Boycott Florida For Trayvon

[BrownTurd]

How long u gonna continue this go against the grain shit you been doing for years.

Do you have a business in Florida? If you do thats really the only dog you should have in this hunt. Directing our dollars elsewhere would speak volumes because thats the only weapon we have in this System. The black dollar is always taken for granted and it shouldnt be because we dont ever SPEAK with our money. Keep shoveling right into the devils pockets.

The SYSTEM in the state of Florida is the issue not the pawns that were elected into the jury.

Zimmerman commits a crime. We boycott Florida while Zimmerman moves to Kentucky. How is this affecting Zimmerman if that was the case?

You punish the Florida residents because Zimmerman commits a crime....When most of Florida is composed of minorities who were riding with Trayvon? Make zero sense.

Boycotting via social media the advertisers, publishers, companies, etc. that are associated with any movies, book deals, etc. the Zimmerman family will use to profit off this case would be a much more effective tactic than blindly boycotting an entire state.

Imposing e-sanctions on advertisers is the quickest way to stimulate change (ask Rush Limbaugh) rather than the fruitless efforts of posting online threats to GZ only to get arrested. Using social media only to post threats is hustling backwards when it can potentially be used more effectively.

We (i use that term loosely) are 10% of the populace. If we took all of our tourist dollars out of that state, it would make a dent. But please dont start with the "it would hurt the little innocent ppl of Florida" routine. They would feel a slight blow but the move would be mostly to send a message, shit the citizens are complacent and implicit to a degree as well.... Economic Pressure is the ONLY time black folks have ever saw change.

I bet you one of them ninjas that think them white folks moved us out of the back of the bus because of the kindness of their hearts?

I want to send a message to Zimmerman and not prevent innocent people from living a comfortable life. I am all for boycotting anyone or establishment that employs or generate funds for Zimmerman. To hurt folks who have nothing to do with the killing of Trayvon is weak.

Not sure about the data. I do know that George Zimmerman and Trevor Dooley got very different verdicts for similar cases. Self defense claim worked for George and not for Trevor. Trevor showed his gun (wrong to do), but then walked away and was tackled by a younger white dude, then shot him in the scuffle. All witnesses including the dead guys daughter said that was how it happened. Zimmerman follwed a guy doing nothing wrong, profiled him (wrong to do) and SAYS the guy knocked him down and got on top of him and banged his head on the sidewalk and shot the guy in the scuffle.

Two men, two different verdicts. Two different sets of jurors too, I know, but still, the vastly different outcomes say something.


Massive overreaction? Ok, that's your belief...but although I'm not prone to overreacting about stuff myself, this case hits home for me. I've been profiled many many times. Spent my teen years living in a white neighborhood, and had people looking at me sideways for not looking like I belonged there, etc. I know without any doubt that if that was me walking down the street that night, George would have called the cops on me and followed me (black hoodie almost never leaves my body during the winter).... and I would feel threatened just like Trayvon did. Probably would have confronted the guy following me even sooner. Something tells me that if I had taken the gun out of the hands of the guy following me and killed him (cause I'm not a 17 year old boy), that jury would not give my self defense claim the same consideration they gave to Zimmerman's claim.


edit: quick search for stats on the race thing yielded this. Not sure if it has been debated or anything for veracity, but the source is legit:

In the case with the old man, he BRANDISHED the weapon. Then as he turned to walk away, the other guy approached. He then PULLED the weapon. It's after that, the other guy went for the weapon. Where the old man fucked up is that people playing tennis saw the shit. No witnesses....he walks. They were on another court.

Did you see some of the other fucked up cases on the link you posted(the same link I posted in the other thread)?

There is one involving two drug dealers. One black. One white. The black one had a pistol. White one got into a scuffle with him and supposedly got him on the ground and was choking the shit out of him. He shot him in the face and claimed he feared for his life. They denied his STG claims. A jury found him innocent.

What about the guy who shot an unarmed teen with a sawed off. He claimed the teen lunged at him. But there were no witnesses so he walked.

Another guy gets into a fight and got in his car. Other guy approaches and the guy in the car shoots through his back window claiming he feared for his life. Mind you, this is while he is pulling off. Shot guy ends up dead. All he gets is an improperly discharging weapon charge.

I started looking at the page days ago and have just been @ the shit I found out. Without witnesses in Florida, the state's case is damn near impossible -- unless you tell on yourself.

The thing is, two issues I have with Florida.

1. Any crime/situation dealing with a gun should go to a grand jury. It should not be up to the local police department. This is how it is in Texas, and other a lot of other states *I believe around 25 other states...but I might be wrong*.

2. Once you disobey a dispatcher *he/she should have the same jurisdiction as the police. Meaning, his/her word is the law.* self defense plea becomes sketchy. However, if you're on your property *car, house, yard, or anything legally owned by you*, and someone attacks you, you should be able to use the ole castle doctrine.

Boycotting Florida will not change these issues. The people of Florida have to come together, and demand their representatives/senators to upgrade the laws. Not to mention, update their sentencing method when it comes to violent crimes.

As was said earlier today, if your expecting an all white jury to convict a white man in the south for killing a black person, your living in a dream world. In that regard we're still living in the 19th century.

From New York City to Jena to LA over the last 3 decades time after time again whites manage to either free or lessen a sentence when a black person is the victim.

You sound like you are alright with that. sorry bruh, but that's how it comes off.

He just keeping it real. The same way an all black jury would not have let Zimmerman walk. Just the way it is

Fuck boycotting Florida....why don t we boycott the whole economy.....

for one whole business quarter......we only spend money on grocery food/medicine, gas and shelter....worldwide......

 

[BGLR1212000]

you know you fuck over black folks if you do this shit right?

Collateral damage.

 

[Theo_Huxtable]

thats a good start. but people also need to make sure the SYG laws are targeted as well. thats got to be put to the forefront of all of this.​

 

[code_pirahna]

you know you fuck over black folks if you do this shit right?

Its a sacrifice that we all must take....don t think that black folks didn t get fucked over when Obama got elected.....

but we need to get back to the Unity......

I hate to inform you, but every registered voter in Florida has something to do with the Not Guilty verdict for Zimmerman.

PS - I really wish you would get off Zimmermans nuts. The issue is much bigger them him and Treyvon.

 

[lurknomo]

does that means HNIC has to ban all members living in florida?

 

[younghustla]

Notice how when folks start talking about interrupting the flow of MONEY, they nay saying starts, and gets stronger, and stronger, and stronger...

I am boycotting Florida based on the multitude of cases like Trayvon's and New York City based on stop & frisk. Until those areas make changes, they cannot have my tourism dollar.

Everyone understands money. If Blacks would use their financial power, the racist machine will eventually be forced to yield power.

How am I am Zimmerman nuts when I am made threads and post about making "Zimmerman" feel the Heat?

http://www.bgol.us/board/showthread.php?t=744029

Yall be getting to emotional and not thinking clearly. Why in the hell would I advocate taking money out of the state of Florida where millions of black folk work and own businesses, While George Zimmerman moves to another state and live in luxury?

So if we cripple the economy how exactly are those millions of black people supposed to survive and feed their families without jobs?

Because your stated focus is on Zimmerman, Not the conditions that allow for a Zimmerman to escape justice. Is it really productive to focus your energy on ONE rat, while 5 more come in your house through the hole in the wall? Or is it better to repair the hole so no more get in, then do the housecleaning?

Which is more logical?

The vast majority of Florida's tourism economy is White owned and White employed.

Since you are so concerned about Black business, go on vacation to a state other than Florida and make sure that you stay in a Black owned hotel and eat a Black owned restaurant.

No Black people should visit Florida until Stand Your Ground is repealed - period.

Soooo......would you like a retrial? What if after the retrial the jury came back with another NG verdict? Try him again?


See where I'm going with this?

I want the Stand Your Ground legislation repealed. Until then, Blacks should not visit the state of Florida.

Yes, into circular non productive nonsense. There will not be a retrial in Florida, And the goal of a boycott is the removal of SYG.

Thank you Peter. Your attempt to derail this shows the validity and power of an economic focused call to action.

Zimmerman commits a crime. We boycott Florida while Zimmerman moves to Kentucky. How is this affecting Zimmerman if that was the case?

You punish the Florida residents because Zimmerman commits a crime....When most of Florida is composed of minorities who were riding with Trayvon? Make zero sense.

should be boycotting every state that passed these types of laws that make it legal to hunt black people.

the problem is people are making it about the Trayvon Martin murder and not the laws that led to the murder being okay.

white people have always used their fear of black people to justify their behavior.

but these laws don't even require the fear to be actual or reasonable.

they just have to say they were afraid without reason.

Trayvon did nothing but walk while black and Zimmerman claimed fear.

So its not about punishing Florida because Zimmerman lives there or not.

Its punishing Florida and any state that allows open season on black people without even requiring a bullshit reason.

Florida and any state that allows this feeble defense should be targeted.

And black mofokrs should have been outraged and doing something when these laws were being passed instead of waiting for them to result in the death of another innocent.

And when this outrage passes and it will just like Dialo, Bell, Grant, Bumphers and all the others will the outraged people go back to their comfortable existence until the next outrage ?

And your naivete/lack of critical thinking/emotion-based internet advocacy shows why your dumb ass plan will get zero traction.


You can remove SYG. Sure, fine, that doesn't change racial profiling. And if asking you logical questions about your plan to boycott an entire state is 'derailing a thread' that means your shit was never really on track from the jump.

Peace and Blessings.

Thank you YoungHustla,

I'm posting and exposing folks like peter and brownturd because there are other brothers on here that are angry and looking for something to do. P & B's game is to make you feel powerless and helpless with self-defeating statements. The extreme by-product of this is the hope that someone will go out in the streets wanting to reclaim their manhood (which you never lost) by doing something physical.

Not only will that land you in jail, but it will put money into the pockets of those that want you powerless and helpless. You have to think of the prison number as your personal barcode. You are the product. Guess who is the register?

My idea takes money out of their register and puts it back into your own, while building self-pride (aw shit!), and a sense of empowerment.

Now lets stop the petty nonsense and break these fools.

ive always thought florida was a bush run state. if thats the case, i dont see that happening

Florida, and FSU and Central FLorida should have absolutely no Black male athletes for decades.

I would not dare send my young male child to that state, rather take a shot at a smaller HBCU if need be.

The stand your ground law did not magically appear. It was voted on. Black people either voted for or failed to vote against the law.

It is the peoples fault for failing to vote and not keeping up with their elected leaders. Most people fail to understand how laws are put into place.

Most of Florida was for Trayvon. People in Florida simply failed to vote

All they will say to your rant is provide the truth. On blank day the law was scheduled to be voted on. How many black folk actually voted?

Got to accept responsibility and not play the blame gams

[mangobob79]

boycotting florida will hurt black folks truly but maybe that too will motivate them with the white biznizzes losing $$ to fight to repel the laws, u cant have it all cushy ,sometimes we have 2 make sacrifices and now is one of those times... yes it ll affect some blk biznizzes but it will force them to also get more involved in the political system next time the vote comes up. we all know what happened during the midterms ..when blk folks lost interest in voting thinking its all fine now that o was in office.

The problem is if you do nothing you'll still get fucked over.

Mainly white folks as well cause they receive the bulk of the income that will be lost.
