White Christians should repent for racism and fight for their black brothers and sisters, Chick-fil-A's CEO urged, after weeks of protests over police brutality and the death of Rayshard Brooks.
Cathy spoke about racism in America during a 70-minute roundtable discussion Sunday at Passion City Church in Atlanta. Brooks had been shot dead two days earlier by an Atlanta police officer in a Wendy's parking lot, sparking protests.
"Most of us, white people, we're out-of-sight-out-of-mind oblivious to it," Cathy said about injustice against black Americans. "We cannot let this moment pass."
The son of Chick-fil-A founder S. Truett Cathy said the company has had "about a dozen Chick-fil-A restaurants vandalized in the last week, but my plea would be for the white people, rather than point fingers at that kind of criminal effort, would be to see the level of frustration and exasperation and almost the sense of hopelessness that exists on some of those activists within the African-American community."

All Americans must atone for what I did.
“...and, shine a brutha’s shoes!”
Damn!! Man they have great chicken. Hate to give that up. lol
I need to repent, but not from the R word.
Nope! I treat ALL people with respect! I have nothing to apologize for.
I came from poor Irish immigrants that came here after the Civil War. I owe the Blacks Jack & shit.
Dan, I’ll repent of murder. But, just like you, I haven’t murdered anyone. But as long as it makes you feel better, here it goes...I REPENT OF MY SIN OF MURDER.
He can go **** himself.
When I get really angry Italian words come to mind first. Maybe I’ll post it in Italian later. I’m sure I’ll still be just as angry when I read it later
Can’t wait for one of these CEO’s to address the Polar Bear game.
Dan Cathy is going to destroy his company and find that he has no friends on either side.
Be slow to condemn Dan Cathy.
It doesn’t appear he actually used the word “repent,” and so at first glance it appears that the title is misrepresenting what he said. The entire article may be misrepresenting what he’s said.
Someone must have threatened the CEO/company as a whole.
Why is it the second generation always screws it up (most cases)
Oh danny boy,
the shoes they need a shinin’.
From glen to glen
and down the mountainside........
Dan Cathy, if you are a racist, Perhaps you could lead in the way of contrition by stepping down from your CEO position. Racism is a sin! You sir, need to repent!
Typical “round-table” “discussion” about race.
“White people are bad.”
“Yeah, they are really bad.”
“Yeah, they are really really bad.”
“But....”
“You are a racist if you don’t agree with us. You will never work in this town again.”
“I repent. You are correct. White people are really really really bad.”
County Cork. Second generation American. My father worked in a flour mill. Where is my blame for slavery in America?
