Talk:Henry Ford
From Conservapedia
Was Henry Ford really an anti-Semite? sounds dubious. Flippin 12:23, 7 May 2007 (EDT)
- Ford was very much an anti-Semite. He used his newspaper, the Dearborn Independent, to publish a series of articles together known as "The International Jew", where he argued there was a Jewish conspiracy to take over the world. He did later go on to apologize for it, though.--Steve 13:10, 7 May 2007 (EDT)
- Actually, the title was "The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem."
- And the apology sparked a comic popular song of the 1920s, "Since Henry Ford Apologized to Me," in which a pair of Yiddish-accented comics exchange quips about being so thrilled they're going to trade their Chevrolet for a Ford, etc. I don't have the lyrics here, but it's on a CD collection entitled From Avenue A to the Great White Way, just in case you find it hard to believe...

Henry Ford anti-semitism
Calling Henry Ford an anti-semite insinuates that he advocated depriving Jews of their civil rights. Ford was very critical of Jews but was very careful to inform people not to harm Jews. Ford never supported the Nazis or any group that called for violence against Jews. This Henry Ford article needs a lot of work.
