Have you read the books? Have you seen the situations Bond got himself into? No way would a black man be able to melt into the background like a white man could in certain situations. It has to at least be believable.
And as much as I love Idris, and think he's wonderful as Luthur (Who could equally have been played by a black or a white actor) I think he would be an awful Bond. If a black Bond was inevitable I'd rather Colin Salmon who is much more Bond-esque, in my opinion.

Bond is a fantasy though, it's probably unlikely that anyone could get into most of the situations that he gets into. And the films being produced now aren't based on the original books, they're new stories so I don't see how the situations he's in (in the books) would be relevant.
If an invisible car is believable then a black Bond certainly is
