Speaker 1: School of Humans. Oh, welcome to filth on Fridays. Guys,
Speaker 1: pew pew, pew pew. It's a whole new season. Well,
Speaker 1: it's not a new season, it's like a new season metaphorically,
Speaker 1: it's literally the same second season. But whatever, did you
Speaker 1: guys have to square dance in elementary school? I did,
Speaker 1: and it was absolute hell, an absolute horror. The reason
Speaker 1: why was because our music teacher would always sort us
Speaker 1: by size, so whoever you were dancing with was gonna
Speaker 1: be about the same size as you. And when I
Speaker 1: was in elementary school, I was the tallest gal. And
Speaker 1: not only that, I was a little pudgche punch pudge Okay.
Speaker 1: I also wore these really ugly bucket hats and I
Speaker 1: would wear three watches at a time. And because I
Speaker 1: was this big, massive girl, I'd always get paired with
Speaker 1: a big, massive guy while all the other teeny tiny
Speaker 1: children dance together. And I hated that. I felt I
Speaker 1: was being so othered, Like why do we have to
Speaker 1: be paired with someone of the same size? No idea?
Speaker 1: Like was my elementary music teacher afraid that I'd do
Speaker 1: Si dough a tiny boy so hard that he'd be
Speaker 1: flung out into outer space or something. So, yeah, it
Speaker 1: was absolutely horrendous having the square dance and music class.
Speaker 1: But instead of blaming my music teacher for my negative
Speaker 1: square dancing experience, I've decided to be the bigger person
Speaker 1: and find even more people to blame. And who's at
Speaker 1: the top of my blame list, why none other than
Speaker 1: automobile mogul Henry Ford. Yeah, it's Henry Ford's fault that
Speaker 1: we had to square dance in elementary school. He loved
Speaker 1: square dancing. He thought square dancing represented the true spirit
Speaker 1: of America. It had fallen out of fashion and he
Speaker 1: was determined to revive the dance. And it wasn't just
Speaker 1: that he loved square dancing. He also did this in
Speaker 1: response to all the new types of music and dance
Speaker 1: coming out of the nineteen twenties. Specifically, he hated everything
Speaker 1: that had to do with jazz. Jazz to him was filthy, vile, disgusting,
Speaker 1: needlessly provocative. People were improvising, for Christ's sakes, and when
Speaker 1: people would listen to this music, they would do appalling
Speaker 1: things like the Charleston or they'd just be flapping their
Speaker 1: arms gyrating their pelvises. An abomination and extremely un American,
Speaker 1: and by Unamerican, what Henry Ford meant was that jazz
Speaker 1: was created and made by black people, and many of
Speaker 1: the writers and performers of jazz were Jewish. And Henry Ford, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he spent a lot of time building cars, but he
Speaker 1: also set aside plenty of free time to be a
Speaker 1: white supremacist. Yeah, so we're squear dancing because Henry Ford
Speaker 1: wanted us to be real Americans who do traditional old
Speaker 1: time white ass dancing. He wanted to promenade Americans back
Speaker 1: to the past where we stood in a line and
Speaker 1: the only thing that was jiggling was not our asses
Speaker 1: but our toes. Cree the theme song This is American Film.
Speaker 1: Then I'm Gabby Watts. Every week I tell you a
Speaker 1: filthy story from American history. This week's episode, Why We
Speaker 1: Square Dance spoilers white supremacy. Henry Ford grew up in Michigan,
Speaker 1: and there he spent his time tinkering with equipment, experimenting
Speaker 1: and building his own vehicles. He became an engineer working
Speaker 1: in Detroit, founded a few companies that failed until finally
Speaker 1: he produced the Model T. And what was special about
Speaker 1: that car? It was affordable, so After it came out
Speaker 1: in nineteen oh eight, it quickly became the most popular
Speaker 1: car in a man America. Henry Ford didn't just innovate automobiles. No,
Speaker 1: he also innovated work. He implemented the assembly line. He
Speaker 1: proposed the five day, forty hour work week. And some
Speaker 1: of you guys might be like, ough, he makes us
Speaker 1: go to work five times a week, what a bitch?
Speaker 1: Well before it was a lot worse. It was like
Speaker 1: six days, seven days a week, and sometimes people were
Speaker 1: working one bazillion hours. So actually he was pretty good
Speaker 1: because he liked people working less. He was like, when
Speaker 1: they work less, they'll be more productive, have higher morale.
Speaker 1: And not only that, if they have more leisure time,
Speaker 1: they will buy more stuff. And Ford he loved when
Speaker 1: people bought stuff. He loved consumerism, not just because he
Speaker 1: was a capitalist who was making a lot of money
Speaker 1: off of his cars. He also thought that consumerism would
Speaker 1: lead to world peace, because if you're buying stuff, you're
Speaker 1: gonna be too busy to start and fight in wars. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's why women be shopping so much, because we're interested
Speaker 1: in world peace. Ford was a pacifist. He opposed World
Speaker 1: War One, even though his company ended up making a
Speaker 1: lot of wartime vehicles and equipment. But guys, you shouldn't
Speaker 1: let your morality get in the way of making oodles
Speaker 1: of money. And here's a theory I have. I think
Speaker 1: the reason that Henry Ford was so interested in making
Speaker 1: cars was because he had a lot of people he
Speaker 1: wanted to drive away from and or run over. Henry Ford,
Speaker 1: he wasn't just races. He was also extremely anti Semitic.
Speaker 1: Men can do at all. One thing that Ford did
Speaker 1: that seemed progressive at the time was that he hired
Speaker 1: thousands of black men to work at his factories in Detroit,
Speaker 1: and when they first started, he paid his black employees
Speaker 1: the same as his white employees. But if you can
Speaker 1: believe it, that didn't last because Ford was super opposed
Speaker 1: to unions, effectively cutting off people from advocating for better
Speaker 1: working conditions rights having any say in the business, and
Speaker 1: the labor was often dangerous, so he didn't listen to
Speaker 1: his employees when they complained, being like, hey, I might
Speaker 1: lose my arm or die in your factory. And he
Speaker 1: especially didn't listen to his employees who were black. He
Speaker 1: also aggressively surveiled his black employees while they were working,
Speaker 1: and then he even hired people to spy on them
Speaker 1: outside of work. If they're getting into stuff he didn't
Speaker 1: approve of, he'd fire them. And throughout the nineteen twenties,
Speaker 1: the jobs for black workers and white workers started segregating,
Speaker 1: and the black employees were disproportionately assigned to more dangerous jobs,
Speaker 1: jobs that also didn't get as much pay as jobs
Speaker 1: white employees were assigned to. And also in general, Ford
Speaker 1: was just really paternalistic to his black employees, like with
Speaker 1: the surveillance, he was like, I tell you what to
Speaker 1: do at work and outside of work. And of course
Speaker 1: Henry Ford was so anti semitic. How anti semitic was he? Well,
Speaker 1: Hitler gave him a shout out in his autobiographical manifesto
Speaker 1: Mind comp Now that's someone you want to compliment from.
Speaker 1: In nineteen nineteen, Ford bought a newspaper called The Dearborn Independent,
Speaker 1: based in a suburb of Detroit. He bought this newspaper
Speaker 1: because he wanted an outlet to express his opinions. You know,
Speaker 1: sometimes people write in a diary. Other people need a
Speaker 1: whole newspaper. Have you guys heard of this rich people
Speaker 1: buying newspapers so that they can express their opinions. What's
Speaker 1: up Washington Post? And Ford's main opinions were about pacifism
Speaker 1: and anti Semitism, which you wouldn't think those things would
Speaker 1: go hand in hand, being anti violence but also hating
Speaker 1: a group of people. It's like owning a prius that
Speaker 1: saves the environment but using it to run over people.
Speaker 1: And why did Henry Ford hate Jewish people? Well, nothing
Speaker 1: can actually justify your bigotry, so if you can believe it,
Speaker 1: his reasons were really stupid. First, he was convinced that
Speaker 1: Jewish people were trying to take over the world. Why
Speaker 1: did he think this because of a book called the
Speaker 1: Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which was a fabricated
Speaker 1: text published in Russia in nineteen oh three. So he
Speaker 1: read a fake book and was like, look, the Jews
Speaker 1: are trying to have world domination. So if you're one
Speaker 1: of those people who are like, wow, everyone is so
Speaker 1: media illiterate nowadays, don't worry. We've always lacked media literacy.
Speaker 1: Ford was convinced that the Jews controlled the banks, specifically
Speaker 1: this nebulous idea of the International Bank. And then he
Speaker 1: was like, the international Bank is what's responsible for the
Speaker 1: United States entering World War One and inciting the war
Speaker 1: for their own benefit. So Ford bought The Dearborn Independent
Speaker 1: because he needed to warn the American people, I mean
Speaker 1: specifically people in Michigan about the scourge of the American Jew.
Speaker 1: He's like, watch out, they're in kahoots to take over
Speaker 1: the world. And he was not subtle at all about
Speaker 1: his anti semitism. From nineteen twenty to nineteen twenty seven,
Speaker 1: the front page of the weekly paper featured a series
Speaker 1: called The International Jew The World's Problem. Of course, many
Speaker 1: people hated the newspaper, and after he started the series
Speaker 1: The International Jew the World's Problem, a lot of people
Speaker 1: started protesting the newspaper. It was removed from libraries and
Speaker 1: people were boycotting Ford automobiles, and very briefly he stopped
Speaker 1: the series, but less than a year later he sneakily
Speaker 1: started it up again. He's like, they're not gonna notice
Speaker 1: that I'm spouting this hateful red rick. But they did,
Speaker 1: and actually his anti semitism led to the downfall of
Speaker 1: the newspaper. Isn't that nice when a bad guy gets
Speaker 1: what's coming to him. I feel like that rarely happens today.
Speaker 1: But what happened was in April nineteen twenty four, the
Speaker 1: newspaper started publishing pieces about this attorney named Aaron Sapiro,
Speaker 1: and Sapiro was like, guys, you know what you're writing
Speaker 1: about me are just full on lies, So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: sue you for libel. Dumbasses. That's why you don't go
Speaker 1: after lawyers. They know the law. Henry Ford was supposed
Speaker 1: to appear in court, but instead of doing that, because
Speaker 1: there's this whole media circus about it, he just shut
Speaker 1: down the newspaper and agreed to a settlement. Part of
Speaker 1: that settlement was he had to release a formal apology
Speaker 1: to Sapiro, and being the little bitch that he was,
Speaker 1: he didn't even write the apology himself, but he did
Speaker 1: have to give Sapiro a lot of money, and you'd think, wow,
Speaker 1: justice has been served. Henry Ford won't be able to
Speaker 1: poison the world with his anti Semitism now. Not exactly,
Speaker 1: because even though he lost his newspaper, he was still
Speaker 1: doing a lot of other stuff to try to prevent
Speaker 1: Jewish people from taking over the world, because he saw
Speaker 1: the threat of the American jew coming from everywhere. He
Speaker 1: blamed all things modern on the Jews, from women wearing
Speaker 1: shorter skirts to the general blooster societal norms of the time,
Speaker 1: and one of the biggest threats out there jazz. Okay,
Speaker 1: let's make Henry Ford's ghost really upset and play some
Speaker 1: jazz music. Oh God, ghost screams, turn that racket off.
Speaker 1: Here's what one of those articles in The Dearborn Independence
Speaker 1: said about jazz in nineteen twenty one. Many people have wondered,
Speaker 1: whence come the waves upon waves of musical slush that
Speaker 1: invade decent homes and set the young people of this
Speaker 1: generation imitating the drivel of morons. Popular music is a
Speaker 1: Jewish monopoly. Jazz is a Jewish creation. The mush, slush,
Speaker 1: the sly suggestion, the abandoned sensuousness of sliding notes are
Speaker 1: of Jewish origin. Yes, he thought that jazz was making
Speaker 1: everyone stupid. It was making people sensual and heaven forbid sexual,
Speaker 1: driving good Americans into a frenzy. Jazz must be stopped.
Speaker 1: But the real moron in this situation was Henry Ford,
Speaker 1: Because yeah, he was being bigoted against the Jews, but
Speaker 1: the Jews didn't even create jazz music. Black people created jazz.
Speaker 1: What a dumbass like, Yeah, there are a lot of
Speaker 1: Jewish performers and writers, but there are also even more
Speaker 1: black performers and writers. So Henry Ford, he wasn't just
Speaker 1: being bigoted, he was also being real dumb. Henry Ford
Speaker 1: wasn't even fact checking his racism either way. He hated it,
Speaker 1: hated that jazz crap. So what did Henry Ford do
Speaker 1: to combat the evils of jazz? Well, he was determined
Speaker 1: to bring us back to the good old days when
Speaker 1: America was great without the filth of that terrible music,
Speaker 1: where people were listening to music that made them dance
Speaker 1: and act appropriate music that would make you dance in
Speaker 1: a square be right back after these soothing advertisements. Henry
Speaker 1: Ford hated modernity. He wanted the country to return to
Speaker 1: a pastoral, good old boy past, you know, before Jewish
Speaker 1: immigration exponentially increased in the late nineteenth century, and perhaps
Speaker 1: even when black people were still enslaved. The fact that
Speaker 1: Henry Ford was thirsty and nostalgic for this old time
Speaker 1: America was really hypocritical because he hated farming. He grew
Speaker 1: up on a farm, and he said in his autobiography
Speaker 1: that the only thing he liked about farming was that
Speaker 1: it reminded him of his deceased mother. He said, I
Speaker 1: never had any particular love for the farm. It was
Speaker 1: the mother on the farm I loved. He's like, oh, Mommy,
Speaker 1: how I miss you. But thank gonna see you're gone
Speaker 1: so that you don't have to see the horrors of
Speaker 1: jazz music. And even though he hated farming, he was like,
Speaker 1: that's when America was great, you know, that's when ladies
Speaker 1: were wearing long skirts and I only had to hear
Speaker 1: music played by fiddles and shit, none of this jazz
Speaker 1: crap existed. Jazz is so evil, you know. It's music
Speaker 1: that's played in a wide variety of time signatures. People
Speaker 1: were improvising, which we all know. If you improvise, that's
Speaker 1: how the devil gets into your soul. Like, how do
Speaker 1: people come up with those notes so fast? It's because
Speaker 1: their soul is tethered to hell. Hell makes you creative.
Speaker 1: Board started collecting old farming equipment and antiques, and that
Speaker 1: wasn't all. He was like, I need to remind people
Speaker 1: how great life used to be when everyone was dancing
Speaker 1: in an appropriate manner. So around the same time he
Speaker 1: was publishing his anti semitic newspaper in Dearborn. He bought
Speaker 1: several historic ends there and made it a hub of
Speaker 1: old time music and dance. He hired a dance master
Speaker 1: an old time dance orchestra. He then paid for old
Speaker 1: time dance to be introduced into surrounding schools and universities.
Speaker 1: He was like, hey, guys, you can use this as good, classic,
Speaker 1: pure physical education. He said that square dancing provides quote,
Speaker 1: social training, courtesy, good citizenship, along with rhythm, though nothing
Speaker 1: too complicated. Remember this is white people dancing. He hosted
Speaker 1: fiddle competitions, made an old time music radio series, made
Speaker 1: films about old time musicians, and he and his wife
Speaker 1: even wrote and distributed old time dance manuals. And here's
Speaker 1: another bad thing about working in a Ford factory, besides
Speaker 1: the racism and the paternalism, was he also made his
Speaker 1: employees attend square dancing events. Don't you guys hate it
Speaker 1: when you've been toiling at a factory all day and
Speaker 1: then your boss is like, now you gotta do some
Speaker 1: dosey do promenade. Twirl your partner, but don't twirl her
Speaker 1: too hard. That would be crazy. We don't want anyone
Speaker 1: to get dizzy. Dizziness is bad ergo also created by
Speaker 1: the Jews. So Henry Ford, he thought that consumerism would
Speaker 1: lead to world peace. Ha ha ha ha ha he
Speaker 1: he he he. And he also thought that dancing was
Speaker 1: great for the body and the spirit, and one of
Speaker 1: the dance manuals he and his wife wrote, he was like,
Speaker 1: dancing is great. It has the quote tendency to allay
Speaker 1: nervous trouble. It can improve health. It's an important cultural
Speaker 1: and social diversion. But of course, he was like, it
Speaker 1: has to be a certain kind of dancing. Other dance
Speaker 1: could corrupt you. He called square dancing and other folk
Speaker 1: dances the style of dancing which best fits the American temperament. Yes,
Speaker 1: Americans should just dance in a square. We should only
Speaker 1: be dancing to beats of four and sometimes three if
Speaker 1: we're feeling naughty and want to do a waltz. But
Speaker 1: nothing else. In the dance manual, he also tried to
Speaker 1: rationalize why this new dancing was bad. He said, dancing
Speaker 1: to jazz, or as he called it, ultra modern dancing,
Speaker 1: has a one on one quality. He said, It begins
Speaker 1: and ends with a single couple, no more as necessary,
Speaker 1: the group's spirit of fun is absent. He was also
Speaker 1: like this, dancing takes place in cramped, crowded, possibly sweaty rooms,
Speaker 1: he said. Dancing that inspires the group's spirit of fun
Speaker 1: requires room. Rooms in cities, especially in cabarets, are expensive.
Speaker 1: Hence the form of dancing has been encouraged that enables
Speaker 1: the largest possible number of paining couples to dance together
Speaker 1: in the smallest possible space. The result is that, in
Speaker 1: the modern method, the movement of the dance is mostly
Speaker 1: above the feet. That's right. Jazz dancing and other modern
Speaker 1: dances have people dancing above their dogs, above their toesies,
Speaker 1: above their foots. What a terrible thought. You guys know
Speaker 1: what's above the feet, hips, waists, arms, chests, and worst
Speaker 1: of all, genitals. Henry Ford's like, God, the steaks couldn't
Speaker 1: be higher. People are dancing with their pelvis? Is Ford
Speaker 1: believe that the only part of your body that should
Speaker 1: touch another body during dancing was the arms? Anything else
Speaker 1: was inappropriate and Unamerican? Isn't it great when people disguise
Speaker 1: racism and anti semitism with propriety and patriotism. Of the
Speaker 1: many ironies in his square dancing campaign is that what
Speaker 1: Ford thought of as square dancing was actually created by
Speaker 1: black people and Antebellum America often enslaved people were forced
Speaker 1: to dance at white balls as ornaments, you know, but
Speaker 1: usually they didn't have any dance training, so they would
Speaker 1: have to observe, you know, the dances of the time,
Speaker 1: the French quadrille, etc. And then adapt them because they
Speaker 1: had no instruction. Like in square dancing, there's all this
Speaker 1: call and response, and black people were actually the people
Speaker 1: who started doing that. So again, Henry Ford is bigoted
Speaker 1: and also stupid. Another big irony to all of this
Speaker 1: is that he hated modernity, and yet he was the
Speaker 1: one who created an affordable car that people could buy,
Speaker 1: thus propelling everyone into a more modern era where you
Speaker 1: could just scoot around, and if you could scoot around,
Speaker 1: it was easier to get up to all sorts of
Speaker 1: modern business. But Henry Ford was probably like, oh, but
Speaker 1: I just wanted people to use my cars so they
Speaker 1: could drive real fast to like church, or to like
Speaker 1: the barn, or to like, you know, stores that sell
Speaker 1: really long skirts for women. At first, a lot of
Speaker 1: people saw his square dancing crusade as homie as missionary
Speaker 1: work is innocent, just a guy who wanted to do
Speaker 1: some harmless old time cracker barrel style living. And with
Speaker 1: his efforts, square dancing did catch on for a few years,
Speaker 1: and it would have been really embarrassing if it didn't
Speaker 1: because he was funneling so much money into square dance
Speaker 1: education across the country. He was so desperate for the
Speaker 1: square dance. He's like a square dance simp. And yeah,
Speaker 1: square dancing did catch on for a little bit, but
Speaker 1: unfortunately it didn't last. Oh no, no, square dancing could
Speaker 1: not compete with the rhythm and the fun of jazz. Sorry,
Speaker 1: Henry Ford, Maybe you should have introduced some other shapes
Speaker 1: to square dancing. Maybe a circle if you're feeling crazy,
Speaker 1: maybe a triangle. Maybe you should have let people shake
Speaker 1: their asses a little bit, like just a hint of jiggle.
Speaker 1: And wouldn't it be nice if that was the end
Speaker 1: of the story, that Ford failed to bring square dancing
Speaker 1: back to its zen in American culture, that his beliefs
Speaker 1: rooted in white supremacy were thwarted. That would be nice
Speaker 1: if it was the end of the story. But unfortunately
Speaker 1: for us, and specifically for me, in my elementary school
Speaker 1: music classroom, which, by the way, was not a classroom,
Speaker 1: it was a trailer outside. Ford's crusade for square dancing
Speaker 1: inspired a bunch of other people to get on the
Speaker 1: square dancing bandwagon and try to make it a thing again.
Speaker 1: One of these crusaders for square dancing was this guy
Speaker 1: named Lloyd Shaw. He was also known as doctor Lloyd
Speaker 1: Pappy Shaw. I don't think he was actually a doctor though.
Speaker 1: Maybe he was a pappy though. And the nineteen thirties
Speaker 1: and forties he traveled across the country with a dance
Speaker 1: show that advocated for square dancing to be part of
Speaker 1: physical education. There are also other folk dancing groups that
Speaker 1: started advocating for square dancing to become the national folk dance.
Speaker 1: But there was infighting amongst the square dance community because
Speaker 1: over the decades a new version of square dancing emerged
Speaker 1: called modern Western square dancing, and the folk purists were like,
Speaker 1: that's not real square dancing. They're like, it's a bastardization
Speaker 1: of it. Sometimes in modern Western square dancing they don't
Speaker 1: even have a live fiddle player. If you don't have
Speaker 1: a fiddler, how can you even dance? And sometimes with
Speaker 1: modern Western square dancing. They just danced to recorded music.
Speaker 1: That's disgusting to think. If we keep doing modern Western
Speaker 1: square dancing, we won't be able to employ all of
Speaker 1: the fiddlers. The fiddlers need jobs. Despite their differences, the
Speaker 1: square dancer rallied and when Ronald Reagan was president, not
Speaker 1: only did he introduce crack into neighborhoods, he also signed
Speaker 1: a bill that made square dancing the national folk dance.
Speaker 1: The bill said, the American people value the display of
Speaker 1: etiquette among men and women, which is a major element
Speaker 1: of square dancing. It's a traditional form of family recreation
Speaker 1: that dissolves arbitrary social distinctions. Actually, what it was supposed
Speaker 1: to do was make everybody white. But unfortunately for the
Speaker 1: square dancers, that bill only made square dancing the national
Speaker 1: folk dance between the years nineteen eighty two and nineteen
Speaker 1: ninety three. But the square dancers couldn't be stopped, and
Speaker 1: they sasheyed their way to the states. They started law
Speaker 1: being legislators at the state level to make square dance
Speaker 1: their official state folk dance. And it was pretty easy
Speaker 1: to do because most states didn't have official folk dance.
Speaker 1: And so today square dancing is the official state dance
Speaker 1: in thirty one states, and so unfortunately, Henry Ford got
Speaker 1: his way and many of us had to grow up
Speaker 1: square dancing, which was humiliating and also originated from white supremacy.
Speaker 1: I think this story does illustrate something about racists. They're
Speaker 1: very persistent and sometimes they can be creative in the
Speaker 1: way that they like to legally enshrine white supremacy. Henry
Speaker 1: Ford did it with dancing and also just by having
Speaker 1: a shit ton of money. But something cool that's happening
Speaker 1: right now is I think square dancing line dancing is
Speaker 1: being reclaimed. We're shifting the narrative because recently one of
Speaker 1: my friends, Bushwick, was at a lesbian bar and there's
Speaker 1: a bunch of diverse lesbians learning how to line dance
Speaker 1: and square dance. Yes, diverse lesbians. Henry Ford would have
Speaker 1: hated that. He probably couldn't even comprehend the idea of
Speaker 1: diverse lesbians. Every episode of American filth we learn a lesson,
Speaker 1: and I think the lesson we learn in this episode
Speaker 1: is that perhaps it's pretty easy to change the state dance. Like,
Speaker 1: I'm from Georgia, grew up there. That's where I had
Speaker 1: to square dance. And I'm thinking it's time for a change.
Speaker 1: I'm from Atlanta, the home of krunk music. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: it's time to change Georgia State dance from square dancing
Speaker 1: to the Soldier Boy. Because what's really more valuable learning
Speaker 1: how to promenade dosey dough sachet but not in a
Speaker 1: gay way? Or is it more valuable to learn how
Speaker 1: to superman on these hoes? Anyway, any of you guys
Speaker 1: in Georgia let me know if you want to get
Speaker 1: in cahoots to change the state dance. Cue the credits.
