Pop legend Stevie Wonder told white people to “overcome” their “hate” and “white supremacy” during his time at the mic during Reverend Jessie Jackson’s public funeral on Friday. Speaking of his relationship with Jesse J, he said: “It was personal and political. We were able to love each other and support each other through the good and the bad. I knew his heart, I respected his mind, and trusted his soul. I wish we could say everyone did,” he said of Jackson, who died in February at 84. Wonder also performed the song “As,” along with “They Won’t Go When I Go,” which he said “speaks the truth in my heart.” But Wonder also delivered an attack against white people.
“It is you, and you know who you are,” he lectured. “You need to overcome hate. You need to overcome the mindset of white supremacy…You shall overcome the need to dominate every single country and its people.”
Hey Stevie - you don't even know what a white person looks like, so why don't you go back to your multi-million dollar mansion a- one that an awful lotta white folk helped pay for - and shut the fuck up. That is, unless you're singin'. Then we all cool wit' dat, Homey. Jeez...

Jesse Jackson's funeral. Rev. Jesse Jackson? THE Rev. Jesse Jackson? The Rev. Jesse Jackson that called New York "Hymietown"? That Rev. Jesse Jackson?
ReplyDeleteWhy do you feel offended by Wonder's comment?
ReplyDeleteI'm white and I'm not at all offended. But then again I don't believe in white supremacy nor feel the need to dominate any other country... Seems like if you are offended is because he was talking to you but not to me.
Some introspection is always a good idea.
A funeral is not the time or the place for that, or any other lecture.
DeleteSounds more like Stevie is talking about the Jews.
