In a world that’s experiencing so much anger and turmoil, Stevie Wonder is expressing his empathy for those on the frontline fight for racial equity and basic civil rights.
In a YouTube video titled “The Universe Is Watching Us,” Wonder didn’t hold back when it came to his feelings on racism and the failings of Donald Trump.
“It’s a bad day when I can see better than your 2020 vision,” the blind singer-songwriter expressed in the five-minute video message. “The universe is watching us… I’m talking about you, I’m talking about me, I’m talking about every single body.”
Quoting lyrics from his 1973 classic song, “Visions,” Wonder continued, “’I’m not one who makes believe/I know that leaves are green.’ If life can have an ending, all things can have an ending. Systemic racism can have an ending. Police brutality can have an ending. Economic repression of black and brown people can have an ending. People can have an ending. A movement without action is a movement standing still.”
