I'm from Michigan where Henry Ford is basically a hero. I just found out that Henry Ford did everything he could to rid the world of Jews. He supported Hitler and even received a medal from Hitler for his "work". He published a four-volume anti-Semetic work titled: "THE INTERNATIONAL JEW, THE WORLD'S FOREMOST PROBLEM".
I just can't believe it! I am absolutley disgusted!
I'm so glad I've never driven a Ford in my life.
Does anyone feel the same?

Oh yes, Henry Ford was a virulent antisemite. Everything you heard is true, but don't blame Ford cars. They had nothing to do with it. No machine is intrinsically evil. Only people can pull that one off. As I said, Henry Ford was quite famous for his antisemitism. I recall a joke my grandfather once told me about how the Cohen brothers invented an automobile air-conditioner in the 1930's and went to Henry Ford, then the largest carmaker in the world, to market it. Trouble was, the Cohen brothers wanted their name on the unit, and Ford, being a rabid antisemite wasn't about to have a Jewish name on his cars. So they negotiated and finally reached a compromise. To this day, every air-conditioner in every Ford vehicle carries the names of the three Cohen brothers, Norm, Hi, and Max!

He kept a picture of Hitler on his desk, but at least he wasn't as bad as Porsche.
Porsche created Volkswagon to be the official Nazi car and their profits helped fuel the German economy. They used most of the money on weapons and concentration camps.
I"m not sure about Crystler, Merdeces and BMW. I think they just minded their own businesses at the time and kept making cars. Not sure though.
I won't even go into detail about the Japanese car companies that built planes to kill Americans at Pearl Harbour.
Buy Chevy!

A lot of famous people in the past were anti-(place ethnic/religious/racial group here). It just never makes it out there because they pretended to like said ethnic/racial/religious group to make money off of them or their relatives have been able to keep out out of text books etc. using money and lawyers. Now with the internet things are starting to leak out. Plus American cars now suck anyway - very low quality vehicles perhaps from lowered manufacturing standards over the years.

Henry Ford is dead. To punish the Ford Motor Company for the actions of its dead founder does not make sense. He's dead, it does not hurt him, it hurts people that work and invest in the Ford Motor Company

Ford replaced into significant because of the fact he in reality created the fashionable assembly line. with out that ought to might have not have been given any modern-day mass production. His organisation provided larger paying jobs to widespread numbers of persons. He in fact revolutionized modern-day industry.

Before you crucify Henry Ford, did you know that Jews are the most prejudiced group on earth? Most Jews, especially the fundamentalists, would have nothing whatsoever (besides expected servitude) to do with non-Jews. I was even shocked to hear one Jewish rabbi in Houston, Texas, refer to non-Jews as gentiles during a radio interview in 2004, during the Jewish passover. When asked if he would have his friends and neighbors to his feast, he replied, "No! This is just for us Jews, we cannot have gentiles in our feast."
And by the way, to be truthful is not criminal. The Jews or Israel is a major problem to the world. Until we have moved them, say to Antartica, Israel will continue to be a problem, and of course, a target for revenge. Although I do not support any form of genocide, Adolf Hitler, like Palestine or Lebanon or Iran, was simply defending and protecting his nation from immigrant Israelis (who habitually would not consider themselves immigrants in the land of others).
