What am I missing here? The use of the word is not from Jagger's perspective. It's from the perspective of segments of American society that includes the legal system...they are niggers and they are getting killed. It's true today. Look at Ferguson. The irony of the Obama presidency is that it has not been a step forward for racial equality, but a step backward. The country has regressed on this and other issues.

Too bad they didn't use the Demo version, where Bill and Taylor are also audible. The official album version sounds a bit ... thin, though the song is beautiful.
I bet the live version from the 1972 tour would sound great in better audio quality.
btw: nothing wrong with the ten little niggers rhyme. Those who are verbally so political correct better protest against the way black people are treated by the largely white police force and against racist BEHAVIOUR.
That's not the demo version, that's the LP version before it had vocals.

Absolutely not! Compare it to the LP version here and notice the differences:

Same version, but a different mix. Taylor's guitar was muted on the first part of the song, and Bill's bass is lower in the mix on the final studio version.
But if you listen to what Taylor plays in the ending, you'll find that it is exactly the same as on the demo version.

The title says demo version but it's not a demo, it's a working full mix of the LP version that's not finished. The percussion and acoustic guitar are exactly the same as the LP version. Hence it's not a "demo" but a full mix.

OK. Not sure how you come to that conclusion that it's not the master recording but... it is. It just doesn't sound like the finished version. It's clearly the same version. Listen to the main acoustic guitar.

And listen to Taylor's acoustic toward the ending. Same take.

Could be the same take, but clearly and certainly different mixing. Anyway, I prefer the non official mixing.

Forgive me if this has been already mentioned. This song was written for apolitical prisoner Angela Davis. She was a organizer for the Black Panthers. A radical black political group that was active in the early 70's. She was sort of iconic with the big Afro and raised fist. Greatly admired by Mick and Keith. I remember Keith saying they sent her flowers when she was released.
