Harley-Davidson sparks boycott call for going \u2018totally woke\u2019 with DEI policies<\/h3>\n

Story by Ariel Zilbe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Harley-Davidson became the latest major brand to face backlash over its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives \u2014 with a conservative online influencer calling for a boycott of the iconic motorcycle maker.<\/p>\n

Robby Starbuck, who has more than half a million followers on X, accused the Wisconsin-based company of having \u201cgone totally woke\u201d by hosting an LGBTQ+ boot camp at its offices, sponsoring Pride events and subjecting white employees to DEI indoctrination.<\/p>\n

Last week, Starbuck, a former GOP candidate for a congressional seat in Tennessee, organized an online campaign that forced John Deere and Tractor Supply to walk back its DEI initiatives, including eliminating Pride parades and festivals.
\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
\nIn a 10-minute video that was posted to X, Starbuck noted that Harley-Davidson is a \u201cplatinum founding member of the LGBT Chamber of Commerce in Wisconsin,\u201d which opposed banning transgender sex changes for children.<\/p>\n

Starbuck posted an advertisement in which the company touted the fact that it was \u201call in on diversity and inclusion.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Post has sought comment from Harley-Davidson.<\/p>\n

He also noted that Harley-Davidson\u2019s CEO, German-born businessman Jochen Zeitz, \u201cuses his millions to change opinions on climate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Zeitz has set a goal to make all Harley-Davidson vehicles run on electricity by 2030.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Harley’s woke policies have manifested themselves by:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Openly supports \u201cthe equality act” which would allow men into girl\u2019s bathrooms, sports and locker-rooms.<\/p>\n

\u2022 HD funded an all ages pride event that featured a “rage room” next to drag queen story time.<\/p>\n

\u2022 1,800 employees had to do virtual training on how to become LGBTQ+ allies.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Founding Member of Wisconsin\u2019s LGBTQ+ Chamber of Commerce \u2014 This chamber opposed a law that would\u2019ve banned sex changes for kids in Wisconsin on behalf of the businesses they represent, including HD.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sponsored LGBTQ+ Entrepreneur Bootcamp.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The woke CEO Jochen Zeitz signed the CEO Action for Diversity & Inclusion Pledge.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Made February and March “Months of Inclusion” because apparently Pride Month isn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sent some White Male employees to a White Male ONLY woke diversity training program.<\/p>\n

\u2022 HD is openly working to have less White suppliers, dealers and employees.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Hosted LGBTQ+ events at the corporate office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The list goes on but one gets the point- HD is deeply broken. I was never a Harley fanboi preferring more performance- oriented riding, but joshing with HD riders was all in good fun so this is really very sad. Hope it’s not too late for the marquee to recover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
