Wow, I must have really irked you guys for you to take what I said out of context, post a similar click-bait type of post about it and to paint me as a clandestine enemy (SJW) without knowing anything about me.
This is what's stupid about the post you linked:
Please circle Africa for me.
Please explain how the black man in that shitty post can be African if there is no Africa?
In regards to J.R.R. Tolkien's personal feelings about Africans and Africa: Please read the Tolkien letters in which he clearly states his sadness at the maltreatment of the "coloured" people and his strong ties to South Africa. In one of said letters he wrote to his son Christopher, who was sent to South Africa by the British for Flight Training:
He was referring to the people Christopher was surrounded by daily as "Lesser Servants of Mordor". That's a clear enough attempt by J.R.R. Tolkien to demonize the British Empire in Africa.
So please, tell me more bs about how you're not racist and only proud of your race. (added for clarification: Because if that's what you're trying to do; you picked the worst way to do it with that post.)
Furthermore:
Edit: clarifying post to reduce misunderstanding.

My opinion is clearly stated in this:
and this (from yet another post):
I don't like all that pandering bs going on with the Female GhostBusters, Black Annie or any other such "re-imagining" but this is not black Aragon that we're talking about here. It's an addition to an already vast and diverse lore that can very easily account for such complexity; if the writer wants to go down that path.
