Yall know how I love #Swayinthemorning. Right now the topic is: Black people are upset and boycotting Target for using white girls in their ads for Annie apparel even though the new Annie is portrayed by a Black girl. *MY OPINION MIGHT RUB SOME THE WRONG WAY* How about this: Why do we need a Black Annie anyway? I remember once hearing Diahann Carol and Harry Belafonte say that they didnt care for The Wiz and I really couldnt understand why they felt that way. Now I think I do (even though Ill always love The Wiz). I guess I resent the fact that we as creative people seem to out of ideas. Annie is a classic movie that is centered around a white orphan. Period. Recreating the movie with a Black cast just does not strike me as necessary. Instead of recreating, just make a new movie. My next point... Black people should not be worried about spending money with Target in the first place!!!! We should focus on spending money with each other. We have very real buying power as a collective! Instead of worrying about who Target is using to advertise their products we should focus on having our own!!!!
