Stevie Wonder: Can’t Say ‘Black Lives Matter’ When Blacks Are Killing Blacks

While addressing “gun violence” at a North Minneapolis Conference on Peace, musician Stevie Wonder said it is contradictory to say, “Black Lives Matter” while black-on-black crime rages out of control.

According to Billboard magazine, Wonder said, “It is in your hands to do it. It is in your hands to stop all the killing and all the shooting wherever you might be. Because you cannot say, ‘Black lives matter,’ and then kill yourselves.”

"Because you know we’ve mattered long before it was said, but the way we show that we matter, the way that we show all the various people of color matter is by loving each other and doing something about it. Not just talking about it.."

He continued:

I guarantee you that Al Sharpton would never come to such a realization.

It' good Stevie is speaking out. When someone says BLM you know they are nothing but a liar. if they were truthful they would say BLM only when a racial agenda can be attached to the death.

black lives matter only matter when a white person kills a black person, black on black crime is much higher but I guess that doesn't matter..only race....they are a domestic terrorist group...

I suggest to him that the need is not to DO anything, but the BE who we are, namely, Children of God the Father of Jesus Christ. That would be the Christian message to society. Stop trying to DO something. Start living as reconciled children. BE righteous - live the right way - love your neighbor as you love yourself.

It is past time to recognize that the government cannot save us.
It can only make things worse. Much worse.


Thank you

Maybe you all don't understand why BLM came about. Do more reading and less bandwagon

2:01 We understand why BLM came about. Oh yes we certainly do understand and we will do any and all bandwagon we want. You got it. So let me set you straight so listen up, you understand. You better. It came about because some liars decided to make martyrs out of worthless thugs who when they took their last breath the world became a better place. Hands up ring a bell. It was a lie. Thug Brown didn't have his hand up nor was he running away. But that's okay God has the back of the just and the good and that is why the officers are being found not guilty over and over and over and the thugs are right where they belong rotting in hell.

2:46 I guess your the righteous? You come on here spewing hate all the time, you are no better than BLM. Now I will ask you again where is this church attending so everyone knows to stay away from a church that it is clear they are not preaching the gospel. You remind me of the thief on the cross and I'm not talking about the one who was going to be with my Savior in paradise.

5:21, why do you ignore the truth seen in the videos? Because you have an AGENDA, not a soul. Your "church" is a thug club without a god.

7:58 Still spewing hate but claiming your righteous. I have no agenda(and it doesn't have to be in caps) and everyone has a soul black and white! The more you comment the more the evil is coming out. So what's the name of that church again?

The church is the uprising church in Hebron MD. A church where we try to form minds into believing we are better and above most others we come in contact with in society. We believe that if we attend 1-2 hours a week god will give us our hearts desires, that the bible is meant solely to prosper our few

Amen Stevie you have a heart and are a fair man. It is all races not just one all lives matter but it goes even farther if you were not taught love for each other at home, then God should have come into your heart, and common sense teaches you right from wrong, even if you don't use it WE ALL KNOW BETTER.
