I do not care if one is jewish, Catholic, French or American or whatever! What I do care is the quality of an individual.
My father did almost lost his life in fighting the Nazis and ruin his life at doing it. That and a lot more. That would certainly explain my sensivity on this theme.
Have you ever saw the KZ? have you ever visit the Auschwitz and consort? I did! Have you ever look in the eyes of the beast directly in the eyes? Have you ever stand in front of the hairs & shoes & glasses of this poor people? Did you stand in the gaz chambers with your own body? Have you seen the marks left on the walls from theirs finger nails? I did.
So everything that come nears from racism, I fight. And how.
But the point is, you will certainly concord with me on this, was Tolkien a racist, did he believe at the " super race " That is what I am going to try to find out. Until now I have only light suspicions, but I do not want to be injust, and will go seriously after this matter now that it has escalated this way.
Well actually if you want my opinion, I think that YOU did overact! I just said that I did not like this film and that I did feel that they may be some trace on racism in it.
That is all I said, and it was more a question than a definitive view, what still is.
The only thing hat did change now is my iron will to find out. Much noise for nothing maybe but life can be also made of this.
We will see.
