A Stench of Racism

"In the current stench of racism and division amongst Americans, why would Target single-handedly disrespect Quvenzhane Wallis and add more pain to injury as it relates to race relations?" she began. [More]
You're right. There is a stench around here. Guess where it's coming from, racist Opposite Day "progressive"... And as an aside, if your daughter really did ask that question, which I doubt, you've failed as a parent, and you might want to spend more time working on your own incompetence and less on blaming whitey.

I'd say if this is all someone has to belly-ache over, they've got things pretty damn good over 99% of humanity since the line began. It's not like Annie hasn't been thought of in a more prevalent way for well over a century.

Gee, the preference for what's worked successfully and what hasn't couldn't have anything to do with even the "progressive" New York Times review concluding the reboot "cast would have been better served by a middle school production overseen by a creatively frustrated, inappropriately ambitious drama teacher than by this hacky, borderline-incompetent production," could it? Or a less-than-mediocre score on the Tomatometer (which noted "Annie hints at a progressive take on a well-worn story...")? Or that it may not even make back its production budget?

Or maybe it has something to do with who the foreseen customers for the clothing line are...?

Maybe the problem is the "progressives" at Google are racist, too.

This is the kind of utter crap that truly feeds the flames of racism.  Those responsible for adding to the hate at every opportunity are every bit as culpable for violent consequences as those egging on a lynch mob.

Still, not all are without empathy for the pain.

I guess Guy Williams would be inappropriate to portray Captain Sindbad.
