Stevie Wonder once again shows his frustration with the President. Wonder is a very talented musician and singer.
Stevie Wonder shared the spotlight with Beyonce a few weeks earlier at a fundraiser. He spoke out against racism and climate change.
Now he stands by the NFL and all of those who fight against racism. He made reference to the flag amidst the numerous incidents involving African Americans.
He believes Trump is helping to push racism and says he cannot show patriotism because of this.
Trump is currently in a controversial issue with some from the NFL and NBA.
Stevie Wonder performed at the New York music festival.
Both Knees
Wonder spoke before his performance began. He made reference to those who kneeled while the National Anthem played.
He said “tonight, I’m taking a knee for America; but not just one knee, I’m taking both knees.”
Wonder continued “both knees in prayer for our planet, our future, our leaders of the world and our globe. Amen.”
He asked those in the audience to denounce bigotry and racism.
He said “our global brothers and sisters, I didn’t come here to preach, but I’m telling you, our spirit must be in the right place. All the time — not just now, but tomorrow and whenever you, whenever you, whenever you need to interrupt hate. Stand down bigotry, condemn sexism and find love for all of our global brothers and sisters every day.”
His son Kwame Morris shared the stage with him at that point.
