You might find it funny that the Ford Foundation is a major contributor of Black Lives Matter.
But when you learn that company founder Henry Ford had a 'personal friendship' with Adolf Hitler it's not really funny at all.
Henry Ford was a notorious anti-Semite. His pamphlet, 'The International Jew, a Worldwide Problem,' was published in Germany in 1921, and was greatly admired by Hitler. Ford gave Hitler annual birthday gifts of 50,000 marks and on Ford's 75th birthday in 1938, Hitler awarded him the 'Great Cross of the German Order of the Eagle'; and the Ford Motor Company was accorded 'uniquely favorable treatment' by the Nazis.
Henry Ford and his son Edsel Ford, are the Founders of the Ford Foundation. They and other high-ranking officials of Ford Motor Company, served as Directors of Ford Motor Company’s German subsidiary, Ford Werke A.G. throughout World War 2, which used slave labor.
Ford Werke was the successful bidder for thousands of French, Russian, Ukranian, Italian and Belgian civilians forcibly deported to Germany to work as forced/slave labor beginning in 1941. Ford Werke's Cologne factory, which had had made passenger vehicles before the war, made about 60 percent of the German military's three-ton tracked vehicles during the war.
Ford generated enormous profits which the Nazi government promised to safeguard and deposited them in German banks for delivery to Ford Motor Company in the US at the close of the war.
Survivors of these slave labor factories sued Ford Motor Co. asking to be paid for their work during World War II, and for disgorgement of all economic benefits accrued by Ford and its German subsidiary, Ford Werke A.G. The Survivors also sought punitive damages for "inhuman conditions inflicted upon them. One Survivor was taken in October 1942 to Wuppertal, Germany, "where she was literally purchased, along with 38 other children from Rostock, by a representative of Ford Werke A.G." They were placed "in a wooden hut, without heat, running water, or sewage facilities, and slept in three-tiered wooden bunks without bedding and were locked in at night. Food consisted of two inadequate meals a day." Forced laborers who failed to meet production quotas were punished and were beaten with rubber truncheons, and attempts to escape were met by execution or transfer to Buchenwald, the infamous Nazi concentration camp.
Not so funny now is it? Anyone cancelling their order for a new Ford F-150?

That’s why nobody in my family ever bought a Ford, or ever will.
And your point is well-taken: this explains why Ford has no problem donating money to an antisemitic organization like BLM, but how do you explain all the other corporations kissing up to them? Not only are they antisemitic, but they are anti-white, violent, and encouraging lawlessness.
So you do believe in and participate in “cancel culture”?
That’s not the definition of cancel culture. On an individual basis, people are free to purchase from companies that align with their values when presented with various options. (For example, when I learned people were boycotting Ester Lauder because they support Israel, I switched my skin care purchases over to them.) But I do not participate in any attempt to have Ford boycotted, in general, to drive them out of business.

Corporate America is scared of BLM, Muslims, Media, Social Media and anything in which any of those entities could label them "Racist". They are cowards. So, in this day of Woke Culture it is OK to be anti Semitic.
Jews are now part of the Oppressor Class, no longer the oppressed. To be exempt from criticism, blame and Punishment, you must be Black, LGBT, Muslim, Illegal Alien, Radical Feminist Women, etc.
