Some Negros (of which I am one) are getting tired of the pandering!

Black media moguls seem to lack any imagination!

Shaft, Superfly, & Black Dynamite.

It is pathetic pandering so Hollywood can look progressive but the sad part is it works.

Do you not understand the difference between an actual historical figure who actually lived and a fictional one?

You're right about this. They published this golden nugget after the racist Jew exec Amy Pascal's e-mails about Obama. They had to soften her image a bit, so they came out with this one.

Yeah, that's what I thought he meant when the OP said HOT actor..

Never heard of the GUY so I googled him.

Rush is right. He CAN'T be James Bond. This guy is ugly! Not only is Bond white and British, he's handsome. This unknown isn't.

Your post shows you are a bigot, yet oblivious to that fact and call another the same thing.

I thought we were talking about Idris playing a part in a movie....one I happen to think he would be well cast in.

I'd watch that, though I will say I am really loving the Daniel Craig Bond series.

You just compared Harriet Tubman to a fictional character.

There are no words...

You still call black people "negroes".
