One has been dead for about 75 years and has little influence over the day-to-day operations of their respective company. One is still running loose and still acting like a jackass.

Well he has also been dead for 75 years, so people are less concerned with his personal beliefs and actions.

Bill Burr speaks about this in his latest special, that Coco Chanel slept with nazi officers during WW2, and that she did what she felt she had to survive.

He also goes on to talk about John Wayne and Sean Connery in equally deliteful manner.

Henry Ford II emphatically and substantively separated the company from his grandfather's lunacy.

I think most people don't care about (whether out of time-induced apathy or unfortunate agreement) who Ford was much like how they don't care much about who founded VW or why. Coming from Detroit, it was always frustrating how whitewashed his history got.

Henry Ford was a jerk, but he died decades before most of us here were even born. Buying a Ford today does nothing to further facilitate the gross things he did 90 years ago.

The elongated muskrat is out there today being an ass; spreading misinformation during a pandemic, perpetuating racist behavior in its factories, and a growing list of sexual improprieties. I think it is fair for someone to not want to give money to someone like that.

Henry Ford is dead.

Says that in the article I linked you to.

Yeah, but whoever's running the show for the past... 75 years, isn't antisemitic. His successors probably didn't align with such views, given that: 1. They're not the same person 2. Post WWII wouldn't be kind to those types
