Exhibit B: when Ta-Nehisi Coates (yes, I typed it straight through without checking) refers to Yeah Yeah Yeahs as “White Music For Black People.” Money quote:

My opinions are shaped by basically missing any music created by white people during the mid to late 80s. Kids like me would have been dismissed as “acting white” for listening to a band like the Yeah Yeahs Yeahs. OK, that’s dishonest–I would have been the one doing the dismissing. What can I say? I was young and stupid, and thought the Bomb Squad and Marle Marl created the world.

We still ain’t skeered. We’ll tell you when we are.
