...awww, c'mon, I want to hear the explanations!Brown sugar is about the horrors of slavery and the raping of slaves?????
Jesus, I must be retarded. I’m usually pretty good with lyrics and hidden meanings but I didn’t see this one coming.
Before anyone explains it to me this was sarcasm.

FIFY
Seems to me in the era of moral preening, everyone that's offended is offended on someone else's behalf.

With this in mind, I have to say this was in the playlist for just about every highschool dance I ever attended in the 90's.Brown sugar is about the horrors of slavery and the raping of slaves?????

Ok with rap songs about shooting, selling drugs to kids, pimping bitches, and scream every racial word in the book.
I know what you mean. I saw the Eagles in ~1995 following a 14 year hiatus that led everyone to believe they were all done. That was an amazing concert. Each of the guys played a hit or two of their own stuff from their independant carreers mixed in with a number of the Eagles hits and ending the set with Hotel California.I experienced a Rolling Stones concert for the first time in my life last Saturday (10-9-21) in Nashville, watching their Nissan Stadium show from the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge. I did not even notice that their show (that ran a little over two hours) did not include Brown Sugar (or Some Girls for that matter). I'm not a big Stones fan (too garage-band chaotic sounding for my taste, I like slick and fat) but it was an impressive high-energy show and they did themselves proud for any band, much less a bunch of OLD codgers. The fireworks were great too. The whole thing was a lot fun-er than I would have predicted. Might be the end of an era, too so I'm glad I was there. Whoo-hoo. Makes up a little bit for me turning down a free ticket to go see an Elvis concert at the Charlotte Colosseum when I was in Junior High. Still kick myself over that one.
That's hysterical.
The movie "Brown Sugar" is popular in HBOMax this month.
I guess this will sin be the only t-shirt allowed.
But the other one is better.

Just because you are Offended..Doesn't Make You Right.......Battery Oaks Rule # 73a addendum 9 verse 16Those with a right to be offended generally aren't and those who are have no skin in the game so to speak.
Well yeah. It’s a solid tune. I never cared what it was about. I’d still belt those funky lyrics at the top of my lungs today while shaking my ass on the dance floor.With this in mind, I have to say this was in the playlist for just about every highschool dance I ever attended in the 90's.
Other colors are available.Why's it gotta be white on black, man?

I always thought it was a celebration of black women being a fine lay. A search online said "most" people thought it was about drugs. Oh well.
David Allan CoeThink we should tell these people about David Alan Cole?
Neil Young will soon self-flagelate in deep rue over his rape of A Cinnamon Girl.I had always heard it was about heroin, but I took it the same way you did.
