Stevie Wonder Tells Oprah He Is Permanently Moving to Ghana to Protect Grandchildren from Injustice
People ^ | February 23, 2021 | Darlene Aderoju

During a recent interview with Oprah Winfrey, the 25-time Grammy-winner, 70, opened up about his future plans to live in Ghana indefinitely — as part of his efforts to shield his lineage of grandchildren and great grandchildren from racial injustice in the U.S.

"I wanna see this nation smile again," he told Oprah, 67. "And I want to see it before I leave to travel to move to Ghana, because I'm going to do that."

When asked if he plans to relocate permanently, the star replied, "I am, because I don't want to see my children's children's children have to say, 'Oh, please like me. Please respect me. Please know that I am important. Please value me.' What kinda [life is that]?"

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."

Check this out:

If you are born with a disability they believe you have been possessed by evil spirits.

Stevie should have a good time convincing the locals that his blindness happened shortly after his birth. I am sure they will take his word for it-—Not!

I see Oprah is still pushing racism which seems to be all that fat cow does nowadays.

I understand the continent and its infrastructure are poor, but I have also heard that Africans from many areas can be quite warm and hospitable towards outsiders.

I have only set foot in Egypt and Libya (literally only set foot in Libya) so I can’t say first hand.

Like many others say here...I wish those on the Left would stick to their word. They rarely do.

“I wanna see this nation smile again,” he told Oprah, 67...’

wouldn’t that be rather difficult, in his particular case...and why is Oprah’s age of any value to the story...?

The open hostilities and racism against whites is spreading like a virus.

Yeah, that's healthy for our nation.

Yes because racism doesn't exist in African countries.

How would Stevie know for certain with whom and where his children are?

I have always had the impression there are a good number of third world countries where physical deformation or disability is treated as a spiritual issue...in a bad way.

any chance this starts a trend? Probably not.

It’s all so tiresome.

$$$$ Yes, $$$$, I'm sure they are. $$$$.

Example: Ghana - Median Household Income = $2,050.
Median Per-Capita Income = $47.

Really.

"Not moved one iota". Really. Well, Stevie Wonder really showed a lot about himself with that one quote.

None of it good. Just sounds like another racist.

Nice now but so was Burkina Faso until the Muslim terrorists started moving in. You won’t like it when they come to Ghana next.
