Maybe it is just a “coincidence” that Sean Connery died on Halloween of this year and then a few days later it is confirmed that Black actress Lashana Lynch will be playing the part of 007 in the Bond film No Time to Die.
Back in 1971, Connery’s Bond was used to push the idea that race-mixing is sexy in Diamonds Are Forever, by introducing the first Black Bond(age) girl, which shows how this franchise is not afraid to get “progressive.”
While the success of Black Panther shows how tapping into the “woke” consciousness can lead to a big box office, I highly doubt that this new Bond movie will be received well.
From Indiewire:
News leaked this past April that Lashana Lynch’s role in the James Bond tentpole “No Time to Die” would be that of the new 007, making her the first Black woman to take on Bond’s famous digits. “No Time to Die” picks up with Daniel Craig’s eponymous secret agent living in exile in Jamaica, and in his absence Lynch’s Nomi assumes the 007 moniker. Lynch isn’t the new Bond per se, but in taking over the 007 mantle she became a target of toxic Bond fans and internet trolls upset that a Black woman could fill in as 007.
Lynch says that she is taking the “abuse” in stride and realizes that it is not personal.
I am one Black woman — if it were another Black woman cast in the role, it would have been the same conversation, she would have got the same attacks, the same abuse,” Lynch said. “I just have to remind myself that the conversation is happening and that I’m a part of something that will be very, very revolutionary.”
Very, very revolutionary? Hmm. You don’t say!
Lashana really wants to connect with the Black audience members in an “authentic” way.
I searched for at least one moment in the script where Black audience members would nod their heads, tutting at the reality but glad to see their real life represented. In every project I am part of, no matter the budget or genre, the Black experience that I’m presenting needs to be 100 percent authentic.”
This is all part of the genocidal agenda to replace every historical and fictional White character with non-Whites.
