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."

Maybe Mr. Wonder can lead a movement. All leftist Blacks that think America is hopelessly racist should return to the African motherland to bask in the glow of a non-racist, peaceful, well-run, and economically successful continent. All leftist Whites and others should also follow suit. They shouldn’t stay here for another day.
I ‘ve viewed first hand how some African blacks, look down at American blacks. I’m thinking of 2 educated Africans and one thought it was a joke how Americans made a big deal out of slavery from a long time ago. I remember him laughing about it.
Well, who didn’t see this coming?

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.
Really?
Hilarious.
There is a huge swath of America that is middle class, upper middle class, wealthy and private jet wealthy. Oh, I guess they are black.
Are you making excuses for their success?
Here in California about 1/5th of relationships are interracial. What are we to make of that?
Moreover, you are objectifying a class of people and consigning them a life of failure as they resign themselves to some inferiority because of the color of their skin.
You as a leading voice are a disgrace on this issue.
He can’t see that he is making himself and family a pretty rich target?
Is he going to give back all the racist money he made from
Racist Americans ???
Just sayin’... you know, all kindasortahypothetical-like ....
Stevie got confused as to whether his glass is completely full or entirely not empty.
He’s looking for paradise. Hope he takes lots of bottled water to see him through.
We can only hope that many more will follow him.
😎
See ya!
WHAT is he, BLIND??? There is NO better place on earth for Blacks than America!!! Whites are now TARGETTED!
Ghana’s a GREAT PLACE??? Tell us more...I’m looking for a GREAT place to move to!
Neither did he....:)
Is that for REAL?
Here today
Chana tomorrow.
BS. He is not moving at all.
Gee, that’s funny. I’d like to find somewhere to move my family, to protect MY grandchildren from the spreading injustice.
Ghana is not the place I have in mind.....but, I’m open to freedom loving, for all - locations.
“Stevie Wonder Tells Oprah He Is Permanently Moving to Ghana to Protect Grandchildren from Injustice..”
Maybe he’ll start a trend?😎
