Are you saying you approve of his woman beating? I mean that's the interview where he says it i believe.
Would you support the idea of a black actor playing James Bond?
\Just saying he acts like his character AKA The real James Bond

What "real" James Bond?
What would people think of a Black Bond? What would be next? MLK biopic played by a white man? Heck why not a white woman?
a) King was real person, and...
b) King's race was an inextricable part of what made his life significant.
Neither of these things are true of Bond.

Haha No Just saying he acts like his character AKA The real James Bond
(There was actually a Simpson's episode that kind of touched upon this idea - where Homer unknowingly lands a great job and moves the family to a beautiful new home so he can work for a high tech organization... which turns out to be a group run by a Bond-style villain)
In one of the earlier movies with Connery, Bond has a bad guy in a hotel room - the guy's been disarmed and is on his knees surrendering - if I remember correctly, I think the cops might even be on the way. But Bond just shoots his captive which was both brutal and kind of stupid as the authorities could have pumped this guy for information about whichever terrorist group he belonged to.

As a little kid, I remember being a bit traumatized by Bond movies - what I mean is, I'd always wonder about the bad guy's henchmen. They'd all usually be killed either in a hail of gunfire or an explosion, and I'd always wonder about their families - did they have kids? Did the kids ever find out why Daddy just never came home one day?

If Hermione can be black without World War III breaking out, then Bond can be black as well. not an issue at all in 2018.

What do you think
That's just a perfect man.
oops I beg your pardon. I'm not sure how that happened. My bad.
Ripped. Look at those pretty deltoids and chocolate guns.
Ouch.
Because...
a) King was real person, and...
b) King's race was an inextricable part of what made his life significant.
Neither of these things are true of Bond.

Could argue that Bond whilst clearly fictional is based upon Fleming himself, a kind of WW2 era English gentleman spy. Let's face it in present day there still aren't many black faces amongst English upper classes, and its those upper classes that still dominate the higher echelons of Western security services, and particularly British officers in our forces.
The source on the above is from accounts I've read from lower ranking security personell complaining of officer ranks being grandfathered in from the right families/skull and bones etc.
Like I've said previously I like Idris Elba but it would feel like unrealistic diversity foe a black bond. I'm sure I've also said before that Bond doesn't work well in the modern age, they should consider going back to the 60s/70s in the future. Modern espionage is all mobile phones and drones.

I misread the title as "Would you support the idea of a black actor playing Jesus"

He's too old now. But you know what black actor would have been a great Bond in his day? Sidney Poitier. He has class with a cool, calm demeanor. He has a British sounding accent, he was born in the Bahamas....and he could kick some ass if need be.
It's about time we had Jane Bond, a promiscuous (perhaps bisexual), bacardi & coke slugging (stirred not shaken) power-woman, black or white, who saves the world on numerous occasions from evil, leather-clad female villains with patches over one eye or stroking a cat.
