“Gold coast Slave ship”, “Market down in New Orleans”, “Scarred Slave trader is doing all right, you can hear him whip the women, just around midnight”.
Aint it pretty obvious.
Probably the Stones most controversial song. Especially for release in America.
It’s about the practice of slave-rape, that happened a lot in the deep south in America, right up until the 1960s.
Basically, white slave owners, who raped the young black women they owned.
The first verse refers to a slave owner raping/abusing a young black women he owns.
The second verse refers to the white house boy, in an English stately home, getting his sexual gratification from the slaves.
The last verse is Jagger himself saying, he’s no saint himself, and gets the same gratification from black women, as a white man. Of course, in loving relationships, but as I said, it’s a very very controversial song.
Basically about white men’s terrible history with black women
@ceej1979 what about the history of black on white crime that's rampant? Blacks owned slaves too why didn't you mention that? We didn't start slave trade but we ended it with countless 'white men and boys dying' because of it. And Lincoln was WHITE too. Either you have white guilt or you're a black holding on to victimhood status despite us voting for a black Muslim hating American TWICE

@ceej1979 Yes. This song is nasty. I feel really uncomfortable when it comes on. Particularly when white men start singing along and looking at me. Like, I’m gonna play along?!? You’re right, that’s what it’s about. More or less. But, there were no slaves in the United States in 1960! I think you mean 1860s, when slavery was made it illegal? Yes, there was/is still a lot of abusive black women but they weren’t slaves at any point in the 1900s. I don’t think the house boy is supposed to be white either. I don’t think it’s an English stately...

I don’t think it’s an English stately home. There were precious few slaves in the UK. slaves were mostly sent to the colonies. I think there’s an Englishman in a colonial American home who’s been hooked up by the house boy.
Man, you guys are dense!

I think this is the most accurate description.

I'd like to add that the lines "how come you taste so good" refers to cunnilingus and "just like a young girl should" refers to underage sex.

@ceej1979 Slave rape happened up until 1960? We didn't have slaves after 1865.

@jimdep Crawl back under the rock, you racist prick. Ceej1979's description is spot on, aside from maybe that date typo.
