heres a good example- rolling stones sang a song called Brown sugar, It played on the radio, it got put in coffee commercials but listening to the lyrics u realise it talks about how the slavers raped the female slaves...Wow... just wow

So since you disapprove of it...you choose to promote it by saying the name and the name of the band?

the songs about his daughter getting flowers from a boy, but his reaction is a bit too over the top

No it's not. It's about a father letting go of his daughter after raising her from infancy. I don't see what all this ruckus is about.

Here is the lyrics to the song in question.

Quote

 

These are the lyrics of the song you are talking about.

Gold Coast slave ship bound for cotton fields
Sold in the market down in New Orleans
Scarred old slaver knows he's doin' all right
Hear him whip the women just around midnight

Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should

Drums beatin' cold, English blood runs hot
Lady of the house wonderin' when it's gonna stop
House boy knows that he's doin' all right
You should have heard him just around midnight

Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good
Brown Sugar, just like a young girl should

Brown Sugar, how come you dance so good
Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should

I bet your mama was a Cajun Queen,
And all her boyfriends were sweet sixteen
I'm no…

Brown Sugar, how come you taste so good
Brown Sugar, just like a black girl should

I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo
How come you, how come you dance so good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo
Just like a, just like a black girl should
Yeah, yeah, yeah, wooo

Songwriters: Keith Richards /

 

 

I don't see where there is any mention of rape.

You quoted a question I asked without answering it.

i'm sorry, I find myself at a loss as to how to explain that these lyrics are about beating and raping slave women. i think they should be removed.

I kinda agree.

There seems to me a determined effort to read into the lyrics what can't be proven to be in there. I asked the question to be answered, not to be ridiculed.  Could I please get an answer here, Thank you.
