Excluding Yaphet Kotto's role in Live and Let Die why is their not more Bond type black villains with world domination aspirations?
What if in real life some brotha on a real big ego trip hatched a plan to make the gold in Fort Knox radioactive?
What about a brotha on a submarine city trying to start a nuclear war or setting up a space station on the moon while releasing poisonous gas in the atmosphere back on earth?
Usually we have the thug, pimp or gangster type taking over the streets or the evil dictator warlord in some remote part of Africa and sometimes the pro-black revolutionary gone rogue "kill da white man" villains.
Just once in this Obama era of change I would like to see some diabolical brotha go beyond the traditional mundane and hold the United Nations hostage with some kind of Dr. Evil "Death Star" while asking for 100 million billion gazillion dollars and stroking a leprous kitty.
Been there done that: Drive by shoot outs, street corner drug deals, running prison cell blocks, liquor store holdups, bank robberies, pimping, numbers running, machete hackings in the jungle, pirates, visionless dictators, etc. etc.
New World Goals: Build underwater fortress while flooding the earth, make a spaceship with War of The Worlds vaporizing capability, build massive hacking computer that controls all other electronic devices, have a pheromone that makes all the women on earth love only you (classic), construct a skyscraper that emits ground wave earthquakes destroying all the surrounding buildings while leaving it standing alone and then...
Thug: "Hey fool! Give up that watch, your wallet and that fancy cell phone for I get to blasting!"
Flex: "Is that a pistol you're holding?"
Thug: "You blind or something?"
Flex: "So that is not some laser gun with a special ray that vaporizes its target?"
Thug: "Is you crazy? N!&&@ this aint no comic book or some dayum movie!"
Flex: "Let me get this straight. You would risk sharing showers with strangers in prison or your very life for these minor things?"
Thug: "WHAT!"
Flex: "All I'm saying is you have a very big lack in vision. You have the guts to do something it's just that that something is so beneath you."
Thug: "You about to be 6 feet beneath if you don't give that stuff up!"
Flex: "INDEED!"
(Flex pulls out light saber, force chokes thug and chops trigger finger off at the knuckle with one swift blow)
A Black Bond Villain?
