My argument is sincere I believe this role of the Black 007 belongs to a Black British actor!!
Why? My reasons are simply and you’re all probably thinking the same thing...yes...that’s right...Americans can not pull off a good Brit accent!!
And the 007 accent is typically the Queens English!! So why not use A Black Brit Actor? And give us, who where born here the opportunity to for fill this role??
We know our country and the culture far more than anyone outside of the UK.
Though I got love for actors like Jamie Foxx, Will Smith and other would be James Bond Black actors etc, I just don’t believe they can pull it off as well as a native actor from Britain. It’s already hard enough convincing the public to accept a Black male as a future 007, but at least lets keep it within these shores and create a Obama like fever for our new UK born Black James Bond...
its our time...so lets do this!!
Watch for more on the Black 007!! must be a UK actor though, Americans have a great image but they lack the Bond “British-ness” which is essential to play Bond!!
Here is P diddy's audition tape for Bond below. Please leave your views and comments for and against.
Much thanks from Black 007.

Daniel Craig says next Bond could be black
Now that the United States has a black President-elect, the world could be ready for a black Bond, 007 actor Daniel Craig has said.
The prospect would probably have Ian Fleming turning in his grave, Craig joked at a press conference in Rome prior to the Italian premier of the new Bond film, 'Quantum of Solace'.
"After Barack Obama's victory I think we might have reached the moment for a coloured 007.
"I think the role could easily be played by a black actor, because the character created by Ian Fleming in the Fifties has undergone a great deal of evolution and continues to be updated," Craig told the Agi news agency.
Fleming was not known for his liberal views and his books were laced with the racial prejudices of his era.
"I think he'd probably turn in his grave," at the thought of a black Bond, said Craig, who as the first 'blond Bond' came in for his fair share of criticism from traditionalist fans.
It is not the first time the idea of a black Bond has been mooted. Black British actor Colin Salmon, who played M's smooth chief of staff in the three Pierce Brosnan Bond films, was tipped to take over the role before it went to Craig.
Craig, who is in Rome with his co-star, Ukrainian actress Olga Kurylenko, said he was delighted with the Democrats' victory.
"I've always been a fan of Obama. The political ideas that have emerged from his speeches seem to me to be genuine." Last month he said that he thought Mr Obama would make a better Bond than the Republican contender for the presidency, John McCain.
"Obama would be the better Bond, because, if he's true to his word, he'd be willing to quite literally look the enemy in the eye and go toe-to-toe with them," he told American magazine Parade.
McCain, on the other hand, would make a good 'M'. "McCain, because of his long service and experience, would probably be a better M. There is, come to think of it, a kind of Judi Dench quality to McCain."Several sections of Quantum of Solace, the 22nd Bond movie, were shot in Italy, including a chase across the rooftops and through the narrow cobbled streets of the medieval Tuscan town of Siena.
In another sequence, Bond drives at high speed around Lake Garda in an Aston Martin – a part of the filming that left two stuntmen seriously injured.
