Every once in awhile, I think of my favorite “…the fuck did you just say?” phraseology, which is from Homer’s Iliad, proving we have never, ever changed as a species, only less fancily inclined.

“What nonsense has escaped the barrier of your teeth now?”

Dear Tolkien Fans: Black People Exist - The Public Medievalist

Tolkien fan communities can be hostile places for Black fans. Just because Tolkien's work has white supremacy embedded in it does not mean that fans should embrace or replicate it.
