When the numerous law suits start filing in from promoters, they will change their tune.

I agree this whole list is complete fabrication....but people want to believe what they want.

The one law that actually helps blacks instead of hurting them and blacks want it overturned because it's "racist". Makes sense.

I would like someone to explain how stand your ground is racist? Unless shooting a black criminal who is threatening your life is somehow racist.

Leftists will lie about anything.

It's part of their mental disorder.

If you believe that blacks in general benefit from SYG that was disproven by the source investigaors...Olando senitnal.

their investigation showed that gang bangers and drive by shooters are using SYG and are being let go...how does that benefit black folk?

Celebrities Boycott Florida but really over the Zimmerman verdict they did not like.

Full Story: Jay Z, Kanye, Madonna Join Stevie Wonder's Florida Boycott In Wake Of Zimmerman Verdict (REPORT, UPDATES)

A number of top-level celebrities are reportedly following in Stevie Wonder's footsteps and plan to boycott Florida in protest of the state's "Stand Your Ground" laws. The list, which was first reported by AURN's April Ryan and credited a "a source close to Wonder," includes the likes of Madonna, Usher, Kanye West, Jay Z, Rihanna and Rod Stewart.

Wonder announced his intention to boycott any state with "Stand Your Ground" laws after a jury acquitted George Zimmerman in the 2012 killing of unarmed Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

The original article continues below.

• Mary Mary
• Eddie Levert
• Rod Stewart
• Madonna
• Usher
• Pattie Labelle
• Kanye West
• Mary J
• Trey Songz
• Jay Z
• Rolling Stones
• Justin Timberlake
• R. Kelly
• Rihanna
• Alicia Keys
• Joe
• Will I AM
• Keyshia Cole
• Young Jeezy
• Erykah Badu
• Wale
• Frankie Beverly
• Parliament

Now, I've been in other threads where feminist liberals have stated to me that celebrities can not be looked to for American and life issues such as marriage--or mother's like Halle Berry not being obese. Apparently, Halle Berry can't have a "real marriage" (but gay people can) and no American woman can not get fat after having a child unless they have Halle Berry's income.

I bring that up because now celebrities are using their weight--and example--to support a liberal agenda. Now, I bet, feminist liberals have no problem with celebrities interjecting themselves into American and life issues. And no doubt they will have no problem with liberals pointing to them as a good example.

Frankly, I say good on Florida if these celebrities boycott their state.

In fact, I encourage these celebrities to boycott Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan and just about every state in the Union that has a city with a high homicide rate.

I mean... it's not like Zimmerman walked up to a crowd of people at a block party or a memorial party and started shooting into the crowd, gunning down innocent people or even a little girl.

In other words Zimmerman didn't go "Chicago" on that a___.

I had expected some, but not that many, and not that many who could fill a large venue.

Ca-ching..less.

I pointed this out earlier in the thread. IF something like this ever occurred it would be financially devasting for the cities that have large arenas dependent on concerts. IF something like ever occurred the SYG law would be stricken from the books so fast heads would spin. I wonder how many posters would still be marching around chanting "who cares" IF something like this really happened. I doubt many artists would pull out of a booked & confirmed tour but they certainly might choose not to play there again.

Well duh! Aren't all black folks gang bangers?

Awesome, all that means is the number of drug using criminal pedophiles just went down in Florida. LOL
