I meant isolated as in unconnected. Each incidence largely says has its own reasons and circumstances. There aren't really any consistent connective threads tying racist incidents together. Not even the old stand-bys that if you're a redneck or from the South then you have to a Dixie rebel that wants to lynch coloureds.

Actually, the comment was not based on my own opinion. It was in an article I read (hence the comment about I am not sure how true it is). I never said (nor did I imply) that Hollywood had a problem with Black people. Look at the amount of black people that are successful actors. I said they had a problem with James Bond (a quitessential Englishman) being black. Different thing entirely.

I know the comment wasn't yours. I merely said there is no logic nor reason that Americans would reject a black James Bond, regardless of your source.
I sense a bit of animostiy in your post. Whatever caused it, it wasn't intentional. I wasn't attacking you, but just saying/proviing that a lot of stereotypical comments that get punted around here, regardless of source, are incorrect.
