Bond wasn't black! How can you have a black James Bond, who was a white Scotsman? The Ian Flemming character was not black!
Why do these things always have to be about race with you people? Let's not make this into a racial issue too. It isn't. It's about keeping the character of James Bond true to the character Flemming created. Period.
Get a life. And furthermore, Rush was not the first to make this argument. He only picked it up and added his own comments.
Its a shame that we as a country make these idiots rich and famous and all because they say things that are polarizing. It doesn't even matter what Rush believes, for all we know, he's just saying the things he knows will push the most buttons, that's all that matters........as long as buttons are pushed and people tune into his show, he wins.
As far as a Black Bond goes, it doesn't matter because if the actor is strong and is playing the role well, nobody other than really hard core racists will care. In fact, the people who don't want a black bond are people who are afraid this guy will do a better job and be a more believable bond than all the previous bonds combined.
Its the movies, its not real life, i would have no problem with a Black bond, in fact, i would encourage it.
