Ebony Magazine Lampoons Tea Party For Supposed Boycott Over Trayvon Covers

Ebony will have four covers in September, all of which honor Trayvon Martin. On one cover, Miami Heat basketball player Dwayne Wade is surrounded by his two sons, both of whom are wearing hoodies.

At conservative news site Breitbart, one commenter urged those who didn't like the covers to "boycott the Heat and the magazine!" Actress and singer Anika Noni Rose, known for her role in the musical "Dreamgirls," tweeted a response: "Dear tea-party, you can't boycott something you've never utilized."

Ebony took to Twitter Wednesday to lampoon tea partiers after its upcoming Trayvon Martin covers sparked a small controversy in conservative circles.

We have so many Tea Party readers and followers. To lose all zero of them due to our September cover would be devastating.
