"Brown Sugar" by The Rolling Stones

"Brown Sugar" by The Rolling Stones
Many people get up at the Karaoke bars and sing this Rolling Stone classic, as if it were an ode to the African American woman. Well SURPRISE folks, it's actually a song about European plantation owners raping African slaves. With some of the outlandish lyrics, it's crazy more people didn't realize sooner.
"Gold Coast Slave Ship Bound For the cotton fields, Sold in a market down in New Orleans, Scared Old Slaver knows he's doin' alright, Hear him with the women just around midnight."
