The non-violent activists known as the “Dream Defenders” began occupying the capitol building in Tallahassee, Florida, last Tuesday after the Zimmerman verdict was announced. The group plans to remain there until Governor Rick Scott has met their demand to convene a special session of the legislature to review the controversial Stand Your Ground law. On Friday, the “Dream Defenders” and their supporters gained a prominent supporter when long-time activist Harry Belafonte announced his backing.
On All in With Chris Hayes Friday evening, Belafonte stated his reasons for joining the group: “I’ve come down to be at the disposal of young people. Not only to tell the history from whence we’ve come; but to talk for a host of artists who are very high profile, a number of leaders who are very high profile, who are waiting to hear, ‘How do we look at a strategy in the immediate future?’” He noted that Jamie Foxx and Chuck D. have signed on as official supporters of “The Dream Defenders” and are prepared to go to Florida to provide support and greater exposure for the cause.
“To boycott is an important thing for people to do; it touches the economic nerve; it touches the way people are sustaining themselves. And if we interrupt the machine; if we interrupt the economic flow, then I think we can make a difference,” Belafonte said. He applauded Stevie Wonder for his decision, in the wake of the Zimmerman verdict, to boycott performing in Florida while its Stand Your Ground law remains on the books.....

One hit wonder Belafonte is still alive? Who knew.
“He oh skoo. We duh noo generayshun!”
LOL! Very nice.
Day-O

He looks like a "house negro" to me.
LOL! Every time I see, think or say Day-O the first thing that comes to mind is Beetlejuice, sorry Harry.
It’s over, bitches. There’s NOTHING you can do.
YEP!
IOW, Harry misses the attention he used to get. He’s just like the KorCom leader: Make a fuss when you need some more attention and $.
Scott is a dumbass for letting this continue.
Why is this communist still in America, Oh Yeah. nobody else wants his shit.
MLK had a dream, we all know what that was.
These "Dream Defenders" of the new reality also have a dream...
That the new black hoodie criminal culture must have special privileges, both as victim as and perpetrators of the most horrible crimes... just because they are deprived, poor, angry, resentful and too stupid to learns stuff...
Talk is cheap; how they actually live their lives, still defines what they are.
Is it possible there are bananas there that have to be tallied-he just might come in handy.
