And here I thought Blacks couldn’t succeed in America. At least that’s what the media and Democrats preach.

You wouldn’t know that by watching commercials.

He always seemed to radiate an aura of understated power.
His resting facial expression was usually neutral, somewhat blank, meaning his motives could be ominous or perhaps even to your benefit.

My favorite of his lines from the movie:


Tee-Hee, on the first wrong answer from Miss Solitaire, you will snip the little finger of Mr. Bond's right hand. Starting with the second wrong answer, you will proceed to the more... vital... areas.


LOL

No they tell me Whites have been wiped off the planet by a virus or something because they no longer appear in commercials.

Didn’t Bond shoot him with a helium bullet that made him inflate and pop in the end?

I liked him in “Badge of the Assassin” opposite the also great James Woods.

Not unless they need a White guy to play a villain or dummy.

LOL, if I remember right, Bond shoved it in his mouth and yeah, it inflated him until he popped.

I liked him as FBI agent Alonzo Mosely in Midnight Run back before I swore off De Niro movies.

Lol... that’s right. He shoved it in his mouth and pulled him underwater activating the helium bullet. I had forgotten that.
