BeyIridescent Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 They don't even really play Bruno Mars on urban radio like that. He is yet another artist appropriating black culture to be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the backbone or maybe the root of a very evil, racist cause You should know better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several black male artists that are much more talented than Mr. Mars but will never see his success. R&B music is digested easier by whites when the singer is non-black. See also Adele, Justin Timberlake, Amy Winehouse...etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just not up for debate, he's known for his talent and ability to do so many things. As for your cultural appropriation opinion. Let it be . It doesn't matter, I don't care, the GP don't care. People dig R&B/Soul music whether it was made by black or white or asian artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP2K Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Bruno Mars is black. Most urban listeners and black people don't view him as otherwise and don't know he's mixed. ****, most Americans at that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your casual next-door GP doesn't even know what's Bruno's true ethnicity. Plus he looks like a mixed African-American, or a Mexican. I could give you ten more and it'll all make sense. He's in the gray area like Prince. Edited March 20, 2017 by MJLover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if he took a DNA test and found out he has some Black in him Anyway, on another racial note, isn't he the first Asian to top these charts? #AsianExcellence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
