snoop1130 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Why Radiohead are the Blackest white band of our times By Daphne A Brooks Clockwise from top left: Nina Simone, Thom Yorke, Roman GianArthur, Alice Coltrane, Robert Glasper, Arlo Parks and Lianne La Havas. Composite: Guardian Design; Hayley Madden/Redferns; David Redfern; Frederick M Brown/Getty Images; Echoes/Redferns; Jim Dyson/Getty Images; Anthony Harvey/REX/Shutterstock; Suki Dhanda/The Observer Radiohead released Kid A 20 years ago today. It pointed a new direction for rock music – and mirrored radical Black art by imagining new spaces to live in amid a hostile world Ask anyone who is the Blackest white rock band to emerge over the past 30 years, and my hunch is that few would say Radiohead. The hypnotically wonky Oxfordshire quintet are lauded for intricate, challenging music that is now far from their grunge-era breakthrough.

Who says it always has a capital B? It could be something as simple as a typo by the guy who wrote the article. Wouldn’t be a first! But he gets bent up of shape because how dare the guy to capitalize the word blacks, but not the word whites. It’s like two toddlers getting soft ice cream and the other one‘s is a centimeter taller and now the other one has to make a massive fuss over it! The guy comes across like a racist and makes a fuss over nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy comes across like a racist and makes a fuss over nothing! Did you read the article? It’s not a typo. Nor is the fact that the only time “white” is mentioned it is done so in a lower case...like in this condescending quote about a song (that people have endlessly argued over the meaning for eons where the band actually just picked phrases out of a hat randomly for the lyrics) ”Kid A’s biggest pop chorus, on Idioteque – “Here I’m allowed everything all of the time” – is a sarcastic condemnation of (white) privilege that has brought us to the edge of a climate crisis, but it’s a sentiment that may not chime with Black people, who aren’t allowed very much any of the time.” But it’s really not surprising considering the author of this garbage article...

Just look at him in this picture with his original band basking in the glory of his white privilege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
