So what?  

I can find dozens of kooky right wing articles that claim Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter promote Satanic witchcraft.

Tolkien was on the Western Front during WW1 if I'm not mistaken.  In the trenches.  The bleak picture he drew of the dark world and those that inhabit it may have come from there.  Not the racism arguement of the late 20th century.

I think it is a little bit of a stretch and a little too convient to have the story spun into a debate of the late 20th century.

writer is a moron

this racism crap (where they try to figure out exactly how everything could be racist) is getting to be more retarded than political correctness...lets find him and put a 20mm hispano through his head

I have it on good authority that all white people are indeed racists, apparently it's because of their race..

Did Cabby do another drive-by without sticking around to support his opinion of the article? Sheesh!

Not too often, but once there was a priest, a rabbi, and a minister playing golf.  They walked up the fourth fairway, after each had hit into the lake....

Yeah, he's part elf.  When you see him in the movie he's supposed to be about 60 years old.  Pretty well kept, eh?

Me thinks this is Thrawn's new geek bait.

Misquoting LOTR will always raise the shackles of the true believers.

BTW Aragorn is not Elvish at all, but his chick is 3/4 elf. His great age is due to his unmixed Arian... er Dunadin blood.

Wait if Darth Vaders black (the blackest brother in the galaxy..Nubian god) and stormtroopers are white.........?????!?!?!?

Now I'm just confused...when I see  Towers, I'll just have wait till Gríma Wormtongue says: Kill Whitey!

Great movies, even better books. Too bad these aformentioned handsomehunkes pens move faster than thier intellectually stunted brains.
Tolkien has generated one of the freshest intuitave and creative worlds the literary world has ever seen. I look at those who would tear it down as simply consumed by envy as they lack the creative skills to do the same, as well as just simple trolls looking for a moment in the spotlight as the cannot get there by their own merits.
fediddle 'em.

Are you kidding me?

Interestingly though, Boromir is a Slavic name.

And names like Nazgul, Uruk-Hai, Barad-dur sound plain Turkish.

Slavic nations were the first to fight against Turks, since they were more to the East than others.

It probably means little, but Turks were known to take away young boys from occupied countries and train them for their army.
