quote:Shaft is a movie about a black P.I. who rescues a girl from Italian mobsters in the 60's. The plan they use to save the girl involves having his men dress up as cooks, waiters & elevator operators to be able to gain access to the whites only hotel where they are holding her.
Shaft would never be a white guy.
quote:Roots is about the slavery trade in the 1850's so the people had to be black.
The cast of Alex Haley's Roots would never be all white
James Bond is about a "secret agent" on Her Majesty's Secret Service. In 2012 this person could be any race and either male or female. The Bond name just gives whoever makes the movie the clout to spend the money required to make a good Bond entry. Who gives a crap what color the agent is?

I do. Because James Bond is about the exploits of a man who was shaped by the deaths of his parents, his white parents, and his loyalty to his country.
They made sequels to Shaft and put him in different scenarios other than the original movie. Hell, they even had Samuel L. Jackson play his son in the 2000 version. Why can't Shaft have a white son?
