Racism

Tommy Hilfiger was a guest at Oprah Winfrey show. On the show, Oprah 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 (my clothes) 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.

God created us in His image. Success has inflated Tommy's pride to the point that Psalm 10:3-7 seems an accurate fit for his inner being. Deut 32:25 reminds us the judgment will come to pass.

Dear Lord, thank you for positioning Oprah to defend your truth and righteousness in this dark world. May the shocking treatment before the 22 millions Oprah Winfrey viewers would send Tommy to repent and deflate his secular success and find Your peace and restoration. Our dear Holy Spirit, guard our tongue to encourage and strengthen people we meet each day, deflate our ego and pride for Your kingdom. In Jesus name, Amen
