This just in: Tolkien was Racist.
Someone was bound to blather about this sort of thing eventually. They did it to Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, now it’s Jackson’s turn. I’m just amused it took this long for someone to cry out that all the minions of Sauron are of non-white skin color, excepting Saruman (and arguably Denethor, possibly Wormtongue too).
Anyway, let’s all tell Mr. Lloyd Hart to go take a long walk off a short observation post on a very tall tower. And to do a flip before he pancakes!

what the heck?? LOTR is racist? How twisted is that? Maybe this is one of those people that has nothing better to do than look at every situation and somehow make it a racist situation.
I’m not saying that racism doesn’t still exist……but Lord of the Rings?? seems a bit far-fetched to me….
Of COURSE there’s racism in LotR! Sauron is all about genocide of the HUMAN race (among other nice things like world domination, yada yada
) This flake needs to find something better to do.
Oh wow. I only was able to read to the first line of the second paragraph before cutting off that garbage. Man, I would love to meet this guy in person and humiliate him in front of a large crowd.
HAHAHA!
Looks like blue ribbon literary analysis to me. It’s especially sensitive as well; you can tell when the writer mouths all the right insults against Bush in the second paragraph and he endorses the “rap/hip-hip culture” at the end. Literary analysis at its finest! Hee hee!
