Stevie Wonder is putting his money where his mouth is. Wonder, 63, told the audience at a concert in Quebec City that he won’t perform in Florida until the controversial Stand Your Ground law is repealed. “You can’t just talk about it, you gotta be about it,” Wonder told the cheering crowd. Wonder added that he will not perform in any of the 22 states where the SYG law is on the books.
“I decided today that until the ‘Stand Your Ground’ law is abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again,” the singer said. “As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world. The truth is that — for those of you who’ve lost in the battle for justice, wherever that fits in any part of the world — we can’t bring them back. What we can do is we can let our voices be heard. And we can vote in our various countries throughout the world for change and equality for everybody. That’s what I know we can do.”
Florida’s controversial law does not require someone to flee from danger or to be inside their homes of offices when they use deadly force. The SYG law only requires someone to be in fear of their lives when they invoke the SYG defense.

GO STEVIE!!!! YASS!! See, that is someone who is about what they are saying!!! It’s so good to know that it’s not only about money to some people.
Good for Stevie

Brings to mind when Ray Charles boycotted Georgia. Now his song is the official state song
but what kind of shirt is that

Afternoon to you all
Way to go Stevie!
Stevie!!!
Stand Your Ground is shady anyway. Trayvon stood his ground. He just didn’t know the didn’t apply to him. It’s only for creepy azz crackas.

I applaude Steve, he has always been an activist promoting justice for all. Just curious, wasn’t the Zimmerman defense self defense not stand your ground or am I missing something? While I totally agree the SYG needs to be eliminated.
Hey Y’all!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Steveland Morris. Will always love this man.
However…
I think he should inform his braids that he is boycotting Florida, because they’ve been trying to run down there on their own for many years. They been trying to take the back roads and highways.
“You can’t just talk about it, you gotta be about it,” Wonder told the cheering crowd.

Zimmerman didn’t use the SYG law in his defense.
But it was there all along, as an overtone.
It’s obvious by the way that juror has spoken saying Zimmerman “had a right to defend himself if he felt threatened”.
The law was only put into play to support a way of thinking, not to preserve certain actions of self defense.
@Stevie
I kinda thought Zimmerman was going to be aquited when, prior to the conclusion of the trial, a news story came out about a white female prostitute who was shot & killed by a white guy who’s wallet she stole out of the motel room they were “doing business” in.
The jurors said she wouldn’t have been shot had she not stole the man’s money & that he was forced to shoot her. I kinda felt like we were being set up to expect Zimmerman to go free.
Hey CHan
*acquitted
Everyone should boycott Florida till this law is changed. You always have to hit them in the pockets if you want change.
Kaycei you go to the
rat now plz! 
It’s a great start. We need to find a way that will hit pockets harder. I WILL say when SYG is used CORRECTLY, it can be beneficial. There were several instances it was used when I lived in FL. One instance this guy walked into a bingo hall with a shotgun, the manager managed to pull out his gun and kill the guy. Other instances people’s houses were being robbed. SYG did not apply here whatsoever. Not even self-defense applies here. He got his car, followed someone, got his tail rightfully beat and shot an innocent, unarmed kid. Even seasoned cops can’t pull their gun that fast if someone is on top of them beating them up.

I swear, these dayum gun nuts takin the phuck over. Pretty soon it’s just goin be gun battles in the street for no phuckin reason and then when most people dead they goin sit back and talk about their 2nd amendment right and blah blah blah…
I remember when he said that ish about Lil Wayne and that Emmitt Till lyric too
Stevie has NO filter when it comes to the civil rights movement and I respect him for that. He don’t back down to no one!

Lies told on SR by Secret Agent Chan
It’s the truth anyhow.
But for real, what Stevie is doing is admirable.
Now the rest of the artists and tourists to that dreadful place need to follow the leader.
Who would have thought Stevie would be leading us!? That is profound within itself. God is so awesome and amazing!
Florida will SINK without tourists and celebs. Unfortunately alot of those celebs ain’t hearing nothing about staying off Miami Beach.
Three of the jurors thought Chaz was guilty. What happened to change their mind. Even B-37 said herself Chaz went too far, yet he was found not guilty. Talking about he learned his lesson. Disgusting.

did any of you hear about the 2 BLACK teen boys that saved a little white girl from being abducted? My Mom heard it on the news ONCE, yeah the media seems to not want to give that story a lot of coverage.

I heard about it. They have been reporting it but the news has been so saturated that it has not gotten the exposure that it should.I’ve seen it on my local news.That young man was very brave to hop on his bike to search for that little girl regardless of how old she was. She was only 5 I believe.

Oh, I didn’t know it was two black boys. They have only been interviewing one of them.
If we all came together and actually did something, besides blacking out our IG profile, we might bring about true change, but my generation WILL NEVER come together and do such a thing. (I’m sorry to say)
i applaud Stevie for this
i’m still incredibly sad about this verdit & what it implicates. i feel like such a stranger in a strange land.
i want to be somewhere where me & my ppl matter. can u tell me where that is? thanks in advance!
The media gets us to believe that we are only out here thugging and killing. Simply not the case. Proud of those young men for risking danger to save that little girl.
@EYes… I saw that… it received breif coverage…
@Lovezoe… agreed. stand your ground is a fine law IMO. folk just need to know where it applies…
TRAYVON stood his ground, ironically enough racists used that law to defend his killers actions…smdh
TO ALL WHO DON’T KNOW…. cracka is actually a slang slur for cop. Ole school folk call em ‘pigs’ kids these days call em ‘crackas’ has nothing to do with RACE….. Tray prob didn’t know the gravity until after the fought broke out cuz he legit assumed GZ was a security guard or rent a cop profiling him…. hence the term creepy azz cracka.

More celebrities should follow Steve and stand for something other than the all mighty dollar. Money is not everything especially when too many people are hurting because of this ridiculous law. I applaud Stevie.

I posted the write up downstairs. Three wanted to convict him of something but they couldnt find it in the charges and law instructions. She said most of them cried when they voted.

When You have experience Racism that shyt cuts like knife. Stevie has been in the game since way back. I am sure he has experience racism. Stevie ain’t having that shyt
Same with my father
like i’m ready to cry right now bc this chit has truly depressed me! thank God none of these idiots have uttered Trayvon or zimmerman. either one might set me clean off. DON’T bring that up around me up here. supv didnt even have the normal attitude she gets with me when i call in. that bish know!

Then lo and behold, 3 of them hoes had gun permits. They couldn’t wait to talk about a “self defense killing.”
***********************************
See what I mean!?! That should be a lesson that society is unfortunately saturated with these types. This was more or less about his right to bear and use arms than about a young man’s life! Those heaux put THEMSELVES in his position as a gun owner and made their decision from that.
This is devastating.
You know what’s interesting but real fukked up?
So Adam Lanza shoots and kills 20 kids, babies..and what do they label him?
A troubled kid. Not menace, thug, but troubled with mental issues.
Trayvon is killed by a damn hell idk what to call him, but instead of them labeling the killer, they label the victim, essentially calling him a thug, bully, weed smoker.

Hello Everyone
I commend Stevie Wonder for his actions, he has always spoke out on inequality and injustice…kudos to him
I didn’t watch the trial. I just couldn’t bare it after I heard that BABY scream for his life. So a child can have his life taken away while walking to the store to grab some snacks, because a fat wannabe loser bastard profiles him..WOW
With that being said F**K Georgie Porgy, his racist brother, daddy and mammie zimmerman, his fat ox of a wife and any junior z’s
they can all get it…doesn’t the bible say an eye for an eye
I HATE THAT CRACKA

Ahhh Zoe, sorry to break it to you but Miami in itself is pretty darn racist..its INSTITUTIONAL so you don’t see it right away.
Its either the Browns vs Blacks, or the Jews vs the BROWNS AND BLACKS.
Look at the Miami Heat games. Filled with over 90% sprites. Betcha if you asked one of em to host some of the players they would say yes..but only after hestating to answer.
And if they saw one of their players wandering in their neighborhood, they would def call the police without hesitation.
Even the socioeconomic classes are staggering…and lets not mention the public education system

Trayvon was tried and convicted for his own death.
Question: Serious, no joke.
Should the attorney’s wife even have been allowed on the jury? Couldn’t she have been coached by her husband what to say to get on and i’m sorry, isn’t it possible that as the wife of an attorney, she was able to sway the opinions of the others? Not saying that was the case but, I have been wondering about that.
And why I just read his fat azz has some molestation charges pending

Because that dirty Bumb Bump was being nasty and diry with a young family member. He also was beating up an ex gf and stalking someone. He beat both those charges though. I guess everyboddy daddy needs to be a judge. Mind you, not one soul brought this up in court. smdh.

I don’t think so. Hey @Bomb can they retry him because of that?
“Researchers at the Urban Institute also found striking racial disparities in how Stand Your Ground laws played out once a defendant claims self-defense. In Stand Your Ground law states, twice as many homicides are justified than in non-stand your ground states, and when white shooters kill black victims, 34% of the homicides are deemed justifiable, but when the shooter is Black and the victim is white, only 3% of deaths are ruled justifiable.”

@ Nakeya…I read somewhere that the Martin family attorney did not want to bring up the molestation out of respect for the victim but, she told the story herself after so, I guess they’re going to try to convict him for that now.

No being an attorney or a spouse of an attorney, family member etc doesn’t prohibit you from being on a jury… however, if it is found that since this jury was supposed to be sequestered, she solicited advice from her husband outside the rules of the court there may be grounds to seek revocation of the ruling…
I live in FL and I wish I could boycott it my damn self. They way I see it the law worked the way it was set up to work. While gorgy porgy was the perpetrator of this heinous crime the greatest threat to Trayvon and to young black boys is the “system,” and Despite a 911 operator’s clear instruction to stay in his vehicle and not to approach Trayvon Gorgy Porgy, informed by the system, could not risk allowing this “punk” to get away.
GET OUT THE VOTE in 2014 YALL. LET’s Change the “system” and vote down this BS SYG law.

I shook my head and almost deleted him BC if he has a son and he has any coloring he will be seen as black and profiles by some like TM.

@ Who dat really????
SYG was the reason GZ was not initially charged with a crime. Trayvon’s death was not treated as a homicide so the crime scene wasn’t processed properly, i.e. an effort to protect the integrity of the scene especially since it was raining. The “evidence” that was gathered was moot. I admire Stevie
Now some folks say that we should be glad for what we have. Tell me would you be happy in Village Ghetto Land?

Hey sweet FayFay!!
I am feeling all kinds of way, just like you. I am mad as hell and I want to do something 
I have stayed away from Florida for years now, my money is NOT going their way. Last time I was at South Beach, I had a good time, but the “vibe” in the area never did nice, so fluck dem racist fluckers!!
Fay I got ya
Ion think I could have waited that long I was 17 when I lost mine because I was just curious about sex with all the kids @ school saying you gotta try it
Never boycott the
NEVER! When this heat wave passes, I am gone order some for my momma.
@ Dem Babies – I made it to 20, too, right after I got engaged. Then couldn’t stand his azz once I gave up the cookies! Glad I got it out of the way before I murried his behind! Then I became slutty, tryna make up fo’ lost time!!!
Now I’ve been married 20yrs, and have to almost be bribed to
The Pearl! says:
Thank you, Buttercup! There’s a lot of conversation regarding “what do I tell my son” (about how to conduct himself — whether to flee or to fight). Also the fact that if Trayvon had dialed 9-1-1 he may still be alive, but as black people we have an inherent fear of law enforcement. His friend, Rachel, told him “run!” Calling 9-1-1 never occurred to him, apparently. We also need to teach our young men that walking around looking and acting “thugish” and/or “bad-ass” may make someone racially profile them. But then I ask, when are we really free (if we have to bend and bow to others’ perception of us). We’re talking hundreds of years of sh*t that needs to be undone and we’re nowhere close, but being kinder to one another (blacks to blacks as well as people in general) is a good place to start.
********************
You betta preach!! But what pisses me off is we HAVE to bend and bow at the others perceptions of us. Example, I had a job interview and felt so condemned about my blonde/gold micros, that I took them out before the interview and died my hair back brown.
But, white ppl dye their hair all the times blonde but no one says anything about that! Lil white girls were booty shoots and 2 pc bikinis, but the second a Black girl does it, we look ghetto? Kim K and Kourtney can have babies outta wedlock and but a Nia Long or another Black chick does it and she’s a slore and is condemned??
White boys can wear long hair and Justin Beiber bangs, but a Black guy with dreads is condemned and profiled and labled a thug????
Your observation is very profound.
what you said 100%.
@Gigi… talk that talk girl…Miami worse than up north them (imo) cuz at least in Tally you KNOW they’re racist. In Miami, they’re racist behind smiles.
I say we SHOULD boycott all companies who support these type of legislation. Businesses support politicians, quickest way to see results is to fugg with the politicians’ funding
I need my
guhl… I can’t be getting no stretch marks over Porky’s fat azz 
thanks Jen & Zoe!
YARDIE!!!
listen..i’m trying to find an escape route as i font. asking around where is it we can go that aint racist. i cant/wont deal with this chit the rest of my life!
it’s too damn short for that sis! & my feelings towards the yts are NOT improving. i don’t like feeling like this either!

Pieces of an article Richard Cohen wrote in the Washington Post:
“I’m tired of politicians and others who have donned hoodies in solidarity with Martin and who essentially suggest that, for recognizing the reality of urban crime in the United States, I am a racist,” wrote longtime Post columnist Richard Cohen. “The hoodie blinds them as much as it did Zimmerman.”
“It’s what’s worn by a whole lot of thugs,” Cohen said. “Look in the newspapers, online or on television: you see a lot of guys in the mugshots wearing hoodies.”

Oh, I didn’t know it was two black boys. They have only been interviewing one of them.

A truth yu a talk sistren
Go, Steveland Morris!!! Go!!! :woot:
Many states have some form of Stand Your Ground law. Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania , , Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Wyoming have adopted Castle Doctrine statutes, and other states (Iowa, Virginia, and Washington) have considered “Stand Your Ground” laws of their own.
Some of the states that have passed or are considering “stand your ground” laws already implement “stand your ground” principles in their case law. Indiana and Georgia, among other states, already had “stand your ground” case law and passed “stand your ground” statutes due to possible concerns of the case law being replaced by “duty to retreat” in later court rulings. Other states, including Washington and Virginia, have “stand your ground” in their case law but have not adopted statutes; West Virginia had a long tradition of “stand your ground” in its case law before codifying it as a statute in 2008. These states did not have civil immunity for self-defense in their previous self-defense statutes.
Before passage of the law, Miami, Florida police chief John F. Timoney called the law unnecessary and dangerous in that “…[w]hether it’s trick-or-treaters or kids playing in the yard of someone who doesn’t want them there or some drunk guy stumbling into the wrong house, you’re encouraging people to possibly use deadly physical force where it shouldn’t be used.”
