Why James Bond shouldn't be black.

in #blog7 years ago (edited)

James Bond shouldn't be black. James Bond is a fictional charackter but a important charackter in pop culture and he has a certain image, the suits, the gun (Walter PPK ofcourse), the womanizing, the british sports cars mostly Aston Martins, his interactions with other charackters like Pussy Galore, M, Q etc. and yes he is white not that that ever mattered to the millions of viewers World Wide including myself but ofcourse it is part of Bond's identity.
Imagine for a second that in a future Documentary about Barack Obama that the actor playing him was Chinese eg a yellow man. The black community would be perplexed maybe even outraged and I doubt political correctness would prevent them from voicing their discontent. BO is a mixed race person, he is not Chinese Asian. There are many actors that are mixed race or light skinned blacks. It's not a question of racism but authenticity and a correct portrayal and in that question the visual matters.
James Bond is white. We know him as white. Leave him white. Surely MI6 employs more than just 1 Secret Agent, surely as there are many black people in British Society there would also be many black people working in the different security services of Britain so why not create a new charackter that also works at MI6 but he or she is their own Charackter. And from time to time Bond and this charackter would interact.
That's my opinion on it. What do you guys think?

Great write up
Thank You Kindly

Agree. Ill go watch a black bond when I get to go see a white shaft. Even though i could care less about skin color its important to have your child hood heroes and James bond is a classic white hero. The argument of course is as white men we have to many heroes. However taking my hero is not progress more new heroes that are black is progress.

White Shaft lol. Exactly.
