Tom Hardy or someone of that ilk... I think Blacks are getting more than their fair share of the limelight for what little they put in. Everything they do is pushed to the forefront, it's gone mad!

I read a few months back about a black organization in England ranting that English authors of children's stories should have more black children as the main character/s. Why? How about ethnic minorities start writing some children books, do we need to wet nurse them all the way? If they're so important and want equality, let them stand on their own two feet, they certainly get enough thrown at them in terms of money and support.

James Bond isn't, nor should he be black, it's just become ludicrous!

Moderated - Leadified

Cool. As long as he fits the character, I'm down.

Gary Oldman is not fit enough to be Bond. Bond needs to be athletic.

I agree but only when his movies are like  "James Bond: 007 begins" and you essentially see how he became an agent etc.
Because in most pictures I found he looks even younger than in the one I used here.

Nope. I know, Im racist.

Pierce got 4 films, but I am all for totally removing Die Another Day from my mind if thats what we are doing.

I love him. He would be a great Bond and there is nothing "white" about Bond, Superman, Jesus or Starship troopers.

I can see it. I just saw him in Luther for the first time only 2 days ago and he was really good there and he fits your description of "an oldschool-playboy with a shitload of class.". Just give him the script...

Nothing wrong with having a black Bond imo. 

Regarding the whole White vs Black Bond thing, has anyone here actually read Ian Fleming's Casino Royale? How does he describe Bond?

I may have to read it one day.

Naaaw he just looks too young now. A hint of silver in his hair would suit him well as Bond.
