Daniel Craig: The Next Bond Should Be Black

Daniel Craig and Bond girl costar Olga Kurylenko hype up their new 007 movie, Quantum Of Solace, at the St. Regis Grand Hotel on Wednesday in Rome, Italy.

There, Craig, 40, sang the praises of Barack Obama, America’s president-elect.

“If we can have a black U.S. president we can have a black James Bond,” he said. “This is as significant as when man landed on the moon. The Obama election is a wake up call for the whole world.

Craig added, “I’m a real fan of Obama because I like his political ideas. And I think it’s the right moment for a black James Bond.”

WHO DO YOU THINK could be the next black James Bond???

15+ pictures inside of Daniel Craig bringing Solace to Rome…

Bet you 10 dollars he can’t name one of Obama’s ‘political ideas’. He is not Martin Luther King people, he’s an African American politician who is the mouthpiece of the Democrat Party.

No one talks about other minorities. It’s always “Black”. How about an asian or latino Bond?

“We have a blcak president” ? !!!

1) Daniel Craig is English, he has a Queen and a Prime Minister

2) The US has president, not a black president.( playing the race card is pure ignorance)

Garrett, you f***ing dumbass, it took all that “whining and crying” to get a black president. And it wasn’t just one race that tipped the scale. If anything, the Latino vote gave Obama places like Virginia. STFU and STFD

Dear Jared,

The real James Bond WAS black. Sir Ian Fleming was driving through Jamaica when his car broke down in a predominantly poor and black area. He was certain he would be robbed an killed. Instead, a man came out and fixed his car, even refusing payment. Fleming promised to name the main character in his next book after him. The man’s name was James Bond.

Good lord.

Anyway, I agree with Infamous, except I want someone a little more smoldering as a bond. That is one reason why Daniel Craig is an epic fail.

i hope to god the african americans whom still cry about being held down and blaming current white people for slavery hundreds of yeares ago in America finally shut up, after white people elected obama president pretty much”

Garrett, what the hell kind of an ignorant comment is this? a hundred years ago in this very country african americans were treated like animals. they are not and were not any less american than anyone else, and it is shameful that it happened. and “white people elected obama president pretty much”. this COUNTRY voted for obama. this COUNTRY elected him president. and this country includes people of ALL races.

When Casino Royale came out wasn’t Craig saying that the next Bond should be gay? Now he thinks the next Bond should be black? Does he think the only way to make progress is through James Bond?? If the next James Bond is Black I vote either Don Cheadle of Mos Def

Wow that would be awesome, but it would perhaps change the legacy a bit…wouldn’t it?
