        Mr Allen, are you there, live in person? Because sometimes a hosting web site has their own playlist. Right now I'm watching on YouTube and hearing patriotic music. Stop the race-baiting, it's not going to work!

        If you're watching on youtube, you're probably watching the Trump TV feed, which I believe just does a rotation of patriotic songs. Most of the playlist tonight is familiar from previous Trump rallies, but I don't remember Brown Sugar playing at the other ones I've been to.

        That's not the point. Someone just told him to be quiet because of the colour of his skin. How do you people not see what is wrong with this sort of thinking? You are the thing you claim to hate.

        Then I can only assume that you STILL don't understand what it is that we are against. Stop playing the victim. It's pathetic.

        I think I’m more bothered that The Rolling Stones wrote this. Shouldn’t ever be played anywhere though.
