Maybe the next XXX should be played by a white guy?

“There is no artistic or cinematic reason James Bond couldnt be black.”
And the next “Shaft” should be white.

How about a white Shaft (as mentioned in a previous post) or Othello?

That's a good point, but there's a bigger question here that a lot of the leftists complaining about this sort of thing probably don't want to be answered:
Why do movie producer consider playing black actors in roles that had previously been played by white actors, but not vice versa?
The answer is that a lot of movies are aimed at minority viewing audiences. And the reasons a lot of these leftists don't want this question answered is that these movies have become increasingly violent, silly and dumbed down as they are marketed to these audiences.

the Pee Cee crowd won't be satisfied until....some half wit rapper portrays Dwight Eisenhower... Hollywood is waiting for Leonardo DiCaprio to get a few more wrinkles then they'll offer the role to him. Mr Bean & Pee Wee Herman have declined.
We all know the Left's preoccupation with "gravitas", right?

How about a black Lincoln versus a black Jefferson Davis fighting over freeing the white slaves of rich southern plantation owners, all of whom are portrayed by African-American actors? Or a reverse ‘uncle tom’s cabin.’
Will the NAACP back that?

Sorry, but Rush is wrong on this one. James Bond is a fictional character.
Did you not read the part about Ian Flemings character being a Scot? The fictional character Shaft being a black man if played by Neil Patrick Harris is just as ludicrous. Why you cannot see that logic escapes me.

How bout some transgendered cracker, name Janey to play James Bond?

Glad I read to the end of the thread, as my comments would have exactly mirrored yours.

So, then the reverse is true: Daniel Craig should be able to play MLK.

Maybe they can make the next James Bond a gay, black man who is really a soviet spy.

OK then, what say you to a black Huckleberry Finn?
Or a white Fat Albert?
To: NKP_Vet
Another tempest in a teapot.
The theater world has long struggled with ideas about casting choices and whether black people can play white characters. Rush is simply catching up. He has every right to want his James Bond to be a Scot. I’m annoyed there is a tv show on now that has Dr. Watson as a GIRL.

And the liberals went absolutely ballistic when they heard that some Seattle players were saying that their quarterback wasn’t black enough. Oh wait.

How about nobody playing Bond?
I grew up with the first Bond movies and loved them. And while I don’t like his politics, I will admit that Craig did manage to bring a small amount of life back into it.
But really, this story has simply been told enough times. Can’t anybody think of anything new?
To: rickomatic
Ever been to Scotland? Guess what. Some black people live there. And they have Scottish accents. And if their parents lived there, and their parents parents lived their, are they not Scottish? Do you have to be white to be Scottish?
Rush is right 99.7% of the time. On this he is wrong. And sounds stupid.
To: NKP_Vet
I'm just curious how a black James Bond is supposed to blend in behind enemy lines in the middle of Caucasia.
Hey what the heck, suspension of disbelief and all that.
Why don't they make him female and lesbian while they're at it.
That way she can still get the girl.
Is 007 supposed to be the same person in the myth, or is it that if one 007 dies or retires, another agent is assigned his identity as the most well known secret agent in the world?
