Universal Actress Lashana Lynch says that reactions to her being cast as an MI6 in the next James Bond film No Time to Die was “really mean,” “dark,” sexist, and reminiscent of segregation.
“The response was generally positive, but there were some very personal messages to me, like Insta DMs and Twitter,” Lynch told The Guardian in a recent interview. “And just conversations that my friends had heard or overheard on the [London subway] that were really mean, dark and reminiscent of an age I wasn’t even born in, where women and black people weren’t allowed to move in certain spaces.”
“So it also reminded me about the work that I still have to do to try to change the world in a little way that I know how,” said, who is of Jamaican descent and was born in Hammersmith, London.

“I wasn’t surprised at the response from the football, which is really sad for me to have to say,” Lynch said. “If you are a black person in entertainment or a black person in sport, and you ‘fail,’ you are reminded that you cannot do both.”
“You cannot be black and entertain and fail,” the Captain Marvel star added. “You have to be Black and entertain and win it for the country and win it for the world and win it for history.”
Therefore, as “a black woman,” Lynch says she feels a responsibility to get it right as she joins the Bond franchise. “I didn’t want to mess it up,” she said.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
