Nobody who seriously complains about Cultural Appropriation is worried about appreciation or acknowledging influences. What they want is money. A paycheck, or free publicity, or some sort of "finder's fee". They want a piece of his success, and the best way to do that is to claim theft. Since they can't claim he straight up stole a tune, the next best thing is to claim he "stole" someone else's genre without paying literal dues for its use. The crux is always "I should be making money off of his success"
These conversations also stop the moment you start to extrapolate what this policy would look like on a societal scale. The moment appropriation goes from "minority is taken advantage of" to "all people can't appropriate things their people didn't invent" the whole discussion dies, because everyone realizes how crazy it is. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Man, I can't stand SJWs who whine about "cultural appropriation." 99% of the time, it's a completely imagined offense.
On the topic of Bruno Mars copying other sounds: he kind of does. I legit think "Locked Out of Heaven" is going to be a The Police song every time I hear it before the vocals kick in. I don't really think that's a problem though. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The people who complain about this petty crap almost never invented or created any of the stuff they claim was appropriated -- ergo, they would have no legal standing in a copyright suit. They claim credit purely based on "race" (and are often wrong about the race of the originator too, especially when it comes to music). A good chunk of these bigots also believe that "white people" are incapable of culture and must steal it from other "superior" races. ... Copied to Clipboard!

This is stupid. Bruno Mars is awesome. I don't think he ever claimed to be anything other than whatever his heritage is.
Bobby Caldwell sang What You Won't Do for Love with so much soul that many people didn't know he was white AT ALL. I'm fine with that, and I'm fine with whatever Bruno Mars has put out in recent years. He has legit bangers that I've listened to repeatedly.

Makes sense that SJWs would get angry about their shitty pop music. Maybe they can expand their tastes beyond the publisher's pick of the day already rather than projecting.
Also this argument is old. In recent history the most notable big name was Elvis clearly taking from the black Soul culture and integrating it into country to make Rock. It's rather funny how many recent great artists and musical breakthroughs are not white American at all. So even if Bruno Mars does it, who cares?

The general frustration comes from people to preferring to consume black culture through people who aren't black. Actually I'd say it's more to do with the thought that with mainstream America there is (often times) a certain hesitancy or resistance to something when there is a black person attached to it, yet if a non-black person comes in and does the same thing, then all of a sudden it's no issue. Probably an immediate and fairly recent example is people not even giving GTA San Andreas a chance purely because the main character is black, by their own admission. We just had a topic about this a few weeks ago where topics/posts from normal message boards were provideda at the time of the games release where there was no shortage of people that stated this, and people in that very gamefaqs topic said they thought it was a justifiable reason. Or another example, a pornstar can do pretty much anything under the sun in regards to her career but as soon as she bangs a black guy, thats the where the line is drawn. That's when she all of a sudden can't command as much money for scenes and she loses viewership, etc. It's kinda weird to pretend like the only people that care about race are minorities. --- ...

Most people complaining about cultural appropriation is not even about showing respect to a culture, but rather it's about money. They want to be compensated for it, funny that they don't ask for it when the music is not successful, but only the ones that get mainstream appeal.
