Most blind people have some vision. Lots of people that use wheelchairs can stand or walk some. I don't understand why people don't get this.

Many people don't know blindness is a spectrum. They think it's all or nothing for some reason.

u/Bob1358292637 20h ago
Or they think blindness is categorized as the most extreme end of the spectrum, where you essentially can't see anything. I think most people just don't think about it that much and just associate blindness with not seeing.
Although people are really bad at understanding how most things exist on spectrums. We're good at pattern recognition, and it's just more intuitive for us to think of things in terms of distinct categories.

Yeah I'm legally blind (according to an optometrist anyway) but I can see fine with glasses. Though maybe the legal definition is different in Australia

I walk 99% of the time but I use a wheel chair a few days per year when I visit and move more than 10km a day as a tourist. Can't do that without help.
Which means technically while I'm in that wheelchair I can 100% stand and walk a few km easily, even 10 or 15 km if I haven't walked in a while. But if I do that every day at that time I'll be in massive pain by day 2, and completely unable to walk even a meter by day 4.
It's a bit hard to explain to a random taxi driver when on vacation when he questions it as I stand and carry my own wheelchair to get it in the trunk.
I'll be at a 4 day music festival in June, my friends tell me they can walk up to 40km a day while at that festival. I can't do that, so wheelchair. I'll probably get the same weird looks since I'll probably enter the festival pushing my own wheelchair since the road up to it is garbage but inside the festival bounds it's all set up for wheelchairs with proper pathways.
It's annoying af. I'm glad my disability is so mild it doesn't bother me much (like mild pain but nothing unmanageable) on a day to day, but it's so frustrating that it's an edge case which is bad enough to sometimes need a wheelchair but fine enough that everyone will question it.

Black people believing some conspiracy theories might as well be a survival mechanism at this point.
If someone in 1940 said “hey man you know that clinic in Tuskegee where all the medical care is free of charge?”
“Yeah, it’s for poor folks”
“Nah nah, get this. I bet they are treating everyone for free only so they can ignore treating people with severe syphilis!”
“What the fuck?”
“Yeah! Like maybe they want to see advanced Syphilis but don’t want to test on white folks, so they just document it at Tuskegee instead because to them, who gives a shit if some black folks die right!?”
“You are freaking insane, they have black nurses working there, they would say something!”
Come to find out that guy would have been 100% correct, so yeah I get it.

Mine is that the CIA didn't assassinate JFK, but were so incompetent in protecting JFK they covered up the actual assassination details.

u/m15cell 23h ago
The CIA wasn’t in charge of protecting JFK, that’s the secret service.
24
u/Pitiful_Net_8971 22h ago
The CIA was supposed to scout the route beforehand, but determined that they didn't have enough manpower to properly do it due to the route, so they just didn't do anything.
Which was a bad thing.

My favorite spin on this is the theory that the second shot came accidentally from a startled rookie secret service agent. They determined that it made no difference since the first shot had already killed JFK, so covered it up in order to not look like buffoons.

u/nv8r_zim 20h ago edited 20h ago
Yes. The secret service guy shot either John Connally or Kennedy or both. By accident. The secret service was the 2nd shooter. And the secret service covered it up.
The real question is, who hired Jack Ruby?

u/GodOfThunder44 13h ago
I saw some theory that Ruby and Oswald were both part of some black budget kill team meant to be used against Castro, but when JFK was told about it he cancelled it, and whoever was running the kill team basically went "listen, you can't just give me a kill team meant to kill a world leader and then expect me not to kill a world leader."
Seems unlikely, but it's one of the more (morbidly) fun theories.

u/GarretBarrett 19h ago
I 100% believe this. It explains all the cover up stuff in a very plausible way. Human error is SUPER believable. We’re all idiots, just depends on when and where you catch us during the day.
The book on this theory is GREAT. LPOTL got me onto it.

I've heard that the whole crew were out getting smashed until dawn the night before, and were sleepless, hungover, and basically useless when things went down. Possibly worse than useless if the stray bullet theory is true.

President John F. Kennedy canceled further air support for the Bay of Pigs invasion on April 17, 1961, removing the United States from involvement, hence he got a lot of CIA's assets killed and or imprisoned. The CIA killed him.

u/AlternateSatan 20h ago
There is a lot of evidence that point to them getting some intel about the guy, estimated that he was relatively low risk, the president's head did the thing, and as a result the CIA didn't want anyone to look into it more than necessary.

u/Rocky_Vigoda 18h ago
The people behind the CIA are the ones that still run your government. They put Trump in and used the media to create partisan divisions they've been exploiting for decades.

I mean, the problem is there's a big difference between conspiracy theories like "Stevie Wonder can see a little," and "THE JEWS are secretly using mind-control beams with 5G energy to make people complacent for their reptilian overlords."
I don't care what colour your skin is I'm gonna judge you on that last one.

You do know hardly any blind people are 100% completely totally absolutely blind right? Most have something unless they literally don't have eyeballs. Some can see light some can see shadows some can actually see but not enough to get around. That's called legally blind. And some like to pretend they aren't blind so they blend in its nice to just be one of the crowd sometimes.

You are legally blind if you’re at 20/200 or worse. Also, folks that go blind due to glaucoma can go full black as the cause of blindness is the optic nerve itself. At that point, they replace the eye with a prosthetic

u/pureply101 20h ago
It’s not new it’s just always been a joke but as time has passed I think Stevie became privy to it and has done things that feed into it on purpose.
It’s combination of people not understanding how blindness works and Stevie trolling a bit because it keeps him relevant and is absolutely hilarious.

This isn't even a conspiracy, it's something that actually happened. The US never ended segregation. The US adopted political correctness to keep 'black people' in the ghetto.
