He sang it, but doesn't believe it.
That was probably more fitting in the 80s when it was made. Relations were more cohesive then.

I love Stevie Wonder`s music! He has a right to live where ever he wants. What about all the other celebrities that said they would leave the country, if Trump won. I wish they would leave the country.

The same people who constantly tell people "if you don't like it, leave" are mad that he's leaving?

He can do what he wants, he's a legend.

Hasn't moved one iota.


You really have to be delusional to make a statement like that. The statement is really just a power game...it says things have moved substantially, but the outcomes are not what we want.

From the link...

Last month, in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. day, the musician wrote an emotional letter to the late civil rights leader and addressed the lack of racial advancement since the fight for equality, which began in the U.S. in the mid-1950s.

"Dear Dr. King, I met you when I was 14 years of age," he began. "You were a true hero and you became an inspiration."

Wonder later said, "It is painful to know that needle has not moved one iota. For 36 years, we've had a national holiday honoring your birthday and principles, yet you would not believe the lack of progress. It makes me physically sick. I am sick of politicians trying to find an easy solution to a 400-year problem."


The needle has not moved one iota...
  • A black president for eight years
  • athletes and entertainers make enough money collectively to handle reparations by themselves
  • his own career - able to make a ton of money being blind
  • a black female VP
  • wages for black folk were at record levels under Trump
  • a ton of black owned businesses

I don't know what he is looking at... Is it perfect? It will never be perfect.

Oh.... he's looking at the politicians. That's the problem. They don't want progress. They need the racial discord.
It almost sounds like he is a black nationalist. You know, the black equivalent of the evil white nationalist?

Ghana's a fine country, and they speak English so he'll probably enjoy it there.

I guess he never quite figured out that all races can have success and "be liked" for who they are. I suppose he's the exception that proves his stupid rule.

Finally someone puts their money where their mouth is.

Respect!

Please don’t come back.

Being a racial/ethnic minority in any nation is probably strange for most.
It makes sense that people will gravitate to places where there are others like them.
