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."

Brilliant musician in his day - now just a brainwashed lib idiot who may learn a lesson the hard way.
No, he’s not gonna “see” that when he gets off the plane. Just as he hasn’t ‘seen’ anything that’s actually gone on in America since the Trump Coup Project held sway and BLM started driving our so-called “politics”
Oh please this would be great.
Has Go-Fund-Me set up a “Back To Wakanda” account?
And just how would you even know that?
Have you been to Ghana before?
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass Stevie !
What a coward.
Damn shame he wasn’t born in Ghana with the chance to grow up there - just think of all the opportunities a poor blind black kid would have to become a multi-millionaire if he’d lived his whole life in Africa rather than the evil US.
If you have any manhood, don’t bring them back
And it is my understanding that they sold other blacks into slavery; how does that jibe with supposed “injustice” here in the US?
While Stevie is in Ghana, he needs to ask his distant cousins why they sold his ancestors into slavery.
ebola is there in Ghana.
I’m sure the apologists rationalize the extant slave trade in Africa by Africans as: ‘How else dey going to get dey money?’
Good riddance.
Because there are never violent revolutions in Africa.
I don’t know how much of that movie Stevie actually saw,
——————-
Phrasing....
Since he can’t see he may not notice if his money goes with him or not...He may live in a shack in Ghana instead of a mansion and not know the difference...
Bye
