.....but if I suggest that Florida and the 21 states that Stevie Wonder is
boycotting......turn around and boycott Stevie's records and TV
appearances that would be a racist's statement but his statement is not? I'm
so
confused in my old age.....

_Daily Mail_
(http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2365696/Stevie-Wonder-declares-boycotting-Florida-21-states-Stand-Your-Ground-laws-Zimmermans-acqu
ittal.html) : Music legend Stevie Wonder has announced that he won't
perform again in Florida again until the state's notorious 'Stand Your
Ground'
law is repealed. His decision follows the outrage by other celebrities
and performers at the acquittal of neighborhood vigilante George Zimmerman
The singing legend made his statement at a show in Quebec City, Canada,
over the weekend.
He said: 'I decided today that until the 'Stand Your Ground' law is
abolished in Florida, I will never perform there again. 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.'
He continued: '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.'
Under the 'Stand Your Ground Law' a person is able to use deadly force if
they fear their life is under threat. Florida officials have repeatedly
said they will not consider scrapping the controversial law.
Zimmerman,29, was cleared of the second degree murder of Trayvon Martin
after a trial that divided America. He has gone into hiding amid death
threats.
Outrage over the Zimmerman verdict has led to an outpouring of anger on
the streets of many US cities.
Black performers have used Twitter to express their anger that Zimmerman
was not held accountable for the death of Trayvon Martin in Sanford,
Florida.
Stars such as Jay-Z, Beyonce, A Tribe Called Quest and Q-Tip are among
those who've dedicated live performances to the late teenager.
Since George Zimmerman's controversial acquittal, civil rights groups
and leaders have called for legal action against the neighborhood watch
volunteer.
On Sunday, in a move which could have dramatic ramifications, the
Justice Department confirmed today that it will look into the shooting death
of
Trayvon Martin to determine whether federal prosecutors should file
criminal charges against George Zimmerman in the wake of his acquittal.

Poor Stevie Wonder, doesn't he even realize the Stand Your Ground Law
wasn't even involved in this case?
How self-important does he think he his that state lawmakers will now
change their laws just because of his personal opinion? What an ego...
