Robin Williams: It doesn’t scare me that Dubya waved at Stevie Wonder; that’s okay. Stevie’s only been blind since birth! He’s like, ‘Stevie!’ and Stevie’s going, ‘Is that muthaf***a waving at me? Goddamn! Does he think I’m lookin for him? Goddamn!’
IIRC, Stevie Wonder isn’t 100% blind. He is capable of the vague discernment of light and dark and extremely vague shapes. But he is, functionally blind, by any practical definition.
So if someone was approaching him, especially if a group of friends surrounding him might have whispered into his ear, “hey, Michael’s walking up to you!“ He might’ve smiled in time for one of the dozens upon dozens of paparazzi surrounding them both to snap an opportunely-timed photo.
One must consider context

I remember that they had some good points, but with every point there was a lot of: what a weird thing to lie about for all that time

Not to nitpick, but only under such conditions could anyone trust the recordings to be purely objective.
2 big things.

Stevie Wonder is still alive.

He went blind from being born prematurely and his retinas never developed properly. He might be able to detect light or shadow. But he’s really blind. And has a history of having fun messing with people about it too.

What is up with MJ’s freakishly large hand??
Wide angle lens distortion. The camera is probably a lot closer to the whole scene than it appears, and because of that, it’s closest to whether of in the middle foreground of the frame.
What’s so strange? Stevie just wanted something to remind him of his friend.

The crazy shit this meme is complaining about was probably like the 2003 invasion of Iraq or something
Is the third guy Herbie Hancock?
