Somehow the name “ANNIE” just does not fit a black kid. Maybe Swuannie or sumpin like dat, make it more real, but hey the hair fits.

Her real name is Quvenzhané Wallis. Don't ask me how to pronounce that.

I feel sorry for some of these kids...their parents are so desperate to make their children distinguishable from others they saddle their kids with these ghastly names for life...

Where do they get them from? The Nairobi phone book?

I'm asking anyway........ROFL

Now her real name would have fit perfectly for the audience they are trying to bring in.

If you can’t pronounce it, you’re RACIST.

Seriously.

When the kid was nominated for an Academy Award, very few announcers/talking heads could pronounce here name and the “community” started calling those people racists.
