So by that logic, whites appropriated rock from blacks to create metal... GDI white people...

I stand by what I said earlier. Cultural appropriation is the dumbest shit I've ever heard in my life. Does everyone have to keep a flow chart handy to remember which culture invented something before they decide whether they can use it or not? Lmao, one of the worst things to come from the left, easily, along with the other raving SJW nonsense, and I'm pretty liberal myself.

And rock came from something else, which came from something else, which came from something else which.....blah blah blah blahhhh.

Every genre of music has come from something else.

Cultural appropriating music is beyond fucking dumb.

LOL the entire United States of America is "cultural appropriation."

Cultural appropriation has nothing to do with being left. Its a black issue regardless of what parties are involved. So stop saying that shit. Lol you look like a clown.

All we ask is that if you use traditions that belong to Africans , then pay your respects. Thats all we fucking ask for. Yall are acting like we want yall to do something extra.

Bruno does. I dont really agree with her on that and Michael Jackson. But I do agree white people do prefer black music done by white people over black people. It goes for the movies too.

And yet artists sue each other for sampling without permission. So are you saying that musicians should be able to steal each other's music without being called out for it?

Eminem rapping and Biz Markie infringing on copyright laws for sampling Alone Again (Naturally) without Gilbert O'Sullivan's permission and being sued is not the same thing.

CE still cant have a decent conversation about cultural appropriation

Granted a lot of sjw use it incorrectly too.

CA isnt inherently a bad thing its just an inevitable thing that happens when different cultures interact.

In cases specifically with music what tends to happen is white or white passing people tend to be more popular in the main culture for doing a sub cultures music then anyone in the actual subculture.

Typically they dont even have a real passion or knowledge for the sub cultures music or at least its lessor compared to others in that genre of music.

So you have an outside using a sub cultures music for their own gain without caring anything about the music, while people who do care have to sit in their shadow.

In video game terms

Its like the hot cam twitch girl becoming the worlds most famous twitch streamer even though she hates video games.

You can see why that would piss off everyone who streams or watches streams cause of their love of games.

In Brunos case hes not guilty of that, hes likely part black and his music is mainly written by one of the biggest urban writers in the world right now, not to mention hes regularly spoken about his love towards the music

I haven't seen many examples of this, and many simply don't care. All that matters is race. Hence the attacks on this guy.

Because a wrist picture proves anything. A face would do it. When I get done chopping weeds out of cotton fields, I'm darker than he is. I haven't looked into it since I don't care enough, but I'm pretty sure I'm white.

Your complaint doesn't come from your target, though. His fans decide whether or not he's more successful than the other artists that you would rather see in the limelight. He just does what he enjoys. If you don't enjoy what you're doing, it shows through even if you don't want it to.

Go off on the fans. Oh wait...one person is much easier to target.

Regardless of whether anyone agrees with the cultural appropriation aspect, this:

"What Bruno Mars does, is he takes pre-existing work and he just completely, word-for-word recreates it, extrapolates it," she added. "He does not create it, he does not improve upon it, he does not make it better. He's a karaoke singer, he's a wedding singer, he's the person you hire to do Michael Jackson and Prince covers. Yet Bruno Mars has an Album of the Year Grammy and Prince never won an Album of the Year Grammy."

is a fairly accurate statement

It's not. Bruno "takes pre-existing work and he just completely, word-for-word recreates it, extrapolates it"? Bruno "does not create it, he does not improve upon it, he does not make it better"? You could say the same about any singer. Bruno winning an AOTY Grammy when Prince didn't is irrelevant; plenty of black artists have won AOTY.
