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.

Stephan Hawking, gifted scientist that he is, accepts the man-made global warming fiction without question and broadly pontificates on it even in the face of evidence that should cause reconsideration in all but the most tenacious sucker..er...believer.

Stevie Wonder, talented musician that he is, falls for the “Obama’s hated because of his back skin” fabrication that anyone with an ounce of self determination can conclude, even without eyes, is pure BS.

Some people have a narrow spectrum of brilliance and outside the boundaries it drops off sharply. Then they fall prey to the same cult think that all mortals do who don’t remain vigilant.

To paraphrase “ I don’t not like him because mocha java milk chocolate colored, I don’t like him because he’s a communist that is trying to destroy the country I love”!

Hmmm, if I dislike Obama’s white half as much as I dislike his black half, does that make me an anti-white racist? Trying to figure out racism can be confusing.

Stevie has no explanation for why the so-called "racists" who don't like Obama, do like Mia Love, Ben Carson, Clarence Thomas, Larry Elder, Star Parker, Thomas Sowell, and Walter Williams.

I suspect Stevie's never heard of most of those people. He lives in a bubble.

Oh my, my, my, my. I love Stevie Wonder, all of his original stuff. didn’t like the stuff that was written for him, those cheesy pop songs. I loved the things he put together with his heart, all those love songs, the fun songs.

I’m not really star struck by famous people but when I saw him in a restaurant I could barely eat.

My friend sang Ribbons in the Sky at my first wedding. I listened to Blame It On The Sun when I accidentally broke someone’s heart (happened a lot and it wasn’t fun). Three years ago I played “Isn’t She Lovely” for weeks after my only daughter was born. And yes, it was my ringtone.

I try to pretend he doesn’t say these horrible racist things, try to pretend he isn’t an idiot racist, only loving Obama so much because Obama’s teen mama chose an African man to darken her baby’s skin.

Dear Gd, Stevie, just shut up and sing.

I grew up in suburban Detroit in the 1950-60s - my first awareness of Stevie was in 1963 with this song, my fav forever:

Okay, Stevie, I despise Obama because of his color: Commie Red.

If anything, the Obama “experience” has been highly effective at exposing all the latent/closet racists who have been hiding in plain sight.

Yo Steeevie! Your 15 minutes were over a long time ago buddy! And your “music” still sucks, IMHO.

I was so embarrassed I didn't correct it. It was a long, long day yesterday.

I meant "As" - By Stevie (he HATE YOU) Wonder

Stevie - it's time to tell you the truth now; you are not Black. You are a WASP but we needed another "Black" to make it big. Sorry for the confusion.

Stevie's reply: "Get that N***** out of the dang White House - he got no business telling us Whites how to be."

Okay. Both tunes are excellent, although “As” tends to drone on at the end, as do many Stevie Winder tunes. Hope your day goes well.
