Stevie Wonder Boycotting Florida Following Zimmerman Verdict (Video)
Hollywood Reporter ^ | 07/16/13

Posted on 07/16/2013 6:04:47 AM PDT by BunnySlippers

In the wake of the George Zimmerman acquittal, the singer said he would not be performing in the Sunshine State until its Stand Your Ground law is "abolished." He also said he would not be performing in any other state that recognizes the law, which some say contributed to Zimmerman's acquittal in the shooting death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin on Feb. 26, 2012.

He has decided to retroactively boycott writing good songs, beginning in 1978.

My favorite National Lampoon was the one that came with 3D glasses. All the cartoons and ads were in 3D.

Win a blind date with Stevie Wonder!

Wow! All of these celebrities opening their pie holes about this is nauseating. It’s like a veritable parade of narcissists. Who cares what they think! Does Stevie really think that it’s going to make a damned difference if he boycotts Florida? These people are absurd.

To all of these celebrities I say go and hang out with your best friend the mirror and leave the “thinking” to everyone else.

CDC should put warning signs around ghettos: “Racism is hazardous to your mental health”.

The really funny (ironic sense) one was Chris Brown, who this morning looks to be headed back to prison for another explosion of his anger management problem.

Actually the comments are pretty funny. Urging Stevie to boycott all states ... for Trayvon:

He is part of the group of people, from all over the world, who want to assert their will on us and use social engineering (lie, manipulation, community organizing) to change our society.

The truth has finally come out- and now there is a term for people to really understand the movement, and the agenda.

They hate America. Stevie Wonder is one of them. Period.
