Motorcycle maker Harley-Davidson has become the latest manufacturer to drop diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives amid sustained pressure from anti-DEI activist Robby Starbuck.
In a statement Monday, the Milwaukee-based company said it has not operated a corporate DEI function since April, no longer has minority-owned supplier goals and plans to exit socially motivated training for employees.
Harley-Davidson’s statement, posted on X, said that it sees “every leader’s role to ensure we have an employee base that reflects our customers and the geographies in which we operate” – and the company would limit training to legal requirements.
As a company, we take this issue very seriously…
…by abandoning it completely. Fuck you, Harley-Davidson.
Peddling Chinese made toys for low energy, post manhood, American “patriots” living in a distopian freedom fantasy.
I can’t wait for those noise polluting fuckers to go out of business when the boomers die.
I rode a Honda Shadow, fun little cruiser until an old lady took me out. The false ego and grand standing from the Harley guys was fuckin obnoxious, nearly as bad as the coal roller bros.
I, too, rode a Honda shadow. I quickly grew tired of that upright sitting position on classic cruisers. Longer rides made my spine feel every fucking bump.
On a separate note…
Fuck all of those Harley bitches that bought into the lifestyle riding around without helmets on the weekend.
Judging by the damage to my helmet I would not be typing right now if I didn’t roll out in full gear every time.
I hope you got a new helmet
Nope, no new bike either though. Between being out of work for 6 months for physical recuperation and the mental toll it took on me it’s taking a long time to bounce back financially. Doubly so with rent sucking my soul out on top of it.
Sshhh don’t tell them about helmets
Can’t wait to see this company go bankrupt as all da boomers die off. Good riddance.
My understanding is, the engineering of their bikes is sub-optimal
Intentionally, as their fanbase thinks development is communist propoganda
Haley-Davidson, by racists for racists.
I’m okay with boomer company disappearing in the market.
Always been a fan of Japanese bikes anyways.
Do you think Japanese companies are big on DEI?
They’re fine with a diversity of people who are ethnically Japanese.
Why do they say anti-woke when they can just say asleep?
you spelled ‘racist’ wrong
well, some of them are misogynists too
Some?
don’t forget bigots.
“Wake up sheeple!”
“No, not like that!”
Harley’s are hot garbage boomer bikes anyway. Get a Honda.
This reads like satire. I saw someone say the opposite of eating the onion was crying
Harley-Davidson’s statement, posted on X, said that it sees “every leader’s role to ensure we have an employee base that reflects our customers and the geographies in which we operate”
… “which means white and male only. Minorities and women need not apply.” -Harley Davidson probably
Someone’s gotta sell all their shitty merch
If trump wins and fascism comes back, companies will be heiling. No surprise
Something something…Weak men doing nothing…
Cowards.
That’s it, we got to all make our own bikes: playing cards and all!
Yeah but hearts and diamonds only. We don’t need any of those black suits forced on us.
Stupid Harley-Davidson sleeping activists can’t even do anything lol
Again with this Dale Earnhardt, Inc. Let him rest in peace with his face in a steering wheel in turn 4.
