[QUOTE]Originally posted by Willing Thinker: [QB] more great points by rasol [QUOTE]Originally posted by rasol: I wish that were true. Unfortunately the relationships are subliminal and devastating. How many images of Africa have been shaped by Tarzan? How many Black American Baptist churches worship the blonde, blue eyed image of Jesus? How many so called Africanist continue the racial discourse rooted in the assumptive purity of the white race of Europe, and the assumed miscgenation of Africans and East Asians visa the European 'standard'? This fantasy/ideology is reflected in the Sudan genocide....the Rwanda genocide, and the more self defeating discourses of so called Afro-centrism. Hamites are as much a of myth has Hobbits. The Middle East is as much of a false construct as Middle Earth. [/QUOTE] [QUOTE][b]The point about the return of the King - Aragon - is that he represents the purity of bloodline that has become deginerate over time. It has nothing to do with Christianity, it has to do with racial purity. Thus the resolution is to *mate* Aragon with the Elf [Arwin] [Elves in Tolkiens story are even purer and 'whiter' than 'men'] and so produce pure children. This is completely unlike the Jesus myth. Jesus must die to redeem human sins, and thus eschew earthly existence as a man. In contrast Aragon must take a wife, breed and restore racial purity defiled by denizens of Mordor [btw - mordor means: the Black Lands]. It is the same root as "moors". Aryans vs. Moors. It's not even veiled. Frankly the Aragon myth has less to do with Jesus, than with the NAZi's. Lord of the Rings was written between the late 1930's and 1940's. ... Modor is stated by Tolkien to be East and South [Arabia and Africa] - ie the Moors. The Kingdom of Aragon is the West. It's and interesting point of irony to note that in the Christian story, Christ is from the South and East, the evil in Christianity is represented by the Roman empire, ie - the West. LOTR could never work as a Christ Story. Aragon is much more Ceaser than Jesus.[/b][/QUOTE]God speed [/QB][/QUOTE]
