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.

Made one visit to Disneyland and kNotts berry farm in 1972,, graduated from boot camp and got the grand tour. Never been back,, what is it now at least $75 a day?
Exactly. Please let us know all the boycott places. Sane folks need to relax without having to cap someones ass.
I hope they do stay out of Florida, fine with me if they are mad about the verdict, don’t go down to Florida
The irony is that Disney caters to the black community like no other corporation. They have a VP who heads up this effort whose sole job is reaching out to the minority community.
Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. The black community has no greater friend and supporter than Disney.
“The millions of potential new citizens overwhelmingly live in urban areas (next to blacks) where they will take jobs formerly held by black people.”
There’s always a silver lining to any dark cloud
“So, punishing Florida will reverse the verdict and resurrect Trayvon?”
I don’t think of it as “punishing” Florida, I prefer to think of it as BLESSING us. They aren’t wanted or needed down here. Any boycott they can think up won’t hurt Florida at all. They’re nothing but a bunch of rabble.
Sales went up, iirc.
It turns out most apple juice is produced in China. 95%. However - you can get white grape juise and it's produced in the US. Most in NY state actually. It is very good.
Does Disney take EBT cards? (food-stamp credit cards)
It’s about 92 for an adult at Disney world.
Dick Gregory is still selling himself as a comedian? He hasn’t been funny-funny since the Johnson Administration.
Chris Rock and Sarah Silverman and Jim Carrey are among his modern day protégé.
The day I went , it was in the low 20s if that,, Some of the blended family go regularly, it’s like a Hajj.
That would sure make it nice for the rest of us. I hope the Homosexuals boycott them too.
It’s 95 per park . Unreal
Pretending to accept as a given fact that professional race-baiting idiots like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are “leaders” of Black Americans, suggests you are demonstrably ignorant.Dare I say stupid? Yes. I guess I will.
Does the tiny group of odious and offensive political activists who call themselves the “Westboro Baptist Church” represent any legitimate Baptist church, or even any self-proclaimed Christian of any Baptist denomination you have ever encountered? No? I didn't think so. I auotomatically "profile" the hell out of everyone in every situation I encounter every single day of my life. It's why I have reached the advanced age that I have achieved, mostly unscathed by violence and crime. Same as everyone else does.
I used to live in Orlando and work at EPCOT in the mid 80’s. It was wonderful at that time ...lived near a bunch of retirement communities. No racial issues ...just fun, sun, and good times ....
How life USED to be in America.
Maybe with the boycotts, it will get back to that again.

And therein lies the problem. The brain dead don’t even realize he’s
geographically incorrect.
All they hear is “ Rat” , injustice....
We be mad, you be wrong , gimmie, gimmie ...... etc.
I-95 goes through Jacksonville.
I pass through there as fast as I can get through, that part of town is dangerous.
Florida citrus retailers can simply write the packaging labels in cursive.
Excellent
Boycotting Disneyland would make it “The Safest Place on Earth”!
