        I heard in a Citations Needed episode that he funded schools so they would teach country music and tap dancing to children to suppress the cultural permeation of jazz music and some other non-white genre.

          Exactly. He despised jazz and black Americans. That cultural permeation of tap dancing still remains to this day in fact.

          I thought he hated country to? I was under the impression he funded squaredancing since country music was to socialists, which successfully undermined that cultural movement.

            I don’t have a primary source but:

            In order to bring his dream to life, Ford poured tons of money into square dancing and country music in general.

              There’s quite a bit more about his Nazi ties in this article by Losurdo.

        Kind of a chicken and the egg thing, since his anti-Semitic book The International Jew influenced the Nazis.

          Nazism and it’s tenants have existed for a long time, the Nazis just gave the concentrated ideology a name.
