If Idris Elba Becomes 007... I'm out...

I don't know. I'd say petty is not wanting someone to get a job because of the color of their skin. 

And this is where you spin my OP out of context to try and mold it to your weak point.

I don't care about the color of an actor's skin. What I'm saying is, I want Hollywood to get creative and develop new franchises, and new roles specifically for Black actors. 

That is worse. You are trying to pacify some ridiculous self righteous agenda about how Black people have been oppressed since they arrived in the United States. So we are going to let you be "James Bond" or "Superman" in a movie.

Wow... that's so nice of white Hollywood to do that.. (sarcasm)... that's actually a slap in the face of a black actor. I don't want to play a traditional white role if I'm a black actor. Why? Because now it's like you're doing it 'just because'.

Why not make a bad ass espionage film with a actor WRITTEN as a black male? That would be so much better. I'd love to see Idris Elba play a special agent, aging, not in his prime anymore, but experienced and intelligent who can still do things the younger agents can't. Not James Bond...
