Outrage After Rush Limbaugh Says This About Race
http://mrconservative.com ^ | December 24, 2014 | Andrew Spalding

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!

lol. You forgot the sarc tag. You keep picking historical significant people instead of a stupid fiction character. Anybody can play Bond because he is insignificant to our country. MLK is a historic important REAL person.

Artistically, yes. Just don’t ask me to bankroll the film.

Some folks here are (ironically) using the old "No True Scotsman" fallacy.

Person A: No Scotsman is black.
Person B: But my Uncle Angus is black.
Person A: Then your Uncle Angus is not a true Scotsman.

For those unfamiliar with the fallacy:

No True Scotsman

"A group of slaves would obviously be black."

There were some American Indian slaves in Louisiana....

A black playing James Bond makes as much sense as a white man playing Martin Luther King. Rush surely bombed the target!

"However, there were no white slaves"

Actually not true, but that won't matter to you I think. Indentured servants were indeed just that, however not called that.

Plenty O’Toole: “Hi, I’m Plenty.”
Bond: “But of course you are.”
Plenty O’Loot: “Plenty O’Loot.”
Bond: “May I call you Katrina?”

The ONLY thing I like about liberals is that they make me laugh when they get “outraged”.

Do you ever post anything that is not racially-motivated? Seems a bit....suspect...to me.

Did Rush complain every other time Bond was played by a non-Scottish actor?

“But “Barack Obama” is a fictional character, currently played by Barry Dunham-Soetero. The “Barack Obama” character was created in the minds of Dunham-Soetero and the American Progressive movement.”

$$$$$$$$$$$$

Well played. The last six years has indeed seemed like a bad movie. Unfortunately, there are still two more year-long reels to run.

Liberals are sick with hate, anger, envy, jealousy and covetous. That adds up in one word -EVIL.

I’d agree. Idris Elba played “Stringer” Bell on the HBO series “The Wire”. He portrayed a character who was “cool”, smooth, and in control with an underlying hint of violence. That’s pretty much the way I see a Bond character.

“indentured Servants” were not slaves. They worked for a number of years, and then they were free. Slaves were.... slaves. Equating the two is nonsense, but that won’t matter to you I think.

Jim in Huckleberry Finn was “Nigger Jim”. Unless Vanilla Ice is playing him, I’m not buying it.
