Congressional Black Caucus Unhappy With White and Hispanic Women On Juries: would support Florida boycott over Zimmerman Verdict

The Hill reports:
A number of House Democrats are lining up behind the Rev. Jesse Jackson's threat for an economic boycott of Florida following the not-guilty verdict in the death of Trayvon Martin. The lawmakers, all members of the Congressional Black Caucus, are fierce critics of the process that led to George Zimmerman's acquittal in the fatal shooting last year of the Florida teenager. Exerting pressure on Florida's economy as Jackson is suggesting, they said, could help overturn the state's controversial stand-your-ground laws that many contend contributed to the tragedy.
All you probably know, there were no white males on the Trayvon Martin jury. Only women. The only conclusion here is the Congressional Black Caucus has declared war on white and Hispanic women because they feel women are incapable of being part of the jury process. #waronwomen.
