'The next James Bond star should be black,' says Daniel Craig

[Vulpix]

Daily Mail (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1083343/The-James-Bond-star-black-says-Daniel-Craig-salutes-Barack-Obama.html): On the day history was made with the election of the first U.S. black president, actor Daniel Craig has said the next James Bond star should also be black.
Speaking at the opening of Quantum of Solace at the International Film Festival in Rome, Craig sang the praises of America's president-elect, saying the moment has now arrived for a black 007 too.

Addressing reporters on the red carpet, the 40-year-old said: 'If we can have a black US president we can have a black James Bond.'


:rolleyes2:

[Jimbo Gomez]

Why not? The present one is already a poof. If they have to go PC, best to go all the way. :D

[Arrow Cross]

Intensify the gags! Go Modern West!

*Cynical laughter*

[Aragorn]

Well, there is now a first black president in the USA, Rotterdam in the Netherlands has his first muslem-Maroccan mayor, so quite frankly, nothing suprises me anymore.

[SaveEurope]

James Bond is a tall, dark-haired, blue-eyed Englishman. He is not short and blond like Daniel Craig, and he certainly isn't African. If it does happen, I would savor the inevitable decline of the 007 franchise.

[Æmeric]

Daniel Craig is a Negrophiliac. He has a mental disease. There currently seems to be an epidemic of Negrophilia.

[Beorn]

My adoration for the actor who is Daniel Craig aside, the actual thought that James Bond will be played by a Negro is truly disturbing.

Shame on you, Daniel Craig, for even contemplating the thought. :mad:

[The Dragonslayer]

I am so sick and tired of all this adoration for all things black. There are talks of a black Doctor Who, a black Wonder Woman, etc. I've been a big Bond fan since I can remember. This would be the end of me watching the newer Bond films. I'm not going to watch a black 007.

[Teuton]

Percentage of liking Daniel Craig before:
63%

Percentage after:
minus infinity+1%


He can go to hell.

[The Dragonslayer]

I've heard Craig as well as others talk about how Bond should be either gay or black coming up. This is so ridiculous. Why don't they just make him a gay black Bond!?! That will surely be box office gold. :D They are going to turn off a lot of fans. I hope they do. I hope it bombs. That will teach them a lesson. Craig was already a big enough difference from the look of Bond. I sure don't want a black actor or some other minority to be playing 007.

[Æmeric]

James Bond is English (though he has been portrayed by a Scot & an Irishman) & heterosexual. Altering these basis premises & he would no longer be James Bond no matter what they call him. In the same way, the Arab & African immigrants will never be French no matter what degree people like Bruni-Sarkozy might go to in their warped attempts at social & demographical engineering. How they will succeed in doing is iradicating the French.

[The Dragonslayer]

I don't really consider the Daniel Craig character to be much of a James Bond. He's more Jason Bourne.

[007]

James Bond is English

Exactly. Daniel Craig is a moron.

[Thordis]

Addressing reporters on the red carpet, the 40-year-old said: 'If we can have a black US president we can have a black James Bond.'Yes. The US president was traditionally a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant. I recall seeing black US presidents in movies years ago and thinking how surreal it was. Now it became reality. Just like these "black Vikings", it's an adaptation to the multicultural and multiracial world situation, disregarding any historical/traditional reality or consistency, for the sake of political correctness. A black James Bond is as absurd as a white Martin Luther King, Jr.

[The Dragonslayer]

I can remember for years seeing Hollywood have a black president in movies and on television. Now it's become reality. It won't surprise me to see a black James Bond. That will be utterly stupid. They are revising our history so this should not be a big shock. It's still wrong though. Next they will make a film about Julius Caesar and have him be black.

[007]

Reminiscent of the Magic Negro in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves preaching freedom and science to the backwards English. :mad:

[Lenny]

I don't really consider the Daniel Craig character to be much of a James Bond. He's more Jason Bourne. I thought the same. These movies have become ridiculously distorted from the originals, and even from the '90s ones.

[Stegura]

Sean 'Diddy' Combs is so sure he will be picked as the first black James Bond - he has splashed out £500,000 on making his 007 audition tape.


The hip hop mogul has previously spoken of his desire to play an African-American incarnation of the suave superspy, and has set plans in motion to ensure he lands the coveted role.

Combs travelled to the luxurious South of France to film the promo near the Casino Royale; the inspiration behind current blonde Bond Daniel Craig's debut film in the long-running franchise.

The rapper took to the skies in a helicopter, wearing a tuxedo and surrounded by his very own Bond girls.

And the star is adamant that after Craig has surrendered his license to kill, he will be in line for the part - because of U.S. president-elect Barack Obama's historical victory at the American election earlier this month.

[Oresai]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoo!!!:eek::(
I`ve been a huge Bond fan all my life. Imo, the best was Connery, and there`s been nobody to touch him since.
Like with another popular character here, Dr. Who, there`s always a push to make the next one black or Asian. :(
I wish they would stick true to the authors original character and not give in to political correctness (at one point they mooted a female bond, idiots) just to shut up the `minorities` who somehow feel cheated if a character doesn`t represent them, never mind that one of their number could if they choose, easily create a role model or whatever they want, for them.
Leave our Bond alone, that`s what I say! :mad:
Can see the future...Bond...a female/lesbian/muslim/single mother/disabled, just to suit everyone except we normal folks.
Grrrrr.....:(

[Groenewolf]

Comeone they already have gotten a black Felix. Why must they have Bond as well.:eek:

Yes, a negro won the presidency -- now everyone will become negroes.

Is it April Fools' Day? :confused:

[Eldritch]

Great idea -- if they want to flush the whole series down the toilet. Sure, there have been many negro action heroes, but has anyone managed to create a franchise that is legendary in the history of film-making, with 20+ best-selling movies, and with an audience that will, even the most recent Bond movie isn't one of the classic ones, always turn up in numbers enough to make making the film worth it?

If Diddy/Daddy/Puffy/Baffy/whatever it's name is this week gets the role, the entertainment press will be exctatic (or pretend to be), the film itself will get better than average ratings (of course), but lackluster box office earnings.

Two years later, the second negro Bond movie will come out, to lukewarm reviews and empty theaters. Then, years later, someone may or may not attempt to revive the series from the ruins.

Niggermania.com is a pretty lowbrow site, but one of their members, CelticPrideGirl, hit the nail on the head when she said: "they ruin EVERYTHING".

It will be a flop if he´s cast as such.

Sounds like a good prediction. I know I won't be seeing it. I choose my own entertainment. I tend to avoid movies that might strike a nerve or a sensitive issue.

[Aemma]

I don't get it!:mad:

I'm with Oresai...give me that dashing and intelligent Bond in Connery any day, though that cutie puppy-dog-eyed vulnerable-looking blondie Craig comes a close second for me I have to admit. :D But a non-Northern European to play Bond is true sacrilege!! Just like the idiocy with the present remaking of Beowulf!...all of it, absolute lunacy!

Can blacks take orders from authoritative figures within the higher echelons of British Secret Service?

Exactly.

[zack]

I hope they do this. It will bomb in the movies just like that horrid Lucas film Red tails. We know how all black movies tend to perform.

Whites don't want to watch them. Asians don't want to watch them. Mestizos sure as shit don't want to watch black movies. No one wants to watch all black movies or movies with all black actors.

Put quite simply i hope they do this so they can maybe get it through their head that no one likes blacks. The other races don't want to date them,watch them,be around them,etc.

Do it hollywood..pleased do it :thumbs up

the thing is a black would be so out of place as bond even diversity happy hollywood knows it wouldn't sell. Blacks just can't be taken seriously in roles as intelligent and sophisticated people, especially not leading ones.

You and Austin, maybe Lagerfeld say this. All the mestizos here watch black movies, so much so, I assume they're for them. If you were going to make a pro-minority, anti-white film black people are your go-tos and other minorities identify with them.

Austin also said, in this correctly I think, that the the 25 dollar DVD market is minority dominated.

It's different when dealing with recent illegal immigrants and longer-established people. The latter identify as/with blacks to a large degree.

I don't think they do. Maybe according to the democrat party,but in real life the mestizos pretty much despise them. They may ally with them for voting and political purposes but socially they could not be farther apart.

They may play a mean game of 'gang up on whitey' but there seems to be some deep enmity between the Latino community and blacks. LA is being cleansed of blacks and race wars have popped up throughout California between rival gangs.Latinos will drive by and just shoot up random blacks and are forcing them to flee California in droves.

The democrat party for a long while has been a mish mash of minorities and 'radicals' who pay lip service to each other. I think that behind closed doors they dislike each other a good bit. Blacks vote democrat but vote against gay marriage in large numbers when ever given the chance even though gays tend to be their political allies.

I imagine Mestizos(mexican-americans)feel the same way about blacks. I live next door to a few and from what i can understand they dislike them. I do know that Latino culture(mexican american) frowns heavily upon Mestiza women getting with blacks.

White gangs are also racist - ie, more racist than the white population at large.

Those kinds of stories are loved by the WN and or general rightwing pandering news circuits because it shows:

Blacks vote democrat but vote against gay marriage in large numbers when ever given the chance even though gays tend to be their political allies.eg, "the failure of multiculturalism" and "hypocritical anti-racism". But Black people are mostly just getting replaced. They have lower birthrates and Mexicans have immigrants and the native birthrate.


I imagine Mestizos(mexican-americans)feel the same way about blacks. I live next door to a few and from what i can understand they dislike them. I do know that Latino culture(mexican american) frowns heavily upon Mestiza women getting with blacks. I don't know what "Latino culture (mexican american)" refers to necessarily because I've seen it expressed thus:
1. Catholic recent immigrants / older people
2. Wanksters (some real gangsters), no/broken Spanish spoken
3. Often Protestant converted/otherwise assimilated working Americans

#2 is what I'm talking about and the majority end-product. They'll mix or not mix, point is they are often welfare dependents, listen to gangster rap by blacks or their group, pretend to be gangsters, buy lots of consumer crap, hate white people largely based on television and identify with blacks on the screen, through consumed music, take up rapping and so on. Older generation types dislike blacks (which is standard in Mexico anyway).

Same goes for Southeast Asians. Maybe this is just a Cal thing.

Samoans:

Chicano culture: smoking weed, glorifying gangsters.
Black culture: smoking weed/crack, glorifying gangsters.
White trash culture: smoking meth, glorifying motorcycle gangsters.
Gang culture: largely multiethnic per gang

Throw in gutter racism, mixing, and you have your friendly neighbourhood underclass and growing base for popular culture, no small amount listening to the same mainstream black hip-hop and who probably would love to watch a Puff Daddy 007 movie.

Looks
Fleming decided Bond should look a little like both the American singer Hoagy Carmichael and himself[8] and in Casino Royale, Vesper Lynd remarks, "Bond reminds me rather of Hoagy Carmichael, but there is something cold and ruthless." Likewise, in Moonraker, Special Branch Officer Gala Brand thinks that Bond is "certainly good-looking… Rather like Hoagy Carmichael in a way. That black hair falling down over the right eyebrow. Much the same bones. But there was something a bit cruel in the mouth, and the eyes were cold

How does race play a part in James Bond? I don't see how him being of a different race would make a difference in the character or the story. Making him black or another race just for the sake of changing the is race is kinda dumb. But if they find a non-white actor that had a better audition than anyone else, then I don't see any problem.

Sure it was weird to see him as a Norse God but it wasn't a movie about Norse Mythology. It was a movie about a Marvel character called Thor. A character who's back story is very loosely based on Norse Mythology. Most of the stuff he does has nothing to do with it.
