Who thinks James Bond is rubbish?

[Denilson-The-Comeback]

Just like John Shaft is meant to be black, James Bond is meant to be white.

I don't subscribe to any attempts to make famous fictional characters politically correct.

James Bond has been a white man every single time for the past 50 years.

Nothing about James Bond's character requires that.

If a black man was playing a historically white man like Abraham Lincoln or William Shakespeare then I'd disagree with that

But when white man plays historically black men or men of color

No one has a problem with it

Gods of Egypt (2016) – Gerard Butler, a Scottish actor of Irish descent, plays Set, an Egyptian god.



Gods and Kings (2014) – Sigourney Weaver, a White American actress of English, Scottish and Scotch Irish descent, plays Tuya, the wife of an Egyptian pharaoh, Sethi I.



Argo (2012) – Ben Affleck, a White American actor of Scottish, Irish, German and Swiss descent, plays Tony Mendez, of Mexican, Italian, French and Irish descent.



World Trade Center (2006) – William Mapother, a White American actor of German, English and Irish descent, plays Sgt Jason Thomas, a Black American.



The Passion of the Christ (2004) – Jim Caviezel, a White American actor of Swiss, Slovak and Irish descent, plays Jesus, a Palestinian Jew. The before picture shows what someone of Jesus’s time and place looked like.



Kung Fu (1972-1975) – David Carradine, a White American actor of mainly Irish descent, plays a Eurasian character Bruce Lee meant for himself. Carradine is not one bit Asian



Cleopatra (1963) – Elizabeth Taylor, an English American actress, plays Cleopatra, an Egyptian queen, who was probably part Greek and part Egyptian. The before picture is a forensic reconstruction of a woman who was likely Arsinoe, her half-sister.



The Conqueror (1956) – John Wayne, a White American actor of Scottish, Scotch Irish, Irish and English descent, plays Genghis Khan, a Mongolian.



And the worst thing about it is most of the movies listed above are not Fictional. James Bond is fictional. ‘The Mummy’ (1999) portrayed Imhotep – the world’s first multi-genius – as a villain. That’s like portraying Albert Einstein as a serial killer in a horror film. Only in Hollywood. Fifty years from now I wouldn’t be surprised if MLK is portrayed be a white American. Like a magician, Hollywood folks use their magic wands to turn historical people of color into modern-day White people.

Always interesting the amount of “confusion” and petty sidebar-ing when it comes to an argument that is presented in a pretty cut and dry manner. Hollywood white washes characters and has (almost) since its inception. Pretty easy concept to follow and to prove….but because of white fragility blk ppl have to try to make the white folks feel comfortable about confronting this issue which is presently still happening at a fairly regular clip.

Garry Coleman was Abraham Lincoln when Arnold played him at the school play in the 1982 episode of Different Strokes called Kathy.

Did you kick off then? Did you?

Hello?

I'd like for you not to ruin yet another harmless thread, but I must say I hated David Carradine in the Kung Fu lead role.

That said, Hollywood has done quite a lot to perpetuate racial stereotypes and has generally not done anyone any favors by not combating ignorant racial beliefs among people (of all races).

Why are so scared of what I say ? Why does this terrify you so much ?

You claim I find racism in everything but the white supremacist put racism into everything. This is post about Bond but it was white supremacists who made a big deal about Bond being black. In fact the "Black Bond" thing has probably being the biggest news story regarding the Bond Franchise of the last few years and you're getting mad when it bring it up ?

And this is aimed at a Saddo member (Me) who NEVER starts threads.

"China, coronavirus etc" (White supremacist biological warfare I suspect)
"Scientists Again Warn About Global Insect Decline — But Will We Act?" (And this was done by who ?)
"Tommy Robinson ARRESTED for ‘Assaulting’ Man Who Allegedly Molested His Daughter" (Hardcore White supremacist)
"Impeachment" (Trump played the racist ticket to get in)
"Why does the Western media ignore what is happening to the Palestinians?" (Western means white)

That his my posts are such an affront to you speaks VOLUMES about the racism you have, where even a single small instance of contrary opinions are a threat to you. And causes you to erupt like a hilarious volcano.

That said, Hollywood has done quite a lot to perpetuate racial stereotypes and has generally not done anyone any favors by not combating ignorant racial beliefs among people (of all races).

Typical middle ground @TitoFan doesn't like to take a stance on anything. In the first comment you basically say "Don't take about racism" and this comment you say "But racism exists"

Name me a problem that get's better by not talking about it ?

Answer the above question first, Denny..... then we'll talk (or not).

Scared? No. Disgusted? Yeah. Nobody else will call you out on it, choosing instead to ignore you in the hopes you'll go away. But I'm different. I call people out on their bullshit. Consider yourself called out.

You claim I find racism in everything but the white supremacist put racism into everything. This is post about Bond but it was white supremacists who made a big deal about Bond being black. In fact the "Black Bond" thing has probably being the biggest news story regarding the Bond Franchise of the last few years and you're getting mad when it bring it up ?

Nobody else is saying this but I will. No issues with your claims about Bond and the W.S. thing. You're welcome to state your opinions.
Just try once in a while to engage in a topic....... ANY...... topic....... without looking for the W.S. angle. Just sayin'.

And this is aimed at a Saddo member (Me) who NEVER starts threads.

"China, coronavirus etc" (White supremacist biological warfare I suspect) Of COURSE you do.
"Scientists Again Warn About Global Insect Decline — But Will We Act?" (And this was done by who ?) Who the hell knows? Humor us.
"Tommy Robinson ARRESTED for ‘Assaulting’ Man Who Allegedly Molested His Daughter" (Hardcore White supremacist) Okay. Probably so.
"Impeachment" (Trump played the racist ticket to get in) No comment.
"Why does the Western media ignore what is happening to the Palestinians?" (Western means white) Warped.

And your point?
I couldn't care less whether you start threads or not. In fact maybe you SHOULD start threads of your own so we can all talk about nothing but W.S.

That his my posts are such an affront to you speaks VOLUMES about the racism you have, where even a single small instance of contrary opinions are a threat to you. And causes you to erupt like a hilarious volcano.

Meaningless, incoherent garbage.

That said, Hollywood has done quite a lot to perpetuate racial stereotypes and has generally not done anyone any favors by not combating ignorant racial beliefs among people (of all races).

Your English comprehension disabilities are not my problem. If you can't see my stance on racism by what I write, then I suggest you remove your head out of your ass and learn to read.

well this thread went quiet

[TitoFan]

well this thread went quiet

Sure did


If it'll help, I can get us back on track by mentioning I'm very much looking forward to No Time to Die, supposedly Craig's last appearance in a Bond film. Saw the trailer, and it looks good. Same good action, impossible stunts, familiar faces in the cast..... not to mention the ultra-cool Aston Martin.

Beyond that I can't say much else, as it may be considered a spoiler alert by those who take spoiler alerts very seriously (even with trailers).

All I'll say is that there appears to be a plot detail which now would appear amusingly ironic to those of us that have been reading the thread. Shhhh....


Oh.... that... and to say I'm glad they're done filming because Italy is now "closed."



Although Craig's not my favorite Bond, I must admit he's grown on me, and I'm not looking forward to yet another change. (Then again I think this is what..... the third time he's said "this is my last Bond"?)

I'm not looking because it's already there.

Well if I was to start my own threads I'd get banned.

You guys and the mods ain't ready for that on Saddo. Black history month last month and I didn't start one single thread about it. Not one.
