It wouldn't bother me in the slightest if they had a black actor playing James Bond, because each film is set in a contemporary setting, in the time at which the film was made, so 'Dr No' was set in 1962 even though it is 'based on the Ian Fleming character which was from the 1940s and early 50s
So I am sure that black spies work for MI5 and MI6 so a James Bond being black is fine, however if a James Bond film was made which was set in the 1940s a black actor playing the part would in my opinion be wrong, because it would be unlikely that a black man with a public school background, could have become a suave sophisticated spy.
