Such miserable people. Perpetually offended. Always angry about something.

By Hollywood standards, “Anniequa” is a bomb. This is just some PR attempt to recoup more money by generating controversy.

I guess Target was appealing to non-black customers; shame on them for marketing outside the black race.
They are probably smart enough to know that this film will be viewed as “black entertainment”, and selling to 13% of the population isn’t a good business model.

I used to work for a government agency that dealt with child welfare cases. When a software developer sold a new case management package to the agency it included various buttons with symbols, such as a button with scales to bring up the legal document scanning module, a button with a simple child face to bring up the child bio info page, etc. Well the child cartoon was of a white boy with blond hair, which didn’t sit well with at least one of the hard-left white lesbians in the office, so the developer was asked back to replace the offending symbol with a dark skin dark hair graphic. Not sure what the taxpayers paid for that one.

Annie’s been around and wildly popular for over 35 years, played entirely by white girls.
Since a low-popularity movie has come out with a black Annie, all future references must have her be black?
Does not compute.
To: Sherman Logan
This racism (usually by “blacks”) is very, very tiresome.

If we can have Idris Elba as James Bond [and he is cute] ... then why no white Annie?
