So.. like.. Hitler sorta screwed up in the "to genocide, or not to genocide; that is the question" department, but over all, he's a pretty OK guy.

Ironically enough, once of my coworkers (who I can't stand) is extremely anti-semitic and refers to Ford cars as "Jew cars" and "Jewish pieces of crap." I laugh every time he says it. Of course, every third sentence out of his mouth starts with "Fucking Jews ..." so I'm used to hearing it and just ignore him now.

Hmm, I wasn't aware of most of the stuff that's been discussed here but I did know Ford was anti-Semitic. I didn't know much about those other guys being racist either, except I've been told that Edison went on camping trips with Ford where they had black people serving them and they weren't exactly friendly with their help.

You can't just say that Ford Motors is different now because it's run by a different Ford. Depending on the family, hate can be passed down through generations. I'm not saying the company is anti-Semitic now, I'm just saying that there's no more reason to believe they have changed than there is to believe they are the same.. We don't know the Ford family, maybe they bring groceries to old disabled Jewish ladies or maybe they sit at the dinner table complaining that Jews are the problem with America..

Personally, I don't like Ford cars because I think they're crappy. Because of things like the Pinto, and the rollovers and tire blowouts a few years ago. You can't let dozens of crashes/disasters happen and not issue a recall or warning. Unless, of course, you're willing to have safety regulations so loose that it costs lives because you're only in business to make money.

No, nobody's perfect. Lots of people make a bad decision once in a while and cheat on a test, shoplift some gum, or start a fight. There's quite a big difference between stealing gum and armed robbery, and the same between hitting somebody and going on a killing spree. And if you read a little bit of this thread and some of the links people have posted, you'll see that Ford didn't just make a few racist comments, he published books about how bad he thought Jews were, and, according to evidence collected by the US military etc., helped Nazis a great deal. He didn't make small mistakes, he conciously made efforts to cause bad things to happen to Jews.

Well, that's the farce with history... who DOES know German history better? It's taught to Americans one way, Germans another. Probably taught even differently to Italians, Brits, Japanese... History has a funny way of being different to different people. Simply being in the same country does not nessecarily give one a better perspective. I'm not saying Americans know German history better... just saying one can never tell for sure.
