lmfao I hate how every time there's a white something that has appeal across racial lines they get labelled as honorary-black or something similar. not every non-racist white person has to be invited to the cook out. s*** like this only helps to bolster the ideas of race based on stereotypes.
no, Bill Clinton was not "America's first black president" just because he grew up poor and played the saxophone

if you're going to dissect the musical inspiration behind Radiohead like that, then you may as well say every single rock band is influenced by black artists considering the very genre itself was based off the blues lmao.
If we go off which rock band speaks to black people the most from our times, I would say Linkin Park, Paramore, and Blink 182 were much bigger than Radiohead was. But liberal hacks will never give those groups that credit. It says a lot too when of those 3, only Paramore eventually got credit once they went fully white indie in the 2010s.
