Thats bull shyt! This world will never change.

 

[CountryBoyL]

Reminds me when they made the Green Lantern movie wit that cac being green lantern.
Green lantern was def black in the comic books brehs

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

I'm not mad... Bond can't be black and Egyptians shouldn't be cast as cacs.

Cacs wanna go hard bout fictional characters but distort history

The fear of the black man is real. Take notice!

 

[YouMadd?]

On one hand the novels definitely described his appearance. On the other hand, 007 is just a symbol imo.

White people don't like this because James Bond is one of the most masculine characters in modern cac entertainment history, and to see it represented by a black person would be unacceptable to them.

Who really cares though?

We shouldnt even be in the entertainment business period.

I've said this time and time again

Black people need to get OUT of the entertainment business. It does nothing to serve us and it's a huge distraction

So which is it you clown?

Roger Moore was always the wild mango Bond to me.

Sean Connery.

 

[Wildin]

once again bond an agent name and rank....anyone in the world could be bond. even a woman minus the fact she is a field agent....

so there could be a black bond.

people think james bond has been one person all these years and shyt, all these crazy adventures......

 

[EndDomination]

I couldn't care less about Bond, I haven't seen any of the Bond movies all the way through before, and I think Elba would be amazing in the role

But isn't the character from the book white? I don't think it's "racist" to suggest the character should look similar to how it was written. Just like casting a white person in a role that was written as a black person might be cool in that the white person could be a great actor, but it just would seem awkward and forced

Character from the book is never given a physical description that details race.
Dark hair, dark eyes, Englishman.

 

[Originalman]

fukk Roger Moore. I guess that will kill all that talk that white euros aren't racist.

 

[EndDomination]

His comment is racist.

However I have no problems with us keeping fictional characters the way their authors intended.

We can't complain about black fictional characters being whitewashed in film but expect black people to play Asian or white characters.

Are we against whitewashing or not? If so then naturally logic should tell us we shouldn't complain about the opposite then.

Asian characters should be played by Asian actors black by black and so on...

I don't want a white man playing my favourite black fictional characters so I'd be a hypocrite to complain about the opposite.

Ian Fleming never said the race of the character.
Even the covers for the books he published never showed a White character.
Black characters are usually written as being Black.

 

[Egomaniacal1]

Is Luther on Netflix? Yall kinda got me wanting to watch it now.

 

[EndDomination]

no it isn't. nick fury is a white character, and no one gave a rats ass that a samuel jackson played the character.

this is just flat out CACs being CACs. they're scared the image of a BBC destroying some white actresses p*ssy under the name of Bond is going to be made into a reality on screen.

Samuel L. Jackson plays Nick Fury Jr. who is based off of him, as the Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury Sr. is the White one, that was never quite as popular.
