Mar 8 - Oscar-nominated actress cast as ‘Annie’ is black — and Twitter racists go nuts

[Lannister]

I can see now a white actor gets casted as The Black panther. Hollywood is going to stir the pot

Can't see that happening. Unlike Annie, Black Panther and Shaft's race/culture factor into their characters, and how they live their lives.

And a lot of these people don't care about Annie forreal, even if the character remained white, they still wouldn't go see it. People just love to complain on the internet. They'll take any opportunity they can to blow hot air.

Black people might simply just be more interesting the way they keep casting black people in white roles (and that's according to source material).

I don't think I've ever seen this happen to a black character.

I'm waiting for a remake of Roots with a majority white cast.

Move or reality show?

White people play Jesus (a real historical person) in movies? No outrage.

Black people play Jonny Storm or Annie (fictional people)? They mad.

I'm surprised by the reaction of Twitter racists. I expected them to applaud this casting as another step in improving race relations in America but this racist outburstfrom them is way out of character.

I liked the movie.
