i stumbled upon this today and was fascinated by how ignorant this country can be at times.

To be fair it was that way nearly everywhere at that time.

Great read, but there was an awful lot of typos in there and I usually don't notice such things.

edit: I didn't know Ford's racism wasn't common knowledge, he was quite the little facist bitch.

i suppose it was common knowledge for most, but i (somebody with a scant knowledge of american business history) had no idea.

Charles Lindbergh and Ford were the great luminaries of pro-fascist American sentiment. The country was wierd then and it's wierd now.

My parents (not jewish) chose not to buy a house in 1975 because it had a covenant agreement to exclude Jews. The agreement wasn't enforced by that time, but it was still in the deed or whatever.
