Is it okay to listen to yt's music?

I am very black, and very proud of that fact. But my friends taunt me because I listen to what they say is yt music, especially the Blue Oyster Cult and Thin Lizzy. I hate hip-hop--those losers don't even play any instruments. And Philip Lynott--he was half black, so what's the problem? I like hard rock, and there just aint no black hard rock bands that I've heard of. Any help?
