But there are undeniable
signs -- as the President-elect prepares to take the oath of
office Wednesday -- that some of America's biggest marketers
are now embracing the same racial-harmony themes that Clinton
wove into his campaign speeches and stitched into the fabric of
his transition team and Cabinet appointments.
At one time, only apparel companies on the marketing edge,
such as Benetton, Esprit and Members Only -- and, more
recently, Nike -- dared to tout race as an issue in ads. But
this week, even Clearasil, the acne medication made by
merchandising giant Procter & Gamble Co., is about to tackle
the topic in TV ads to appear on the classroom network Channel
One.

Over the weekend, Mastercard co-sponsored a teen summit in
New York City that focused on racism. And McDonald's ran
national TV spots promoting Monday's Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
holiday. Timberland Shoes, an East Coast boot maker, is also
taking on the issue of combatting racism while trying to
recruit other marketers to join its battle.

So if U look at it from both sides you can decide based upon the evidence.....
