Jamie Foxx in Negotiations for "Annie" Movie — Page 8

Again, no one defended those comments you're harping about. And yes, they are racist.

But- as I said in my post (in the Special Edition Director's Cut of this thread)- you are exactly typifying the articles blactor posted.

You are dismissing claims of racism because YOU don't think something is racist. Instead of trying to understand WHY people might think making the first black main character of a Disney animated film a maid is problematic, you immediately have dismissed the concerns as flat-out wrong. You therefore dismiss the people with the concerns, too. THEY are the ones that need to change. Not you. Not the culture. Them.

Exactly, Kad.

What are you even talking about? I was clearly- VERY clearly, in fact, since I cite the topic YOU brought up- referring to your earlier post in which you said:

"I remember when the Princess and the frog came out, and hell broke loose because Tiana was going to be a "maid". So after a lot of fuss, the Disney company decided to change the script and make her a hard working woman/princess. I feel the complaints are completely ungrounded, and that the problem is inside some people's head's and that's what needs to be fixed. Not the film.
The biggest part of these micro-aggressions are created by the receiver itself, and that's where the problem lies."

No one is saying anything even remotely like that black people should only date within their race. Only you, in your flailing attempt to gain ground in an argument in which you increasingly are losing it.

None of us have said we'll have any of it, either.

Jordan, Ray, and Larrystyles seem to disagree though, according to their reactions.

Edit: Oh, and Clyde: "Dave has no valid points"

Well, I'm glad those attacks on Disney are valid in your eyes. Have a nice life.

You are one of the most patently ridiculous and delusional people on this board. And that's saying a lot.

I second Kad

Thanks for the well wishes, Dave. Love and light.

I agree with Dave19! If it weren't for black folks there wouldn't be racism in the first place. They are the perpetrators. Slavery was almost a hundred years ago and they still need their reparations with the Negro College Fund and with Black Annie. GET OVER IT! GOD!

I do wonder if a black Annie (which I would love) could actually be a maid in the film? Or would people start hyperventilating again because of the history?

Well, I'm done, and I want to leave you with this entertaining youtube tirade, of a confused man who sees the fact that the prince is not black as an attack on black males. Long live the love!

Unlike Dave, at least Jim Colyer, WS has the balls to come out and actually admit he's a racist.

Jordan, I think Tiana has the right to marry whoever she wants! No matter what the black community or you say about it!
