This is the most stupidest thing I have ever heard of. I mean come on who ever heard of a black Annie. Ever since the very first comic strip came out Annie has been known for her red hair….RED HAIR people!! Besides that fact what exactly is Will Smith teaching his kids? That you don’t have to work for anything in this world because daddy will just hand it over to you on a silver platter. Why not make them try out for the part with other hard working actors & actresses? Not cool Will, not cool at all.
