I have never, ever understood ANY of this, but this particularly baffles me.

What is the objection? It doesn't seem to glorify slavery or sexual or physical abuse of slaves. It is simply putting lyrics to music talking about it.

Heck, if things can't be even mentioned in music because it somehow romanticizes them in the minds of these mental midgets, then why isn't the BloodRock song D.O.A. banned for romanticizing fatal automobile accidents? (No doubt some people would want it banned because it is depressing)

D.O.A. (BloodRock)

I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air...

Laying here, looking at the ceiling,
Someone lays a sheet across my chest.
Something warm is flowing down my fingers
Pain is flowing all through my back.

I try to move my arm and there's no feeling
And when I look, I see there's nothing there.
The face beside me stopped bleeding
The girl I knew has such a distant stare.

I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air.

Then I look straight at the attendant,
His face is pale as it can be.
He bends and whispers something softly,
He says there's no chance for me.

I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air.

Life is flowing out my body,
Pain is flowing out with my blood.
The sheets are red and moist where I'm lying.
God in Heaven, teach me how to die.

I remember, we were flying along,
And hit something in the air.

I mean, really.

What is the damned point of ALL of this cancel crap? (besides finding another way to stoke a racial or sexual grievance...maybe that is ALL it is)

I feel it is deeper than just that.

That it saddens someone, makes someone feel bad about something, or discusses a subject that some people feel shouldn't be discussed?

This song is sure to make someone upset or depressed because it portrays a fatal car crash, perhaps to the point of causing real psychic pain (I never actively listened to this after the first time I heard it, because it is depressing...but I don't want the thing banned. It did stick in my mind after all these years, though.)

To me, folks, this is the epitome of what portrays Leftism in a nutshell. They cannot face reality.

If they don't like seeing something, they have to block their eyes, say it isn't there, and that becomes their reality.
If they don't like reading something, they not only have to avert their eyes from the book, they have to burn the book lest it somehow 'contaminate' them or others.
If they don't like smelling something, like the Muslims (Leftists of a different stripe) who complain about the smell of pork barbecue, it has to be removed for everyone.
If they don't like the way something makes them feel, then they have to eradicate it for EVERYONE.

If they don't like a song for whatever reason, as is the case here, they have to not only plug their ears, close their eyes, and shout at the top of their lungs "LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!" which would be annoying but their own business, they have to throw the song down the memory hole so NOBODY, NOWHERE, EVER hears, sees, or even knows that song ever existed because it makes them feel bad for whatever reason.

These people pushing this narrative are delusional, deranged, and dangerous if we let them be.
