These guys sure sound smart in analysing Tolkien into their framework of White Supremacy. After all, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and it happens that the way they behold middle earth and its comings and goings in the third age is not as beautiful as we from the Downs think.
Sadly yet, I wouldn't believe that the letters won't disprove them of their premise about the works. As long they know that JR Tolkien is a Catholic, that's enough for them to say that he's racist.
The books aren't racist. Their (our fellow fans over at Stormfront) concept of race in the books is the concept of evil. The fight between good and evil was never meant to be equated with that of a certain race being inherently evil. Besides, is the ring partial towards any particular race? i think not.
