Next James Bond should be black

Don't feel like searching for it so it may have been discussed but I feel as if the next James Bond should be black. Read me out. James Bond was created during the Cold War and had more to do with Caucasians facing off in spywork with others mixed in (Cuba, South America, etc.) If they were truly going to modernize it, would it be best for them to make the next one black? The main issues in the world involve the Middle East, China, and Africa (which leaves out Russia). Infiltration would be easier for the black agent speaking foreign languages as opposed to Daniel Craig who is 'obvious'
Just a thought I had, don't think it would happen. But thoughts?

You don't think a black writer and black actor can come up with their own super spy so they have to appropriate an English character long established?

I'm sure a black guy is going to blend right into the Middle East and China.

I honestly couldn't care less if they picked a black or white guy
As long as the guy can play the character

This. They need a change. They started off great with Casino Royale and then phttt.
Either Tarantino should get to do his interpretation of Casino Royale or they need to do something to save the franchise
black Englishmen. It's just more relevant that he could disguise himself and infiltrate a middle eastern network over a whitey keeping in mind the world at the time or they could go Robert Downey in Tropic Thunder
Then again it's about $$ and people would rather watch white peoples

What they first need to realize is that Bond is not Jason Bourne. He's smooth and a badass, but he would be killed quickly if he were facing Bourne's stakes or villains.
Secondly, camp is fine, but you can't have such a degree of connectivity that you lose the audience. So not only is Blofeld James Bond adoptive brother,and not only is he connected to Bond's last few villains, but of all of them how does Silva fit into all this? That is never remotely explained. Silva was a mad dog who was clearly solely after M and could only frick up Blofeld's plans. I doubt Blofeld wouldn't have killed him if he were working for him. It was just lazy screenwriting.

GTFO. Tarantino should never be allowed near a Bond movie.

Wow, you meant it so much you had to say it twice, huh?
Tarantino has said in interviews he wants permission to do his version of Casino Royale. Loyal to the book, so they would be playing baccarat. And he wanted it to be Pierce Brosnan.

Kind of weird that they went with an Austin Powers twist when Austin Powers is a James Bond parody.
