The deep thinkers at Indymedia have come to the conclusion that the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy paints a "racist stereotypical tapestry" that does a disservice to young viewers everywhere.
Lloyd Hart says people of color are all associated with the Dark Lord Sauron in the movie and the elephant-riding mercenaries too closely resemble the cultures of Africa, Persia and East Asia. The Uruk-hai also too closely resemble Native Americans, which is sure to cause "a great deal of cultural and racial alienation."
The fact that King Theoden, a white guy, calls his troops the "great warriors of the West" clinches it in Hart’s eyes.
"Can you imagine how people of skin color, of Persian, Arab and East Asian ethnic background feel when they come out of these films where all the heroes are white and all the 'evil doers' are of dark skin," Hart writes.

They should have had a token black guy in the films. I`m sure we could have worked Shaft into the storyline if we tried hard enough.
Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.

Saruman was white! God, why are we white people always depicted as evil masterminds controlled by a greater, faceless, power of ultimate corruption. Its not fair I tell you. | |

if you think smoking pot makes you cool, it really doesn't. hacking huge chunks of your lung up is never cool. smoking anything is never cool. it's just what you are thou, so why not be it. | |
