In Ghana they eat Soylent Black.... :-)

I recently watched a TV documentary about Motown. Barry Gordy and Smokey Robinson, among others talked a lot about how music is truly colorblind and how they were able to use their music to blur the racial lines.

I agree wholeheartedly. I love 70’s R&B and how radio stations made it a point to play crossover music.

I once read a story where Wilson Picket called a music studio and told the owner he wanted those funky black brothers to back him up. The owner said those funky black brothers are awfully white but would be glad to play the sessions.

Then there’s Stevie Wonder. All race all the time. “Music is a world within itself, with a language we all understand” Apparently he doesn’t believe his own words.

Well, bye

None so blind as those that can not see

[Oldeconomybuyer]

I guess Stevie isn’t color blind.

[Buffalo Bob]

From 1713 ‘Works of Thomas Chalkley’,

“There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know.”

I’m reminded of an SNL skit he was in years ago...

“I wanna see this nation smile again,”
“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]?”

Oh say can you see, Stevie???

[PGalt]

LOL! He said dat to harpO?

i don’t think stevie wonder will see his grandchildren face racism...

[Jess Kitting]

He Is Permanently Moving to Ghana to Protect Grandchildren from Injustice

Stevie Wonder has grandchildren in Ghana? Who knew?

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

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

[IrishBrigade]

“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...?

[rxsid]

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

Yeah, that's healthy for our nation.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

Yes because racism doesn't exist in African countries.

[CodeToad]

A rich black dood claiming there is no justice for blacks.

[cdcdawg]

any chance this starts a trend? Probably not.

It’s all so tiresome.

[rlmorel]

"...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.

"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.

[Fido969]

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.

[Fair Paul]

I guess in the U.S. Wonders will cease.

[Richard Axtell]

Trouble is, Stevie will be going to a region of severe ethic repression and terrorist murder. Wasn’t that what he says he wished to escape? Ghana may not be Cameroon, or Nigeria, but it also is not he United States of America. But, then again, the Fascists under the Oligarchs have taken over here, so Bon Voyage, Mr. Wonder!
