If anything, the moral is that these 'white guys' (Nazgul) corrupted all the other races, which is how the orcs were made..they were corrupeted from elves a long time before.
Good point, Ironhorse. The idiot who started this thread is laughable. This is easily the best trilogy ever made and ROTK is one of the best movies of all time.........there is so much in the series it really boggles the mind.......there will always be mental midgets like this thread starter around to nitpick. Tolkien's works were about the human condition, not the racial condition.

Its why people will keep reading the books for several hundreds more years, and why LOTR series of books were voted the books of the century in Britain..........people could choose from any 20th century titles they wanted, and LOTR alone garnered over 40% of the vote in TOTALITY. That is amazing. People will read Tolkien for many more years and in five minutes, we will forget about the mentally challenged twit who started this thread.

Adios.
