I am sick of all this crap. Granite and injustice was done to one man, but I
guess Mr. Dixon has brought an article to our attention, that shows this
guy wasn’t as much of an angel as people have made him out to be. However, he
should’ve been dealt with in a court of law, not this way. It’s not just
Black Lives Matter, but all lives matter! And that includes even those of
animals. Take care and God bless all of us. Because violence in the streets
is not the way to solve these problems.

Wonder urges action to right racial injustices By Brian McCollum Detroit
Free Press
Quoting song lyrics and citing his past racial-justice efforts, Stevie
Wonder delivered an emphatic, at times impatient video message Tuesday
urging on the Black Lives Matter movement. Saying he has listened to "voices
on the left, voices on the right," Wonder added, "What I've not heard is a
unanimous commitment to atone for the sins of this country."
The Michigan-born Motown star also singled out President Donald Trump as
"noncommittal" and cited several previous remarks by the president,
including a 2018 reference to "s---hole countries in Africa."
Wonder lamented that three states North Dakota, South Dakota and Hawaii have
failed to recognize Juneteenth as a holiday.
"I know that dance. I've heard those songs. It was an 18-year fight to
(make) Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a national holiday," said
Wonder, who teamed with late U.S. Rep. John Conyers in that ultimately
successful campaign. "Yet it was a fight I was not willing to lose."
Alluding to the weeks of protests spurred by the killing of George Floyd by
police in Minneapolis, he encouraged more from those watching.
"Systemic racism can have an ending. Police brutality can have an ending.
Economic repression can have an ending," Wonder said. "A movement without
action is a movement standing still. To those who say they care: Move more
than your mouth."
The short video, titled "The Universe is Watching Us," was posted to
Wonder's social media channels Tuesday afternoon.
"Black lives do matter. And this is not another digital, viral trend, moment
or hashtag," he said, adding: "Yes, all lives do matter, but they only
matter when black lives matter too."
