Post subject: Concerning Beren
Archived from groups: rec>arts>books>tolkien (more info?)
I was reading the chapter on Beren and Luthien last night (great
chapter, btw!) and was struck during the scene where Beren makes his
famous leap, in the confrontation with Celegorm and Curufin. It got
me thinking... there is a wise axiom which says "White men can't
jump", and so logically we are forced to conclude Beren was a nigger.
This realization makes a lot of things more clear! It certainly
explains why Thingol hated Beren with such a fervent passion. I would
too-- he was a no good cottonpicking shoepolisher! It also explains
how he was able to sneak around so well in Angband, since black people
do very closely resemble orcs. I guess this means Curufin isn't just
guilty of attempted murder, but of attempted murder as a HATE CRIME.
Boy is he going to rot in Mandos!

A) Please don't feed the trolls.

B) If you simply can't resist feeding them, at least snip their posts so
the rest of us don't have to read them.

C) The killfile is you friend. Smile
