if released today? I don't get it. What exactly would be so controversial about the lyrics?

I think you can find more controversial lyrics with the Stones. Just like a black girl should? Jinkies!

I tend to agree with Mead, in that I don't think anyone has actually ever said that.

But if I tried to put myself into the mindset of Twitter assholes who find literally everything offensive on the slightest of pretexts solely because they live their lives on a constant quest to be offended and outraged...

I suppose one could argue that Paint It Black could be seen as a song that trivializes depression?

There's a line about someone's face being painted black... so blackface and implied cultural appropriation? The color black is being treated as a negative, therefore automatic racism and bigotry?

Everything being painted black is totally a metaphor for how black people want to take over the world and put white people into camps and thus pushes a white power agenda?

There's a line about girls wearing summer clothes, so radical feminists have a reason to be pissed at ocular sexual harassment and the Patriarchy?

It's actually a very good song, and thus could never be released in the current era of studio manufactured content where most popular music is kind of shit?

Brown Sugar (having sex with someone you have absolute authority over is absolutely rape) would definitely not go over well today. Paint It Black is whatever in comparison.

rock and roll was controversal
just like
standing up at a concert
screaming when the band comes out
dancing

all anti-christian back then
painting everything black
is nihilism
not caring
anti-christian to christianity which is about decadence and indulgences
