TBR HISTORY ARTICLE -  HENRY FORD II: THE MAN WHO WRECKED DETROIT

DETROIT, ONCE THE HEART OF MICHIGAN’S ECONOMY and a regional
competitor to Chicago for the center of Midwestern business, is a
failed city. The “Motor City” has been in steady decline for the
past five decades—decline that is terminating with the bulldozing,
not just of abandoned homes and offices, but also the city streets and
utility infrastructure. Most of the “credit” for this disaster can
be attributed to the grandson of the man who first made the city
great—and his “advisors.”

BY WILLIAM WHITE

As the black proportion of Detroit’s population grew, the city
degenerated into a neo-Africa and reached a tipping point from which
it could not recover. Now it is 82.7% black. Blacks’ suicidal social
ethics and genetic propensity for disease have sent the city’s
overall population spiraling into decline.

But Detroit didn’t have to die—it was driven to death by the
Communist, one-world politics of Henry Ford II, founder of American
“affirmative action.”

HENRY FORD THE FIRST 

Henry Ford (I), the grandfather of the man who destroyed Detroit, was
one of the men who built it into a great city. Born July 30, 1863,
Ford I was 40 when he founded Ford Motor Co.—his third attempt at a
car company, the first, the Detroit Automobile Co., having failed, and
the second, the Henry Ford Co., having forced Ford out. Within 20
years, mostly through the strength of his Model T “Tin Lizzie,”
Ford I became the wealthiest man in America—America’s first
billionaire. But Ford was a complex man, born in a populist milieu,
and naturally drawn toward socialism—though without the political
refinement to discern its national and international variants. Ford I
was also a 33rd-degree Freemason, who often had trouble distinguishing
his friends from foes.

Ford I pioneered workers’ rights in Detroit, implementing an
eight-hour workday, paying five gold dollars a day—twice the average
wage—long before unions had the strength to demand concessions. He
cared about his workers, creating a sociological department which
guided his employees—among other tasks—in paying their debts off,
something Ford I felt was paramount to success. Ford I opposed Wall
Street, New York and war—usually—and felt strongly about the
American farmer. Yet his early politics were naive.

In 1917, Ford I got his first taste of the Jew, in the person of
Rosika Schwimmer, a Communist and con woman who dragged him into a
“Peace Ship” proposal—which introduced Ford to radicalism and
the Jewish nature of Europe’s red undercurrent. That, and the
brutality of Soviet bolshevism, turned Ford against Jewish power—a
stance he maintained publicly, through _The Dearborn Independent_,
until a lawsuit, brought by a Jewish Communist and backed by major
American Jewish groups, shut Ford’s paper down.

Yet Ford _pere _never grasped the Negro question. Brought up in a
nearly all-white environment, Ford knew one Negro in his youth, and
used that relationship as a rose-colored prism through which he viewed
race. Ford ran a segregated shop—at a time when most businesses did
not hire Negroes at all—and used Negroes as thugs against Jewish-led
“labor” organizations. These tactics often backfired—once, Negro
strike breakers all got drunk in the Ford factory and began crashing
the cars—but Ford was committed to a policy of non-discrimination.
His grandson would take this to an extreme.

THE FORD FOUNDATION

Franklin D. Roosevelt implemented a confiscatory inheritance tax that
would have seized over $360 million of Ford’s wealth upon his death.
To combat this, Ford I set up a charitable trust, the Ford Foundation,
and divided his company into two classes of shares—A and B—96% of
which went to this Ford Foundation upon Ford I’s death.

Ford’s son, Edsel (1893-1943), predeceased him, so, upon Henry
Ford’s death, the Ford Foundation came under the control of Henry
Ford II (1917-1987), his grandson. Ford II immediately appointed two
Soviet-backed academics, Paul Hoffman and Robert Hutchins, to the
management of 95% of his father’s assets—assets they immediately
turned over—against the express wishes of Henry Ford I—to Wall
Street and the New York Stock Exchange. The two then used the newfound
wealth to back Soviet initiatives and client organizations in the
Third World.

Amid a storm of protest, Henry Ford II terminated Hoffman and Hutchins
in 1953—but he never denounced their politics, and the Ford
Foundation, despite taking a lower key, remained a subversive
organization, became active with the UN, and continued to finance, if
not a revolutionary agenda, a progressively socialist one.

HENRY FORD II

Henry Ford II was a very different man from his grandfather. Ford I
had been a teetotaler and prohibitionist who married once, stayed
married, even after a medical accident made his wife infertile, and
who pursued a modest and healthy lifestyle. His grandson, Ford II,
though, had hated Ford I, blaming the elder for Ford II’s father
Edsel’s premature death—from stomach cancer, possibly a result of
ulcers made extreme through stress. And Ford II was the opposite of
Ford I—he was a drunkard, a glutton and womanizer who converted to
Catholicism to spite his grandfather and associated with Jews for the
same reason. It was these associations that led the younger Henry Ford
to destroy the city his grandfather built.

DEATH OF DETROIT

Henry Ford I built Detroit through his proper treatment of working
people. By offering higher wages and a shorter day, Ford I attracted
thousands to Detroit who were just hoping to have a job in his
factory. One of the first uses Ford I found for his “Service
Department”—his hired thugs—was to control the crowds that would
riot when 15,000 people from around the United States wanted 5,000
jobs. And Ford I, through his non-discriminatory policies, brought the
Negro to the once peaceful shores of his homeland. Henry II, through
affirmative action, would drive nearly the entire white population out
of that city, leaving it an abandoned ruin today.

Race riots in Detroit began when Ossian Sweet, a Negro, brought his
family and nine or more armed Negro men into his newly purchased house
in a white area of Detroit. Sweet and his thugs provoked a
confrontation and shot a white man who, all admitted, was just sitting
on his porch. And, through political manipulations by the
Soviet-backed American Communist movement, Sweet and his thugs were
acquitted.

The next major riot was in 1943, when a black mob murdered eight white
workers, causing white communities to organize self-defense
committees, which entered black neighborhoods and opened fire on black
crowds, killing 25 and wounding over 1,000 Negro insurgents. In
response, several suburbs, including Dearborn Heights, elected
segregationist mayors and barred blacks from owning property in their
city limits. These suburbs provided a real alternative to Detroit’s
white workers, and a movement out began.

In 1967, another wave of riots began—43 were killed, 347 were shot
or seriously injured, and tanks and troop carriers were deployed in
city streets. Henry II blamed capitalism and the white man.

Shortly after the riots, Ford II promoted Levi Jackson, a Ford
employee, to be America’s first “diversity consultant.” Jackson
blamed Ford—for demanding employees take written tests and not
hiring blacks with criminal records. Further, Jackson believed Ford
should set aside jobs and open recruiting centers that would only be
available to illiterate black men with criminal records. Ford II
agreed. Recruiting centers opened, 7,000 illiterate black criminals
were hired, and the Ford plant, almost overnight, became a center of
drug dealing, drunkenness and assaults. Two thousand eight hundred of
the newly hired blacks didn’t show up for work at all.

But Ford II carried on. As he divorced wives and dumped mistresses,
and his 18-year-old daughter began dating men 30 and 40 years her
senior (seeking a father image), Ford II went into the ghettoes,
meeting with Black Panthers and Soviet-financed revolutionaries. When
Albert Cleage, a local radical pastor, painted the Virgin Mary black
and called his church the “Shrine of the Black Madonna,” Henry
Ford II spent three hours in the man’s basement and came out
spouting black power rhetoric.

The construction of the so-called Renaissance Center was the
culmination of Ford II’s racism. Lured into this $457 million
project by two Jews he had befriended to spite his grandfather’s
memory—Max Fisher and Alfred Taubman—Ford was forced into default
on this last-ditch effort to attract jobs to Detroit’s putrid
ghettoes. In a mere 20 years, 1959-1979, Detroit went from 25% to 75%
black, peaking at 96% black a decade later. In that time, Ford II’s
money and influence destroyed Detroit’s white communities and
wrecked the city his grandpa built.

CONCLUSION

Republicans are fond of saying Detroit is 96% Democrat—as if there
were a difference in the two parties. The truth is that Detroit failed
because white people abandoned it—and whites abandoned it because
their own leading citizens, like Henry Ford II, sided with black and
Jewish Communist radicals rather than their own working class. Why?
Because younger Ford was angry at his grandfather and because he was a
drunkard and glutton who put his own feelings—his personal pleasures
and pains—above the interests of his race.
