Of us, I do not know if you happen to’ve heard but, and I am sorry I am the one to let you know this, however Harley-Davidson is woke.
A minimum of, that is the accusation leveled by F-Record political commentator Robby Starbuck, as he states Harley-Davidson has succumbed to the immense strain of the Liberal Elite and *checks notes* included a really small portion of its buyer base in each its hiring and occasions.
Um, wait what. Seems, Starbuck thinks it is woke if individuals of colour and homosexual of us purchase Harley-Davidsons and work for the corporate. I really feel like I have to search for “woke” within the Dictionary as a result of that does not appear all that woke.
The previous music video director not too long ago got here into the nationwide dialog after he accused each John Deere and Tractor Provide of being woke, too. And, after considerably efficiently attacking the 2 corporations, he instructed USA At this time that the tactic was a surefire hit, as he found out that if he went after corporations that historically served conservative areas, whose insurance policies included any language that could possibly be misinterpreted or molded into trying woke, he may efficiently assault them.
And now his sights are set on Harley.
However it’s critically humorous to me that he is going after Harley-freakin’-Davidson. I imply, who of their proper thoughts would have a look at Harley and suppose it is woke? The corporate virtually completely sells to Boomers, cops, the navy, and outlaws. In addition to individuals who need to cosplay as these teams. Are these teams woke too?
What’s worse on this prepare of considering is it utterly disregards Harley’s actuality proper now, as gross sales are struggling as a result of the corporate solely sells to these teams. Their demographic is quickly declining, but Harley hasn’t actually finished a lot to cease the hemorrhaging. So even when they perhaps a couple of times talked about DEI or homosexual individuals present, it ain’t something in comparison with what it completely ought to do to avoid wasting the corporate from dropping no matter gross sales it presently enjoys.
And Harley’s advertising is sort of completely older and middle-aged white dudes. Lord have mercy, this “logic” makes my head damage.
So please, please, please, don’t imagine the headlines that Harley goes woke. The corporate completely is not. It is simply nothing greater than clickbait fodder.
