Outrage After Rush Limbaugh Says This About Race

Liberals everywhere were outraged this week after Rush Limbaugh said a black man playing James Bond would be “ridiculous.” The comments were made on Tuesday in regard to leaked Sony emails that revealed that CEO Amy Paschal wanted the black actor Idris Elba to play James Bond. Rush, however, wasn’t having any of it. “James Bond is a total concept put together by Ian Fleming. He was white and Scottish. Period. That is who James Bond is, was,” the conservative radio show host said. “But now [they are] suggesting that the next James Bond should be Idris Elba, a black Briton, rather than a white from Scotland.” “That’s not who James Bond is and I know it’s racist to probably point this out,” he added. Liberals everywhere are outraged by these “racist” remarks, but what do you think about it? Sound off in the comments below!

Now, are you going to support a movie about white slaves on a black owned plantation? A white Jim in Huckleberry Finn? A black Huckleberry Finn?

There were black freedmen... how about an all black production of 1776 focusing on the unnamed attendees of the convention.

Maybe Pee Wee Herman?

But the part should go to a female.

“Tonight, the part of Rosa Parks will be played by Reese Witherspoon...”

“Tonight, the part of Nick Fury will be played by Kurt Russell...”

“Tonight’s biopic of Malcolm X will feature Bruce Willis in the title role...”

Let’s play that game, Leftists...

I was half listening to Rush when he was talking about this. He said that the leaked emails were saying Sony said they couldn’t have a black James Bond because Europeans wouldn’t watch it if Bond were black. I did not hear Rush say the above remarks but I would guess they were in context to what the Sony emails were saying, and probably were being said used to point out how hypocritically Sony is.

Well as a superspy he could easily play an ethnic black Russian, ethnic black German, ethnic black Romanian, etc. The guy was such a master of espionage...

It matters not what conservatives do, or say they will always be branded racists, but it is the racist RATS who voted against all the civil rights Bills.

James Bond is an iconic figure, much beloved by the British. Having a black man play the fictional part is an insult to them.

I can see where some people might want to tear down the traditions.

>>However, there were no white slaves.

There were Irish and English slaves in America.

There is no artistic or cinematic reason James Bond couldn’t be black. To suggest otherwise opens the door to being accused of racism, and rightfully so.

OK, so you would be fine with casting Brad Pitt as Charlie Chan.

The previews look funny and I might take my 6 year old daughter. The reviews are not that stellar, but seeing Cameron Diaz as Ms. Hanigan might be a hoot.

Eddie Murphy would be “otay” as the new James Bond.
