Is Thom Yorke From Radiohead A Racist?

Thom Yorke is famous for being rude, but racist? I don't know, first let's take a look at some lyrics.

1: Pearly

This song goes as so.

Vanilla (feel it crawl to me) milkshakes (crawl back again)

From hard rock (whatever you say) cafes (make it go away)
That's where (I feel it crawl to me) she got her (crawl back again)
Sweet tooth (it won't go away) for white boys (whatever you say)

Notice how it says that she got her sweet tooth for white boys. Is that saying that black girls need to develop an attraction to caucasian males? So is he saying that it's not normal for whites and blacks to be together? Next.

2: Black Star

A little from the song.

I Blame it on the black star
I Blame it on the falling sky
I Blame it on the satellite that beams me home
Tonight, this is killing me
Tonight, this is killing me

So is he saying that he blames it on black people because they are going to kill him? Is this a stereotypical fear of african american domestic violence? He seems to be saying only black people kill. And could star be him referencing them being far away because he avoids them by living in Oxford? Next.

3: Black Swan

This song is the killer. The song is named after a swan being black. So is he saying that a black swan is not normal? A swan is known for it's beauty and elegance, yet he refers to the black swan in the words, "This is ****ed up, ****ed up." Could this be his way of saying black people are ****ed up? Is he saying that it's not normal for black people to be beautiful?

Not only this, but when was the last time you saw a black person at a radiohead concert? I think he avoids the african american race. As a huge radiohead fan, this is highly offensive even as a 21 year old Caucasian male. And who knows how much anti black material will be contained in the new album The King Of Limbs.

Thank you for reading.

That is all.

Hey dunl can your next thread be an essay explaining to me why I should care about this Mr Yorke being some sort of racist? I mean, he makes music. Do I like his music? No. Do I listen to the music? No. If I liked his music, would I care about his policy on people of the coloured variety? No.headRooom

You should listen more. It's an acquired taste.

Why should we care...?

Would whoever hates my gifs please show themselves? :x

See this is what annoys me about big Radiohead fans. If someone doesn't like them, it MUST be because they just haven't listened to them enough. :roll:

[QUOTE="Solid_Tango"]I didnt know he was a rude artist? care to give some example of what he did to be rude? I ve only read that he refused to meet Hanna montana and that she was furious about itheadRooom

But Racist??? Thats really silly. Im not sure if this threads a joke , and if so its incredible pointless since it does not strike up any point, arguement, or conversation about him.

It is a joke, and he's just open about what he thinks. The thing with hannah montana, people don't understand he's in his 40s. He is a parent, not a young star like her.

I propose we ban the color black so that nobody can be racist ever again. Problem solved.kuraimen

Yeah! Then the white gamespot theme will be supreme!

lol. He doesn't seem like the racist type to me. Love his dancing, btw.

And nice sig you've got there, here it is in extra big

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="mexicangordo"] Huh?? That is an exaggeration indeed, and no one can really pin point how he is unless you hang out with him every weekend. Thom Yorke is a very mysterious man. He can be rather rude, and yes even say arrogant but thats as far as I can say about it.

Racism is still alive through the celbration of minorities.

Black Swan is an awesome song, and I'm pretty sure it's not about black people
