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.

where will they have all their college beach week long riots and biker week long riots?
Gosh, I think I’ll stock up on orange juice. Are these people for real? Are they stupid or just mentally challenged? I can’t decide which 0 maybe both.
IIRC, MOST juices except orange juice are produced in China...be careful with your labels....we only buy Florida's own for our juice.....
sounds like Blacks are waking up....actually low numbers every where across the country....hundreds, not thousands
These idiots think because some small lunch counter owners were hurt by blacks boycotting them in Alabama, it will have the same effect on a state or an industry. There ain’t enough of ‘em to make a dent.
LOL.
Boycott orange juice???? Like these folks got food stamps left to spend on orange juice....after they load up on potato chips and grape soda.
I once saw Dick Gregory perform “comedy” in a majority black city with an overwhelmingly black crowd. He was the opening act, and ninety percent of his set was about how much the white man sucks. I didn’t go to the restroom for the remainder of the night because I was afraid that ol’ Dick got the crowd so riled up against whitey that I’d get jumped.
If blacks, leftist whites, Muslims and gays boycott Disneyland, it should shorten wait time for popular rides.
Winner!
A new ad slogan.
Come To Florida...
The Blacks Are Boycotting.
I'll be sure to buy extra this week.
I believe you mis-posted.
Should have been directed to Post 11 by beelzpug.
This really has to be the dumbest most pointless protest ever. Think about the problems in this country, particularly in the black community, and this is their issue to care about???? WHY?
Odd, the gays are real quiet since they found out , the thug attack on George was a Gay Bashing !
While you’re at it, why don’t you militant racist liars boycott America.
Like these folks got food stamps left to spend on orange juice....after they load up on Skittles and Arizona Watermelon Juice Cocktail
It won’t be less crowded.
The tickets are $90 per day.
The Sharpton crowd can’t go unless they are bussed there for free.
