Singer-songwriter Toni Braxton weighed in on the George Zimmerman verdict this afternoon, and let it be known she is embarrassed by our country.

We wish she’d consider some alternatives:


A lot of people are feeling embarrassed right now:


And there’s this:

Someone to really be taken seriously, not.

Wouldn't it be nice if ALL these sheeple that are embarrassed to be Americans went ahead and renounced their citizenship and sought citizenship elsewhere like Tina Turner did

Don't let the door hit you in the azz biotch.

Got i, thanks!

Is she also helping Tipper Gore clean up music? [jester]

Unbeknownst to Zimmerman, I've been in touch with the Skittles folks & we've come up with a new delicious candy in honor of the verdict- AQUITTALS!
Congrats, George! Now leave the policing work to experts over 5' 8" who don't wear size 44 Dockers.

I heard Zimmerman is offended by her lack of talent.

That is why he shot Trayvon.

RIHANNA has revealed her anger over the Trayvon Martin trial which threatens to spark race riots in the US - saying the victim could have been her brother.

She took to Instagram after George Zimmerman was cleared of shooting to death the unarmed 17-year-old claiming the US criminal justice system was "phucked".

The 25-year-old singer spoke out on the matter the morning after Zimmerman, 29, was found not guilty.

Posting a photo of Trayvon on Instagram, Rihanna wrote: "A child was gunned down for no reason! And nothing about that sounds like murder? My baby brother is 17, this rocked my whole s***! #thesystemisandhasalwaysbeenphucked"

On Twitter she also said: "This is the saddest news ever!!! #whatsjustice #pray4theMartinFamily"

She added: “Only in America #TrayvonMartin”


The pop star then urged her 30MILLION followers to sign a petition to the Department of Justice.

She also criticised the American justice system saying: “A system cannot fail those it was never built to protect #JudicialFail”

Outrage poured from street demonstrations as protesters called for justice for the victim.


In New York City, hundreds of protesters marched into Times Square on Sunday night, zigzagging through the streets to avoid police lines.

Sign-carrying marchers thronged the busy intersection, chanting “Justice for Trayvon Martin!”


Beyonce Knowles' sister Solange held a rally for Trayvon to speak out against the Zimmerman verdict on Sunday afternoon.

World heavyweight boxing champion Lennox Lewis also took to Twitter to express anger at the verdict.



He said: “Let’s hope this doesn’t lead to the deaths of more black children. How u respond is most important right now.”



George Zimmerman said he was defending himself and was cleared of second degree murder and manslaughter at a court in Florida on Saturday.



Film at 11..... 🐴 🐴

Too good to be true.


Wrong, Rihanna. What happened was, Trayvon wasn't a child and he was shot in self-defense because he made the fatal mistake of trying to beat the snot out a bumbling neighborhood watch captain who happened to be armed that night.
