Outrage Over Martin Luther King Being Portrayed By A White Man

Bond being a secret agent who has a license to kill (using guns perhaps) is a central part of being Bond. So using their feelings to solve spy problems clearly wouldn't work that well. Someone could make it but I don;t think ti would be very good. It is however not at all comparable. Stop being so over dramatic.

We live in modern multicultural country. A black person can be just as British as a white dude.

As to whether Bond should ever be another gender?

I dunno. I wouldn't loose sleep if someone made a female bond. Would be like a female spider man I guess. It is art after all, it could be interesting. You can make your films and someone else can make their transgender spy thrillers.

You're just one of those people who likes to **** all over tradition to suit your political agenda, aren't you? It seems nothing is sacred nowadays. There always has to be some douchebag try to turn something into a laughing stock.

It's funny that whenever the libtards complain and campaign to have white characters changed to match their agenda, they justify their actions in the name of equality. Yet, here we have a perfect example of what MLK truly intended:


"I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."


Okay, maybe for the sake of the play they should have cast a black person, but the people complaining about this have truly shot themselves in the foot this time. These are the same type of people who'd complain if a black guy portrayed Hitler or rejoice that James Bond was made into a black character, purely because of skin colour.

Moreover, there is rarely any complaints about a straight guy playing a homosexual, why does it only garner criticism when it's to do with race?

Some days I just like take a step back and see how pathetic and pedantic human beings really are. An actor in a play had the 'wrong skin colour', and now it's in the news and we're bickering about it. This actually matters to us and causes offence. Isn't it freaking bizarre?

What do you mean, it is bizarre that it causes offence or...?

I mean it's bizarre that race means this much to us as a species. We're obsessed with it.

Well it is a pretty important issue and it's easy for a lot of us to say otherwise because we've never known the prejudice and what it feels like. The same goes for a lot of people from other minorities, for example, the LGBTQIA community.

Also, I'm just wondering why you don't think it is understandibly causing outrage in this particular case?

And prejudice is part of that obsession.

I'm not denying that it has affected people's lives in a significant way. In fact, it affecting people's lives in a significant way is exactly what's crazy about it - that something as biologically trivial as skin colour has so much influence on us.

I understand completely why it's causing outrage - I'm not challenging the logic. But it shouldn't be causing outrage in the first place, if you get my point.

"LGBTQIA" ... it's seven letters now?

Yes - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual.

What about U, A, T, P, H and O?

Get with the times...

We've already establish he's fictional

but that is who Fleming had in mind.

Yes - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer/Questioning, Intersex, Asexual.

That discriminates against eunuchs. Disgraceful!

Hardly. A eunuch isn't a sexuality.

I think eunuchs are wrestling with issues of sex and sexuality just as much as those labelled with any of those other letters, perhaps more so, and they aren't intersex.

Irrelevant? The acronym stands as one for sexual orientation labels. 'Eunuch' is not an orientation.

Neither are those represented by Q and I, and A. Your point?
