  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

On Aug. 19, Harley-Davidson released a vague memo that was touted as saying the company would move away from Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) policies. Unfortunately, they did no such thing. Several legacy news outlets and mediainfluencers on the right claimed a “win” for the right in the battle over woke policies at the legendary American company.

One of those personalities was Robbie Starbuck. His proclamation of victory was shared all across the MAGA media spectrum.

If only it were true.

The only thing the memo promised was that the company would end its DEI scoring to HRC—the Human Rights Campaign, which advocates LGBT+++ “rights.” The rest of the memo was purposely vague. The company never promised to end DEI, and it certainly did not promise to back away from Environmental, Social, and Governance policies (ESG), of which DEI is a part.

To confirm my suspicions, I checked the corporate website and, sadly, all the woke policies of ESG and DEI remain. Not only is the company still supporting the Green New Deal, to remove from t Earth healthy CO2 gasses, but the company still has DEI initiatives on its website as a corporate goal: Note:

Too bad. They are only alienating themselves from their customers. That's their own fault.

What the heck? Now even the motorcycle companies have become woke? Glad I do not own or ride motorcycles. Why does the woke agenda have to ruin everything. They ruined Starbucks and Target, Doctor Who, Star Wars, and the 2024 Olympics opening ceremony. This is the sign of the Great Falling away (2 Thessalonians 2).

I do support green energy, but this LGTV stuff has got to go. Totally demonic for Christians to support. #Boycott Harley, and buy Japanese from now on, if your want a motorcycle.

@rockytopva likes motorcycles, so he might want to hear this news as well. Just protecting a fellow brother from this woke stuff. :)

Sometimes I wonder whether these companies are just directly threatened with huge financial losses if they don't comply with this DEI tyranny.

Hired a German CEO that is not even a biker. Makes you wonder if it is not a conspiracy to take down an American icon to pave the world for globalization. Fortunately, there are Indian bikes and many are switching. But heh Harley I am available for CEO if you want to move production to a non-union state like South Dakota and double down on what made your company great in the first place.

I guess we can say, if the companies do not comply with the woke LGTV tyranny, they would Harley make any money.

Yes, that is a pun. But hey, if one goes woke, they go broke. Look at how Bud Lite lost a lot of money in 2023. Simple solution = Do not go woke.

By the way, this company is located in a purple state, WI. I am surprised to see that even a purple state is going woke.

Is money really worth your soul? That's WHAT they should be asking themselves.
