re: Rush Limbaugh doesn't want Idris Elba as Bond. ..

Not only is James Bond obviously not black, but Ian Fleming did not hold blacks in too high regard. I thought it was funny when they cast Felix Leiter as black. Here is one of his quotes from Live and Let Die the novel....

quote:

---

"We'll have to keep on our toes, where we’re going," said Felix Leiter, echoing his thoughts. "Harlem's a bit of a jungle these days. People don't go up there any more like they used to. Before the war, at the end of the evening, one used to go to Harlem just as one goes to Montmartre in Paris. They were glad to take one's money. One used to go to the Savoy Ballroom and watch the dancing. Perhaps pick up a high-yaller and risk the doctor's bills afterwards. Now that's all changed. Harlem doesn't like being stared at any more. Most of the places have closed and you go to the others strictly on sufferance. Often you get tossed out on your ear, simply because you're white. And you don't get any sympathy from the police either."
