Some members of the crowd jumped in and started shouting, “Boycott Florida! Boycott Florida!”
[Comedian, Activist Dick] Gregory made the argument that supporters of Trayvon Martin should take action by not acting. “Whoa. Hang on,” he said. “Let me say something. Let me say something. See that’s what you mean. Some of y’all ain’t been to Florida in your life and ain’t going. And all you got to do is get Florida to come to you. Now what do I mean by that? They got oranges that they can’t afford to have you not buy because they will rot."
"You leave here now and you get on the phone and you call people and tell them to call people," he continued. "I said to my grandmother, 'We not going to boycott Florida orange juice because Florida orange juice is sold under different names. We going to boycott orange juice.' And when them orange growers start running in to take that governor and he knows he can’t stand his ground with them. This is who we are. Starting thinking about Christmas. You know it’s hard to get us to do something.”
Gregory called for people to boycott Disney as well, since it is based in Orlando, Fla. “How many of y’all have been to Disneyland to see a rat?” Gregory said, referencing Mickey Mouse, to laughter from the several hundred in attendance. “But haven’t walked down the street to see King’s tomb? Had he not died, you wouldn’t be welcome in Orlando. So we not asking you to do anything that costs you. We just say save your money. Don’t spend it. And when they understand who you are, then things will stop happening.” Disneyland is located in Anaheim, CA. Disneyworld is located in Orlando, FL.

Please, boycott Disney. It will be that much more pleasant to go..
Idiot. It’s Disney “World”... and they employ a ton of people... including minorities.
So, punishing Florida will reverse the verdict and resurrect Trayvon?
What do they want to happen here? To offer Zimmerman to the crowd to lynch?
>> “How many of y’all have been to Disneyland to see a rat?” Gregory said,
“Where Disneyland at, cracka?”
Anyway, the attendance at Disney World won’t suffer.
If they spent as much time looking for work as they do protesting, they’d be a lot happier.
They’re not going to punish Florida. There isn’t enough of these idiots to do anything other than get Obama to pet their heads. Again, MOST people agree with the verdict.
My thought exactly.
Less trouble, less noise and more civility.
A safe place not subject to “wildings” (coming to a Disney near you).
How they gonna pay their bookies and dealers?
Let's see: how else can they improve my life by boycotting something? I've got it. BOYCOTT SCOTCH! Show those evil distillers by driving their prices down!
PLEASE Mr. Gregory spread the word. Boycott FLA! It’s crowded enough down here. But, come December they’ll be snowbirding it down here in droves, getting sh!tfaced at the nightclubs, seeing the sights, visiting the Magic Kingdom feeding the Rat.
Bused 500 thug supporters into DC for a rally? EPIC FAIL...
it might make everything a lot easier for people that want to go there...
Like they can afford to go there.
Cause Mickey Mouse is a creepy ass cracker...
Actually those in FL should thank these idiots for the idea. Less morons in FL...think about the “boycott Arizona” last year due to the immigration issue. More space, people are happy, less illegals...
