Can you let me know what these are without getting into trouble?

[willgetsome]

I dismiss the whole argument as an act of "attention getting" by race hustlers on the Left. Their complaints are not worthy of my attention.

Excerpt--"Can anyone recall one white male author before the present literary era -- other than perhaps the far-seeing Mark Twain in "Huckleberry Finn" -- who, when the two sides came into conflict, depicted men of color sympathetically and Caucasian men as evil?"

You see that's what's required, depicting whites as evil and non whites as sympathetic is totally fine, and laudible, BUT the other way around it's racism!

Where is Jar Jar Jackson on this issue?!?! He'll be there, I promise.

LOTR is not The Flintstones. LOTR is ethnic folklore adapted from various northern European traditions.

I'm glad I don't see racism behind every sentence. I've loved these books for 30 years. But it looks like imagined racism ruins the story for a lot of people.

I saw "Antwone Fisher" yesterday, written by one black man (Antwone Fisher???) and produced and directed by another, Denzel Washington. It is an excellent movie, and one that could provide a desperately needed role model for young black males.

But I am sure it will be dissed as a racist, Uncle Tom movie by the media's pet poverty pimps and racial entrepreneurs.

Lets see we have got Dwarves,men,elves,hobbits,ents all fighting against evil that is portrayed by

Orks , Fighting Huruki [mix of a goblin and elf tortured to be made evil] ,Goblins ,gollum ,cave trolls not to mention other races of men who choose the way of suaran the evil one

Hmmmmmm does that mean that fighting against anything evil in their eyes is being racist because evil has the right to be ?....well ....evil!

Truth cannot live on a diet of secrets, withering within entangled lies. Freedom cannot live on a diet of lies, surrendering to the veil of oppression. The human spirit cannot live on a diet of oppression, becoming subservient in the end to the will of evil. God, as truth incarnate, will not long let stand a world devoted to such evil. Therefore, let us have the truth and freedom our spirits require... or let us die seeking these things, for without them, we shall surely and justly perish in an evil world.

I'm not a white supremicist, but all these non-whites and pansy liberals are trying to back me into a corner. It's getting real old and I'm starting to get fed up.

Here's some text on Tolkien's attitude to the Third Reich and the jews - the original is at http://www.jewsweek.com/aande/104.htm :

'The best response comes from Tolkien himself. After Hitler came to power, but prior to World War II, the German government officially requested, through Tolkien’s publisher, that he establish his racial purity so they could authorize a translation of The Hobbit (the prequel of "The Lord of the Rings").

'The Oxford don, struggling financially to support his family, could have used the income from Third Reich sales. Instead, though Tolkien is a Germanic name, he took the opportunity to remind the Nazis of the ludicrous pretension of racial purity.

'"Thank you for your letter.... I regret that I am not clear as to what you intend," he wrote. "I am not of Aryan extraction: that is Indo-Iranian; as far as I am aware none of my ancestors spoke Hindustani, Persian, Gypsy or any related dialects. But if I am to understand that you are inquiring whether I am of Jewish origin, I can only reply that I regret that I appear to have no ancestors of that gifted people...."

There's no sword-on-sword, one-on-one combat. It all seems antiseptic, like a smart bomb on TV blasting a bunker without the splatter of blood and flesh.

Oh, please. Grow up.

To the people who spend their nights agonizing over whether Tolkien is racist or not:

Get a life.

Kleagle Sheets Byrd alert

For years, Tolkien scholars have waged a fight on two fronts: against an academic establishment that for the most part refused to take the author's work seriously, and against white supremacists who have tried to claim the professor as one of their own.

The first controversy may be decided in Tolkien's favor once the present generation of literary critics passes from the scene (I admit some bias in this regard), but the second probably always will flare up whenever some skinheads read more into the "Rings" than really is there.

...Perhaps a more accurate statement would have been that the forces of evil have assembled an army "to destroy the world of civilized white men." Of course, Aragorn -- and the director Jackson -- cannot say this.

THat is so true. I just graduated college. At my school blacks said western culture is "racist", they said they had to have a "cultural center" or it was "racism", had to have separate dorms from whites or it was "racism"

Yet this is a school that lets blacks in over whites who had a .5 GPA higher and 100 point better SAT scores--but that's not racism. Of course not.

Ring Ping!!

Here we go again.

[expatpat]

....parts of the text some condemned as racially insensitive.

What's this term 'racially insensitive' mean? It sounds like pure meaningless cr*p to me. Why the h*ll do we have to be so damn sensitive -- the Mooslims and blacks certainly aren't too sensitive about Christians, Jews, Hindus, and whites.

Friend of mine said Tolkien was an anti-technology, car hating greenie..

[doosee]

While viewing the movie, I noticed a group of 4 black people leaving at about the middle of the movie. They either couldnt stand the movie or something but they were the only ones who left.

The real racism is from those who won't let others have heroic myths. This phenom stems from the "Mother of all" inferiority complexes that has become just plain common hatred, and on the way abandoned all pretense of reason. The fools who write such non-sense would also object to resistance to such tolerant diverse activities such as the Hun, Mongol and Muslim invasions of Europe. When one scratches the surface of race hustlers such as the vermin who critique Tolkien you find bitter failures who only wish their prefered group success instead of the "evil white devils."

I don't think we need to look to LOTRs to shape our view of our own enemies.

But speaking of LOTR, I was disappointed to see some environmental cultish stuff added in.
