Target Accused Of Whitewashing ‘Annie’ Adifwt_target-accused

Target Accused Of Whitewashing ‘Annie’ Ad.Is Azealia Banks on to something with her ideology of the “Cultural Smudging” in the entertainment industry? A petition has been issued people are outraged. They feel Target is disrespecting The “Annie” star Quvenzhané Wallis. “A Change.org petition, created by L’Sean Rinique Shelton, a motivational speaker based in Bear, Delaware, asks Target to remove the “disrespectful” in-store displays and apologize to Quvenzhané who stars alongside Jamie Foxx in the film.” Why don’t they showcase the star of the movie; who is the youngest person to be nominated for an Academy Award? The petition that has received 5000 signatures thus far.The group has proposed the chain make a bunch of different ads that reflect different ethnic groups. In all fairness this is the first black Annie. What Do you think Cultural Smudging or Nah? Check the gallery for the Target ad. Details below

In the current stench of racism and division amongst Americans, why would Target single handedly disrespect Quvenzhané Wallis and add more pain to injury as it relates to race relations?
Your recent Annie ads and in-store displays depicts a misleading depiction of the movie as it shows a [Caucasian] young lady opposed to the star of the film—Quvenzhané Wallis. Though the model is quite professional, she does not speak to the relevance of the movie or main character. When the original Annie came out, everything was about Aileen Quinn or a character/person that emulated her…why not now Target? If you can show it online, show it in ALL of your stores with multiple signage with different girls not one!

      I can see in your ignorant profanity answer you already are approaching the issue wrong and it immediately demonstrate your biased opinion why are Latino or as you stated your Mexican like as if Mexican is a race instead of a country I have seen in recent a lot of Latino and as you just stated Mexicans seem too always have something to say or are always on the defense when we take up issue’s with race and total discrimination in this country and how it affects black everyday in this country and our total economic contributions too this country first you as Mexican or Latino in a whole would never being enjoying all the social and economic benefits if it weren’t for blacks you wouldn’t have civil rights which means that it wouldn’t be as attractive to people who are not white too immigrate too this country if it wasn’t for us blacks were killed beat spit on for the rights you so freely enjoy because Mexican or Latino are not white and won’t ever be white I think it would be good thing for you too read world history and that includes the Mexican history about the slaughter and genocide from the Spaniards too the original inhabitants of Mexico and the western half of the United states and America would never be this power great economic power that everyone in Latino country’s wants to come too if it wasn’t for that 300 year head start that black people gave too America and again I suggest that you read it is very important part of being intelligent and they will tell you with out black Americans 300 yes of free labor there wouldn’t of been a America that looks like the one you and other people who came to this country on there own free will would have never been and the movie annie in theater now in 2014 is portrayed by a extremely talented black little girl and to be fair and progressive and respect full too one of your biggest consumers the right thing too do is have the person who is playing the part in 2014 be fairly portrayed in the advertisement for target that is a national chain period and I’m also open to a multi ethnicity advertisement plan that I could see a black white Latino Asian and Indian because that’s a true portrayal of the world not just white only because that way of thinking is starting too be so outdated and stupid when you grow up you stop be living in fantasy so stop be living that only great things or traditions coming from whites or Europeans because it doesn’t and if you read again your history blacks ruled Spain for 700 years called moors and when we were in Spain we made Spain the richest and technically advance country in Europe and if you want say well why aren’t in power now because any race we came across never wanted t of fair business with us they were envious for what gave us as far as precious mineral and physical stature we never attacked people everybody who you look up to did and then they want think there better than us because they killed people for what they had

    confirmation of ignorance to the plight of black people in the comment above!

  3. Luvbunn on December 31, 2014 at 7:08 am

    Its not what the, race is, Annie had curly hair bottom line. That photo don’t come close

  4. Devi Brookins on December 31, 2014 at 8:04 am

    Honestly they were putting up an ad about the movie and date, therefore that person wasn’t there. When a remake of ANY movie is done they use ‘that’ person at that time. Oceans 11 was remake of a 60s movie and the actors Clooney Roberts and others were depicted in the updated versions. Yes, since the beginning of time it has been about RACE. That young lady deserves her 15 minutes like everyone else. If any person can’t or rather won’t see that shows how far we have to go. Love can conquer hate and the reason why that is yet to be reached is due to ignorance.

    Why are people waisting time an energy on this subject. U already know what it is no need for comments.
