This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

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.

Damn now I know why that stupid fucking dance has such a large cultural cachet

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.
