Celeb News: Bruno Mars Rejected for his Race - Page 3

Feather

Well, "s/he" didn't specifically say they rejected Bruno's race, it's just that when they heard the song they already had an image of a "blonde hair, blue eyed" guy singing the song. Regardless it's still wrong and the fact that it can also happen in the music industry is just sad.

Oh Bruno. Glad you made it.

Those bitches.

I finally understood this.

The general public just consider him black. He has sub-Saharan African ancestry from his Puerto Rican side and people with significant black ancestry are always considered just that. If people like Rihanna are considered black, I don't see why he shouldn't be.

Is the general public you? Because I've never seen anyone call him black, just Hispanic.

I always felt like bruno has some native Indian blood in him, then I discovered he has an Indian chief tattoo on his left shoulder.

But ATRL taught me that POCs exaggerate this whole "racism" thing. You mean these blatant racist acts still happen in the 21st century?

Wasn't B.o.B. unknown too?

B.o.B at that time was an upcoming hip hop artist, he had a song called Haterz Everywhere that got famous online at 2007. He was already singed to a label & working on his debut album but yea nothin on you gave him his first successful single. He might not have been that famous but also bruno at that time was just signed as a songwriter. I think bruno kept nothin on you for more than 2 years trying to release it as his debut single but it never worked out & he had to sell it eventually.
