Author of James Bond Book Claim Idris Elba is "Too Street" for James Bond Role. 

Because white people don't accept us? They enslaved us,tortured us, and killed us. But look at us now:Millionaires,Ballers,Lawyers. Fuck em. WE GON BE ALRIGHT LOL

chucki23E I know you are trying to say something good about the accomplishments of the black community but all that you mentioned we still work for the white man because he owns every damn thing.

+chucki23E You say that like that's the majority of black people. That's a very miniscule amount. There are more black people incarcerated than in college. We can't piggyback off the few that have done something with their lives, we have to work to improve the majority of our people.

Its an illusion if you can't take it with you when you die you don't own it anything they think they own will still exist with out them

Bosses find a way

Sonia Singh Where the hell have you been woman😠

Sonia Singh Yea! *Hustle Simmons*

Sonia Singh Gotchas!

Lee robinson FUCK WHAT YOU "WANT"

+Mason Storm 09🎭 Definitely true its like how many times can a generic white male save the world AGAIN before it gets boring. They just don't want us in anything smh

haha true!!

uploading hella? hella what?

+Ro Antonio Whats the only thing he uploads to youtube 😐

Lol, this is normal. If you're talking about the number of videos.

+ManDoggerzz Out here never lackin like lil Reese

Agreed and well said

+Ave Mcree (CeeMurda DaBasedgod) True its like the minute a black person plays an iconic role in anything in a movie people just lose their shit for not reason at all its ridiculous. I guess we can't be in anything or save the world either

+Ave Mcree (CeeMurda DaBasedgod) the only person who should be black and playing Green Lantern is the black guy who played Spawn!

L-Mighty Effect you talking about Michael Jai White tbh your right because Common (and this gunna sound racist AF) is too light skinned. John Stewart was dark skinned in the comic book. Keeping it real, Idris could make for a good green latern. I really wish for Marvel/Disney to remake Blade and it has to be either Wesley or Michael.

the point is the character is fictional so it doesn't matter the race. spawn was created by a white oerson so thats not creating our own. we have lots of black movies but they are cast in a white society so it only makes sense to have a black james bond. whites are majority in england and in the US. you can't appeal to only a black audience history can show you the numbers that black movies make. the most successful black people work for white people thats the bloody truth.

vaunb10 Black panther is also fictional. But casting him as white wouldn't make any sense now would it. So even though Spawn, (which i referenced for a reason) is fictional and created by a white guy, casting Idris (or any black man) would make sense as opposed to a black batman, Spiderman etc. Point is its lame and unsettling to white audiences regardless. I direct you to the Fantastic Four. By the way we don't need white audiences to generate income for black created characters. Other races caught the memo. Why can't we?

The point in me saying its created by a white person is you say we should create our own. But then you wabt to see him play a white person created character. None of those characters you mentioned matter. They are fictional and should be played by anybody. I can see if its based in a true story it would be diffrent. If we are a part of this culture no matter what we create it will be a part of their culture. You fail to realize they use our creations and we get no credit. If you want to believe all the characters that are fictional should stay race specific to the first time they were made then go ahead. Just know egyptians were black and not a cartoon but are white in most movies. Let them control your way of thinking and believe all the super cgaracters have to be white. Black artist create characters and ideas everyday but won't be picked up by the mainstream. Keep dreaming that we'll have our own created characters go mainstream when they won't even let a black guy play a fictional character. It starts there but you want to please .

vaunb10 My stance still remains. YES we should create our own. Again I referenced Spawn because it minimally makes sense even though created by a white person.You can say none of these characters matter but they sure have generated money over the decades. So they matter enough. Nonetheless that doesn't disqualify us from attempting to do our own thing. Secondly Im well aware that they use our creations for their profit. In many cases however its our fault. We have a nasty habit of trying to share our culture with those that don't reciprocate. Lastly I don't care about mainstream. We have the creative ability and population to generate our own ish and make a profit. The Asians are doing it. Many of their cartoon creations are not mainstream. And Asians don't give two shits about playing an original white character or being accepted by white audiences. Maybe just maybe blacks can take notes.

Was that movie Fantastic Four any good, or was it as bad as people say, or is it the switch with the black character that their lowkey complaining about.

+nickbh15 Everything the actor plays is a must watch. The wire, Luther, when he play an undercover cop, any movies he is in...

+RealBigDeal22 ehh that movie with the giant monsters and robots fighting them was total shit, had me having legit power rangers flashbacks the whole fucking movie lmao 💯😂😂😂

+Will Powell I been waiting on somebody to notice that.

+NICKI'S TOUR I been tryna fill in, but mf's don't like me.

+Samzilla Thats what I'm saying and people are like "we need our own black characters" or "James Bond is supposed to be white" this shit would be epic if Idris was Bond

mark johnson to be honest I could care less what color a character is. As long as their is great acting, idris is a fucken amazing actor. Let's go idris!!

Samzilla Team Idris!!!!!

+melvin barnett Thanks for droppin' knowledge, woadie. One of the original settling groups of Jamaica, along side West Africans, were the British!

+melvin barnett Goldeneye was the best Bond film.....and n64 game

+melvin barnett how is that ironic? the Caribbean is as close as you can get to a slave plantation.

+melvin barnett And?

+KB BLU ikr. come a talk bout British own all the business dem, da bredda ya brite eeh!

*****​ you have been called out bro.

+N.W.A. I prefer Elba though

+N.W.A. be real though "Adrian Lester" really! over Idris fucking Elba thats like picking chocolate over rocky road! thats like choosing ken over Ryu! thats is really like some ole bullshit tbh

Thank you for shedding light on this.

"Who is also black..." so you're saying he is looking specifically for black men? That just the same amount of racism... it's like "I'm sorry about saying a black man can't be James Bond, so I'll make it up by finding another one."

takeover08 lmao, hey james bond's in the past did have a feminine ass karate chop.

You probably don't understand codewords. You probably think it's ok for white people to call black people "thugs" or white politicians calling Obama "uppity." FOH ass kisser

im not black because im not crying bloody murder because idris elba was called to street for the james bond role. okay.

black males are not suppose to be fans of naruto. shit im getting attacked by retards out here.

+Minato Namikaze Minato, shut yo bitch ass up. Go find your arm niqqa, go find your arm......

+Captain Punch Boxing Lmfao! I'm crying right now, I'm laughing so hard

Shit music. Won't listen. Good enough?

Mitch Charles Yeah, it was so hyped up and it was trash, just want to hear Akademiks funny ass slate it

Right! at least be honest with it jesus. You dont want James Bond to be black all of a sudden? who cares! makes sense to me. I dont want Shaft to be white all of a sudden. is that racist?? plz

There was a black superman

There are black supermen dumbass

+daddy quasimodon Naw nigga I'm talking about on the big screen not in the comics.

+Galore James Bond is a codename that is used by different spys

+Galore Correction. There is a black Superman. So your point is?

What about Shaft?

If race is important to the role of the fictional character then it shouldn't be changed like a white blank panther would be ridiculous, if you can show me that race is important to 007 then I'd agree with you.

Mitch Charles if race isn't important... then why the hell do people want to change James Bond's race??

+MillionaireRobot nobody isn't trying to change James Bond's race, Idris just wanted to try out for the role but the author's comment that was a little coded for racism, which made into a race issue.

Curty Langston ok let me be honest, first of I'm white. now... I find it weird as fu*k! for James Bond to be played by a black man all of a sudden. James Bond is a white man from England.... I mean wtf? xD I would be equally weirded out if George Clooney would audition for the new Shaft Movie, for the role of SHAFT. and... I was also a bit uncomfortable with that little ginger girl Annie now being played by a little black girl. Maybe I'm just old fashioned or something... you know, maybe. just dont understand the NEED for it.. it's kind of rubbing people the wrong way. If I was the director, I'd just say: "Nah man, James Bond is a white Englishman who is a secret agent. Not a black man." and feel no type of way about that, just being real. But I'm thinking the director felt the same way, only he was affraid of saying "Idris can't play James Bond because he's BLACK". Nowadays people have to tip toe and dance around these kinda things cuz sensitive ass people fu*king go NUTS when you say that. sensitive ass people would be shouting: "Omg! he said Idris can't play the role because he's black!!!" RACIST ASS %$&$&*^" all over Twitter, Facebook etc People are scared of that, once you're labelled as racist, you're basically fu*ked :P for real though, even if it's not "racist". in this case, is it though?? I mean, *you can't play the role cuz you Black!*... is that racist or not? it is in some way, aint it? but it's not like BAD BAD RACISM you know? the term get's thrown A LOT lately. Fu*king EVERYTHING is "racist" whatever that means anymore. you might argue this is racist too... though I would have no problem defending it. am I racist? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.. well I'm not scared of my opinion like this bitch ass director. This director said: Idris can't play James Bond cuz he's too "street"?? xD wtf is that!??? realllly though! :P (to me he isn't "street" at all, whatever the fu*k that means either!!) He thought that was a better response than: "He's Black"... amazing isn't it? What do you think? and if the director said: "Idris can't play Bond cuz he's black" would you have been like: "that's racist!" why? why not? are you the sensitive type? are you a "racist"? in what way? Tell me what you think. ty
