Was Lord of the Rings racist?

The are some racist undertones when Gandalf comes back as Gandalf the White. Implying that his whiteness is superior to grey. Post your own racialism in movies.

Yes it was. The orcs were systematically killed because of racism , their off spring should get reparations.

And don’t get me started on Gandolf. I’m surprised he didn’t come back with a white hooded cloak.

Good point. The orcs fought for a better life for themselves but in the end got destroyed by elf supremacists. How do we go about getting Peter Jackson cancelled?

For the rest of my life it would have never occurred to me about Gandolf coming back in white as possibly racist.



This just goes to show you the level of mental gymnastics that perpetual victims go through to feel falsely oppressed.

No and yes. The author didn't care about race but was a monarchist. Someone ruling you because of birth (monarchy) isn't that far off from judging individuals by birth (racism).

It's a psyop perpetuated by white supremacists. You are only meant to realize it on a subconscious level. Gandalf the Grey is an inferior wizard, prone to smoking the pipe and setting off fireworks. Gandalf the White however is presented as a god-like figure who uses his beam of whiteness on those less privileged.

Chuckies dad was the only one in the show who wasn’t racist. He married an Asian.

Actually they did have one black friend. Susie Carmichael

Survival. When the jungle tears itself down and builds itself into something new. Guys like you and me, we end up dead. Doesn’t really mean anything. Or, if we happen to live through it, well that doesn’t mean anything either.

Go make 2 accounts on twitter and say white people run Wall Street on one account. Then say Jewish people run Wall Street on the other account and see which one gets banned. To some people there isn't a difference but to the people who control speech in the public sphere there appears to be a significant difference. For the truth of the matter there are both white and Jewish people who run various Wall Street investment firms so neither tweet would be factually incorrect

All the heroic characters were white. All the orcs were black.

I remember some of my coworkers at the place I was interning at a while back had a whole conversation about it. The Native American and Mexican were up in arms about how racist it was. Especially the Orks with the hand print on their faces which is symbolic of Native Americans.

Batman is racist because he’s black
-Some people say good things come to those who wait, truth is, good things come to those who work..... who work later.....who work harder...... who are willing to go further than anyone else to get them. If you're waiting for good things to come to you, you'll be waiting for a pretty long time.
