Black man here. Love the Stones. White folks are allowed to have influences and act on them. So are Black folk.

As cool as many Black musicians are, Keith & Mick are icons for good reason. They embraced the R&B they grew up with and took it to a new place.

Even "Miss You" is something you might call Disco Appropriation, but in the hands of the Stones is something entirely theirs.
