Ok, I’ve kind of quiet for the past week enjoying the
holidays with family and…well mostly friends.
Last week Rush Limbaugh ranted about one of my favorite actors Idris
Elba being rumored to be considered as the next James Bond. Now his argument was against him not because
he was a horrible actor or that he couldn’t make you believe that he could be
James Bond. No his argument was just
that he was black….Ok, last time I checked James Bond was a fictional
character. That means he can be warped
and changed to fit the cinematic needs of the studio that owns the rights to
make the movies. Does that mean you can
hire Matt Damon to portray Malcolm X? No
it doesn’t because that is completely retarded.
There is a difference in portraying a historical figure due to their
circumstances that surround their importance to history. James Bond is a Scottish Briton secret agent
who is a womanizer and fights for Queen and Country. So…what you’re telling me is that there are
no Black Scots? If this is true then I’ll
retract my argument against Idris Elba’s consideration but if there are…and I
know that they exist because we are EVERYWHERE then why the hell are we
listening to racist comments from a man who stopped making sense back in the 90’s. Listen Rush…we don’t need narrow-minded
individuals like you tearing down good actors when we as a people can make
ourselves look horrible on our own.
Every time I look at WorldStarHipHop.com I’m ashamed that I know that
website exists. Shaking my head at the
stupidity of idiots who have an audience.
I will say that Idris Elba responded perfectly by tweeting by a funny
face and saying, “Thanks for thinking I’m good enough. But isn’t James Bond attractive?” That there is what we call class people. Learn it.
