Stevie Wonder: 'I Never Thought of Being Blind and Black as a Disadvantage'

[wideawake]

I think Frank Ocean's narrative was a very intelligent ploy to boost his record sales by accessing millions of "progressives" who normally would never bother to purchase a contemporary R&B album.

His story is a selling point for radio programmers, music journalists, festival promoters and for crossover into other media as well.

He retroactively "came out" just as he launched the publicity campaign for his new record.

I suspect it's all just a story.

Into the memory hole with this one.

Did Little Stevie sing his Barrack Obama song?

I've met neanderthals like that, they think that being homosexual, implies that you are homosexual, sheesh.

[ansel12]

On a slower reading I realize that this is actually a bold statement by wonder.

He will be made to get his mind right for this.

If someone is confused about their gender then, yes, they are confused.

Wonder’s remarks may seem a little reactionary to some of his fans

To most others they seem to simply reflect reality.

I think homosexuality IS the mental illness that it was considered to be for all those years before political correctness and the homofacists got it overturned.

I really believe there are a lot of liberals (particularly whites) who became gay because it was politically correct. My brother is one. If you are schooled in liberal America, you are taught that straight white males are the evil oppressors - oppressors of blacks, oppressors of Hispanics, oppressors of Native Americans, oppressors of women and oppressors of homosexuals.

Well, if you happen to be a straight white liberal male, you can’t change your race or your gender but you *can* become a homosexual so you can go through life as a victim like all your other liberal friends are doing and not be thought of as among the evil oppressors. It sounds stupid, I know, but I honestly believe there are liberals (who are inundated with group identity politics) who have convinced themselves they are gay simply because they don’t want the guilt associated with being a straight white male.

Stevie Wonder is a black democrat. You won’t hear a peep out of the libs for his statement. Had he been a white Christian singer, all hell would be breaking loose right now with the left demanding his label drop him immediately. They they’d picket his concerts.

Since Stevie did not say “being gay is so wonderful” or stuff like that...he will get attacked in the HomoFascist community

Among Liberals, it seems to be more important to be Homosexual than to be Black

[ClearCase_guy]

Wonder’s remarks may seem a little reactionary to some of his fans, who are used to his consistent message of universal love

I think they are equating "Universal love" with a compulsion to go in through the out door.

Wonder probably sees a distinction between the two. I bet most of his fans see it also. But not the journalists.

Speaking of blindness and gayness. Has anybody ever heard of anybody who was born blind, being gay?
