“Nope, I strong disagree.”
Should be: Nope, I strongly disagree.
I also recommend that one reads the book, Red Star Over Hollywood: The Film Colony’s Long Romance With The Left, by Ronald and Allis Radosh. On page 213 we find the following:
“In what may be the first example of ‘political correctness’ run amok, the (Communist) Party expelled or brought to trial members whose only sin was using words like ‘whitewash’ or ‘black sheep,’ both of which were offered as proof of racism.”
In many respects, these incidents which occurred between 1949 and 1953 were laughably hilarious. People inevitably were charged with racism on the flimsiest evidence. The situation has only gotten worse since that time.
