From the New ‘Annie’ Movie, Lessons on Money and Inequality (an exercise in white guilt)
New York Slimes ^ | DEC. 25, 2014 | RON LIEBER

There will come a point in the next 10 days, after the cabin fever has set in, when the small people you parent, grandparent or otherwise dote on demand to see “Annie.”

You will recall the unfavorable reviews of the newly updated movie musical, or will look them up. You will read of the bad singing and stilted dance numbers. And still you will go, because it’s a children’s holiday after all, and that’s what they want to see.

Harold Gray (who created the Annie comic strip) was against the New Deal and Socialism. His creation has been perverted.

It's like leftist atheist Peter Jackson making movies of books written by conservative religious catholic JRR Tolkien who wrote his stories as moral homilies.

I never saw the original. Not interested. Less interested in the remake. My youngest is 27. No grand children. Taking a complete pass.

Why would anyone take their children to see this when “Into the Woods” is available?

they just assume others didn’t work for their stuff.

Million dollar Marxist want to redistribute your things to the "communisty".

Chris Rock tells white people to own the actions of their ancestors ()

“Owning their actions. Not even their actions. The actions of your dad,” Mr. Rock said. “Yeah, it’s unfair that you can get judged by something you didn’t do, but it’s also unfair that you can inherit money that you didn’t work for.”

Apparently you can inherit scandal and sin but not wealth.

It is not just the novelty of the black Annie, but also the black “Daddy” and the wicked WHITE stepmother! Reverse racism luring in white money. Stand up to this militant crap. Speak out against all racism.

Are we to assume Mr. Rock will donate his millions to charity or do you think he’ll try to leave something for his wife and kids? Is it bad that some of us choose to sacrifice in order to help the next generation, especially now that many jobs are disappearing?

Oprah, or an ‘Oprah type’ would have been perfect. She wouldn’t even have to do much acting, just let the venom flow. I don’t know if she’s slim again or still portly.

Looks as if Little Orphan Annie is a victim of PC identity theft.

so chris isn’t going to pass down his wealth to his kids? because they after all, didn’t earn it.

guess he doesn’t give a sh1t about the concept of inheritance, which goes back to the beginning of time.
