Love that song!

What's exactly racist about it? Lyrics seem fine.

Thats it .

I looked it out on Twitter and there are literally just a couple of tweets about Toto being problematic. Thread title is a little bit misleading.

Toto’s Steve Lukather is one of the very greatest guitarists of all time.

Makes chumps like Page and Hendrix sound like rank beginners. Of course, Jimi couldn’t even tune a guitar, so ...

This is fantastic! BTW, is the piece of shit calling for rappers who refer to women as bitches and hoes to be canceled?

TOTO I'll supply the love live 1980

btw- the people trying trying to do this are "black guys", right?

johnnynoname · « **Reply #15 on:** June 23, 2020, 02:29:39 PM »

seriously, black dudes are gonna get a really bad wrap for all this shit that white women are doing

and trust me-----LITERALLY ALL THIS CANCEL STUFF IS "WHITE WOMAN SHIT"

tl/dr----white women are the literal worst

Dokey111 · « **Reply #16 on:** June 23, 2020, 02:52:38 PM »

so... black people actually created the continent Africa? So they have claim to it? Or is that just what these white freaks are saying?

Mayday · « **Reply #17 on:** June 23, 2020, 03:35:59 PM »

I think they are wanting to remove all white comments about black things. It seems that is where you are headed but does this mean Eminem should be wiped for having a demeanour of.black rappers?

You guys are so fucked up that a rope garage handle used to close.the door at Nascar has been called.racist and triggered and FBI investigation as it was assumed it was there as a sign of lynching.

This is why there’s no point in arguing these things. These women are so unreasonable and basically bat shit crazy that no matter what type of evidence you produce it’ll fall on deaf ears. You have to tell him the way it’s going to be if they don’t like it too fucking bad.

I just want a Happy Gilmour like ending where everyone just starts chasing white women like they're Shooter McGavin because (and I'll say this till i'm blue in the face) white women are the culprit of LITERALLY all of this

Here's an example of the type of music that the American Negro has be putting out for the last 30 plus years.

"Bitches ain't shit". A modern cover of that classic song by Dr Dre called "Bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks".

Lol, not exactly what I would call empowering to women. Feminists largely silent. Almost nobody calling it "problematic".
