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.

A black “Annie” doesn’t even make sense,
unless they changed the era in which it was set.

Lots more whites are going to be buying these outfits so Target innocently had the white models......

ACTUALLY Target had little to do with this. Its their advertizing agency that chose white models. There will be lots fewer black buyers than white buyers for these Annie outfits. The movie is a flop (I hear) so buying won’t be much anyhow

Annie, the movie, is from the comic strip Little Orphan Annie. She is white (and drawn with no eyes). The fact that they made a movie with a black Annie is inaccurate, which probably explains why the movie bombed.

Of course, having an actress with an unrecognizable and unpronounceable name doesn't help.

Once again, the 13% of the population that is the least educated, the least productive, the most criminal, the most dependent on the largess of others is dictating that a black girl should represent a white cartoon character created in 1924 and was portrayed on radio and stage and in movies as such.
Of course that same 13% are also demanding that a fictional Scottish secret agent be portrayed by a black actor.
