Rush Limbaugh: James Bond can't be black like Idris Elba!

As a Bond fan (true fan—novels and films) and a Scot/Brit, I have no problem with Idris playing the role. He’s a terrific actor and physically right. I’d rather have a black British actor as Bond than an American or wrong Commonwealth choice (ie too aussie an actor).

I have to agree to disagree with you on this issue. Filmmakers have changed many things from the novel...But, changing the race of James Bond is too much for me...

I get what you say (I am a true Bond fan as well), but they broke the mould with Craig, imo that would allow a black Bond if the actor is right. And he is the one UK black actor that would be superb. As I said, my choice would be Tom Hardy or Henry Cavill. Hardy would be early 40’s, Cavill late 30’s. Perfect for 6-10 yrs in the role.

Gerard Butler would be great, but as the new Bond wont be until 2018-19, he would be a touch too old imo at 49-50.

Normal people are capable of looking at an actor/actress and seeing a human being. So for normal people, a Black actor can play a White person, and vice versa.

Not for the left. When the left sees an actor, it sees primarily a Black or a White. They don’t see persons.

The left is racist.

They’re not casting a black James Bond because of “liberal bias,” they’re casting a black James Bond because they think there’s an undervalued market in the black ticket-buying public.
