Stevie Wonder decries racism against Obama during Andrae Crouch eulogy
Washington Times ^ | January 29, 2015 | Jessica Chasmar

While performing the eulogy for gospel music legend Andraé Crouch, Stevie Wonder decried what he believes is racism against President Obama, arguing that despite the president’s best efforts, too many Americans dislike him simply because he’s black.

“For me, seeing the world and visualizing in my mind what is going on, some of it is such a heartbreak,” Mr. Wonder said while softly playing the piano at the Jan. 21 funeral for Crouch in Los Angeles.

“We live in a time where I believe we have a president that truly wanted to see the world come together, to see this nation come together, but yet too much, too many people are judging their dislike of him based on the color of his skin,” he said, receiving applause.

“And I know there are some who say ‘no, that’s not true,’ but I’m telling you what I see,” Mr. Wonder added.

He is a singer. Just like all the blind leftist actors, why should anyone give a rats derriere what he thinks? He's blind.

How does he perceive the world and issues in our world when he lacks sight?

I don’t think about Andrae Crouch at all.. Never heard of him. Wish I’d never heard of Barry, Barack, or what ever name he’s using.

I can never even hear Stevie Wonder's name without thinking of this ridiculous Saturday Night Live skit from the 1980s. The first clip below is a real TV commercial for the Canon AE-1 camera, while the second is the parody that was done on SNL.

LMAO. Gotta love Joe Piscopo as "tennis star John Newcombe" in that SNL clip.

But, as he is blind, you have to question his understanding of racism and bigotry and those issues. How does he perceive the world and issues in our world when he lacks sight?

Most of the people who have made him rich by buying his music and going to his concerts are white.

He is a racist and can't even see skin color.

Andrae Crouch was huge in his own world. I can’t help but wonder why Stevie Wonder would be involved in his memorial. Crouch was a gospel singer, Wonder is secular. Why should he even be there? And stirring up his racist crap besides?

Stevie is blind, literally, and figuratively because he’s a racist.

I’m a racist because I don’t want to be in a communist country led by a black man? It couldn’t be I don’t want to live in a communist country just because I don’t want to live in a communist country?

“That sucks. The mans a brilliant musician but apparently a social moron. His song “If” is perhaps one the best love songs I’ve heard in any language. Obama has him sipping from the cool aid...”

Perhaps his news could have been filtered by his assistants (or manager). Given his wealth, I would be surprised if he didn’t have at least one or more butlers. Of course, a lot of hollywood and music industry types seem to have this effed up shangri la vision of utopia on earth. Frankly, I’m beginning to despise them all.

The good news is that Christians may not have even have a memory of much of the world under satan’s control once we’ve made through the tribulation. No doubt, the music of today can’t come close what we’ll hear in a new heaven and earth.

Cheers

Liberals speak to few outside their own echo chambers. They simply parrot one another. Squawk! Koch brothers! Squawk! You hate Obama because he's BLACK! Squawk! Fox news! Squawk! Sarah Palin! They simply cannot fathom that anyone thinks differently from them.

Little Stevie is still imbibing the campaign Kool-Aid that electing Obama as the "post-racial" mulatto president was going to result in racial harmony in America once and for all. Instead, BO has made it crystal clear that he identifies with his blackness and hates white people with a passion, including the ones who raised him.

Remember how his Grandma conveniently died the eve of the election? You know, the grandmother who should have gotten pain meds instead of a new hip? I'll just bet she got an extra-potent dose that night. A likely victim of the first death "panel" of one Barry Soetoro.

If he’s blind, how would he know either he or Obama’s ‘black?’ Or that people who don’t like Obama don’t like him only because of his skin color? He only knows that because he’s surrounded with black racists who’ve told him so.

He’s been a celebrity since “Little Stevie Wonder” hit the charts when he was 13 years old.... 50 years ago! He’s has always had an entourage. (read: lackeys) Above and beyond his physical blindness, he’s never known a ‘normal’ life.
