I rather like brown sugar and I will continue to like it. What would the politically correct rat 🐀 bastards prefer we call it? Sugar that’s racist?

I totally agree with you on that since technically, it’s not just the song that gets ‘cancelled’, it’s all the memories associated with that song. How far does one take ‘cancelling’? Throw out all Stones albums that have the song (and other similar ones) on it? Throw out all pictures and memories of Stones concerts where the song was played... and never speak of them again? Sheeeeesh... how about cancelling yourself and all the people who hung out together enjoying the song at parties etc.? Getting rid of the 8 track player that the song dared to be played on.....
This is the problem with cancel culture... there technically is no limit since it’s impossible to draw the boundaries.
Am reminded of the song Brother Louie originally by the bi-racial British band Hot Chocolate (#7 UK), about a white-black relationship: “Danger danger when you taste brown sugar, Louie fell in love overnight”. A 1-hit wonder US band, Stories, took it to #1 here.
The original version contains a couple spoken word bits: “I don’t want no honky in my family...” The song embraces the interracial love affair: Ain’t no difference if you’re black or white, brothers you know what I mean
How about the N word popping up in songs or song titles..
John Lennon: Woman is the N——er of the World
Frank Zappa: He ain’t no n——er no more (You Are What You Is)*
But it pops up in lots of rap songs and that’s OK, it’s a term of endearment.

Of the Negro Persuasion
Devoted his life
To become a caucasian
He stopped eating pork
He stopped eating greens
He traded his dashiki
(”Uhuru!”)
For some Jordache Jeans
He learned to play golf
An’ he got a good score
I think it will get worse, before it gets better.
