Rolling Stones pull 'Brown Sugar,' song with lyrics about slavery, from live performances

The song's out of rotation for now, but Richards and Mick Jagger said it has not been permanently canned.

Daphne Brooks, director of graduate studies at Yale University’s Department of African American Studies, counts herself as a longtime Rolling Stones fan but said the fetishizing of Black women in “Brown Sugar” — and of Puerto Rican women in “Miss You,” another Stones song — has always troubled her.

'Sir, I's be understandin' that it's just a song. I'm as sweet as cane, don't mind bein' the sugar in your Koolaid.' LOL. 'I's is smart...I's is pretty...I's is intelligent.'
