Bruno Mars hammered for Cultural appropriation

[Dr. Acula]

Cultural appropriation is at the end of my list of things black folks should be concerned about. Ive yet to be convinced that it's not simply a vehicle for people to act like activist about a supposed issue yet accomplish absolutely nothing that progresses the black community forward in anyway with whatever supposed solution or resolution they find for the issue.

Bruno mars switches to country music tomorrow.

Ok? What has been accomplished and how has it benefited the black community?

Such an unimportant boutique issue.

 

[beenz]

But isnt bruno like Half Black tho?!?

Probably when it's convenient for him.

Funny how a lot of y'all are capping for Bruno mars when a lot of people won't cape for us. Let that man defend himself.

 

[J-Fire]

The criticism of Bruno is stupid. Dude ACKNOWLEDGED his influences. I'm feeling like to a certain extent, this comes from some bitterness and jealousy. Certain artists that feel they have not had the success they deserve see Bruno selling millions and winning Grammys and it fukks with them a little bit.

the record label didn't take the song from black folk and told bruno to perform it, lol.

Hell, bruno has written for black artist, lol.



They sounding like patent trolls. At the end how much does a Album of the year Grammy account for?.....it's about record sales and cultural influence. What would album of the year do for Michael Jackson's career when he gets props from the people and moved a lot of records, lol.

@Cacdestroyer @Doofy MRSUPERBOY223 finally dropped a video on this topic:

I fukk with Harvey on a lot of things but one thing about him that always annoys me is his willingness to class anyone with a bit of colour in them as black.

I don't know who breh is but I had to cut it off the moment he said Bruno has dark skin and features that we associate with Black people, despite neither parent being Black. Such generalizations are a red flag of deeper issues
So he does that kind of reckless recruitment often?

Yup, Tariq does the exact same thing and it's annoying as all hell....

HOLY shyt!!! MRSUPERBOY just did the same thing with Kim Kardashian in a video he just put out several hours ago:

Great culture is meant to be shared by all..
The problem for us is other cultures want to have access to our culture yet restrict theirs to us.

Traditional Black Thinking

 

[Dave24]

What race do most people think bruno mars is? Same race as dwayne johnson?

The Rock father is actually Black so he’s mixed.

Bruno is Asian and Puerto Rican. I don’t think he’s ever claimed to be Black. He just surrounds himself with black dancers and musicians so people assume he’s black

 

[Real]

boy...this was the dumbest discussion ever. lol

 

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

This cat been doing soul music since he was a literal child. Always gave props to the legends. Never tries to make like he started some shyt. He’s doing the literal opposite of appropriation. Muthafukkas need to stop using words they don’t know the meaning of.

So because he gives “props” to the legends, he can’t possibly be s culture vulture.

Ok.
