James Bond was white, is white and should always be white ... at least according to Rush Limbaugh.

On his radio show Tuesday, Limbaugh was reacting to a story that came from the leaked Sony emails ... saying Idris Elba, star of "Luther" and "The Wire," should take over the iconic part from Daniel Craig.

But Limbaugh feels that Elba (who he describes as "African-English," since Elba is a Brit) is not right for the role because Bond was created as a white guy and should stay that way.

Limbaugh said, "Now Sony is suggesting that the next James Bond should be Idris Elba, a black Briton rather than a white from Scotland. But that's not who James Bond is, and I know it's racist to probably even point this out."

i'm surprised he even admitted it was racist...but

James Bond should be a codename and not the actual person himself kinda like Jason Bourne.

James Bond should be a codename and not the actual person himself kinda like Jason Bourne.

i've ALWAYS thought this... like how this nikka operate for 40-50-60 years and always be the same person... always giving out his government... nobody hearing that and immediately being like "oh we heard about you"

i assumed "james bond" was the name assigned to 007... but even then it's still dumb to never switch up your name, but give it to every seedy character in every movie

I agree, but not for the same reasons...

We really dont need to be playing their characters when we have more creativity and resources to create our own

 

[Kill Dat Noize]

well rush is also an extreme right wing conservative so he probably prays to white jesus, who was originally brown skinned.

this gets lost on people though.

LimBO heart's still beatin

true but then cats will say Blacks are biting Bond, and it would probably be difficult to get the type of budget that a James Bond flick gets.

Thats how most white people feel when it comes to another race playing a fictional character.

But let it be the other way around and have tom hanks play malcom x or something and it becomes," well they just selected the best actors for the part. Race shouldn't even matter".

BTW isn't james bond/007 just a code name and not the actual person? So technically I could be possible for a black person to hold that title right?
