I’m not having this. This is too far. The Rolling fuçking Stones a banned they have given more support to the blues and black music than most others out together. Fuçk. Off. 😡

More than Led Zep, anyway.
Sure I read that they’ve insisted on various bluesmen as well paid support acts. They’ve also promoted the causes of many black artists and paid a shedload of royalties.
White British bands of the 60s changed the lives of countless black musicians and their families for the better,

'Brown Sugar' is just a story, that references the fact that slave owners (who believed people with black skin were beneath them, believed them to be no more than animals) found black girls sexually attractive and raped them. It's a song that points out the hypocrisy, the cruelty and the stain on the soul of all involved.
It's a song that shines light on racism and asks us not to forget, it is not a celebration of racism. Jesus Christ, nearly all of the Stones' musical heroes were black...the bloody music they were playing was black music that originated in the South.
...but you see, this is the path we are sliding down and it is because too many have remained silent when untruths were told and behaviour we know to be wrong was celebrated. The few that have been speaking out have been shouted down as "racists" by those on the Left with political agendas, which has been shameful and irresponsible.

"It's a song that points out the hypocrisy, the cruelty and the stain on the soul of all involved."
That sounds rather fanciful to me. Jagger had a vain and unpleasant habit of bigging himself up by adopting various nasty personae - try the lyrics of Midnight Rambler, for example, where he "becomes" a violent rapist.
Or his demonic image in Sympathy for the Devil. The image came unstuck at Altamont though, when some real evil took place in front of him, as he witnessed a black bloke getting knifed to death by beer-sodden Hells Angels, who'd been hired as security, and had already spent much of the evening battering random people with leaded pool cues in front of the stage.
Loved the Stones as a teenager, still do, but Jagger was always a bit of a posing, prancing, priapic egoist. (Too much alliteration 😳)
And don't get me started on his slew of songs with horribly sexist lyrics (Under my Thumb, Out of Time, Play with Fire). Must have been fashionable at the time.
All the Stones' tunes mentioned here are brilliant, but by f*ck, the words in them make me retch 🤢

"Brown Sugar" featured in one of the Beeb's Pop Master questions this morning.
