SMASH BIGOTRY! STAND AGAINST RACISM! PROTEST TED NUGENT'S HATE SPEECH IN OUR CITY!
The racist, sexist, homophobic Ted Nugent has made some disgusting statements about Trayvon Martin and Black people in general since the verdict was reached in the Zimmerman murder trial.
He is slated to play at Toad's Place on August 6th at 7:30 PM. Some New Haven area residents, including the local NAACP chapter, have come together and politely asked the owners of Toad's Place to cancel the show in solidarity for some in the community who are in mourning over this travesty of justice. The owners have refused to cancel the show, wrongly citing Nugent's First Amendment right to free speech. Legally, they, as private business owners, can choose to utilize their personal discretion as to whose speech to permit on their premises. Therefore they are choosing to promote Nugent's hate.
Some things Nugent has said:
* “Trayvon had no reason not to attack, because it was the standard thug thing to do.”
* Trayvon Martin was a "17-year-old dope smoking, racist gangsta wannabe."
* "if Trayvon Martin was a minor, then Trayvon Martin’s parents may be held liable for the emotional pain and suffering Mr. Zimmerman has been put through..."
* "Apartheid isn't that cut and dry. All men are not created equal. The preponderance of South Africa is a different breed of man.
