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."

How do the shakedown artists get access to these top-level exec’s and CEO’s. However they do it, it sure pays off.

It’s not racism, it’s the crime! And what do these black people want...whites to lie prostrate before them? Tell them to clean up their act and join American culture. Then they’ll get the respect they want if they’re not getting it already.

I cannot remember the last time I heard a racist statement from any friend of mine. (I have heard lots of racist talk from Leftists in the media.)
Mr. Cathy, I suggest you start hanging around with a better class of people.

Me and mine have NOTHING to repent. However, reading the crime statistics and watching the horror being committed by the racist BLM movement and their Communist ANTIFA cousins, they sure do.

While we're at it, would some give the rest of the world a Coke and teach them how to sing too?
Christianity is THE most inclusive faith in the world, especially of women, as compared with that other travesty that begins with "I".

I don't mind so much speaking against racism. It's virtually a requirement now. But apologizing for a employee wearing a "Back the Blue" shirt (which, ironically, had nothing to do with the police) and shining LeCrea's shoes on stage is just plain pandering and a bridge too far. What a shame.

I had just one sandwich from Chick-Fil-A since it first opened. That is my last sandwich. They might as well join the heathen crowd and open on Sundays.

Will this white guilt ridden CEO place his restaurants in the crime ridden sections of Minneapolis, Chicago, St Louis and other Democrat controlled cities? Charity begins at home, Mr Cathy. We can assume that his charitable home is surely far removed from these dangerous neighborhoods.

I have enjoyed the occasional CFA spicy chicken sandwich but I fear my last one was indeed my last. S. Truett Cathy must be whirling in his grave as his son strives to destroy the business. As one poster opined, they may as well join the rest of the godless and open on Sunday and provide non-gender bathrooms.
The Left have taken our schools, our children, our history, our books, our entertainment, our news, our freedom to worship - there are perilously few hills left to die on.

It’s not about racism; it’s about control. That’s why the narrative continually changes. They could have every white person down on their knees, giving every cent they have for reparations, and the goal posts would change again. Ever try to win an argument with a control freak? The moment you make a salient point, they immediately shift to another—sometimes unrelated—point. None of this will ever end, until decent people understand this. Acquiescing does not make you a good person. Accepting a control freak’s terms unconditionally doesn’t make you a good Christian. It makes you a pawn.

The biggest racists I've seen in the past 50 years have been from the likes of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Black Panthers, BLM, black football players, and other assorted sniveling self-appointed victims!

1. Their breakfast biscuits are dry and crumbly. McD's is much better. Actually several local filling station's biscuits in my opinion rank as the best.
2. I like the chicken sandwich but there are others like Zaxby's that are just as good.
3. And now that Wendy's has started toasting their buns (well... at least at one location)
their chicken sandwich may be much improved. Though their Molotov toasting method may prevent me from patronizing that location.

OK, I see.....we must be understanding of their vandalism and other crimes because the perps are frustrated??
Who among us hasn't been frustrated from time to time? Long wait times at the grocery checkout, in doctor offices, in traffic, taking a vacation day from work to wait for an appointment who never appeared and did not call to apologize. These are just a short list of things that frustrate me but I never thought I could express my frustration by vandalizing a business. I have also been shoved by a black female while I was shopping. I was debating between two items I was thinking of purchasing and I suppose I was too slow in my deliberations; she wanted to shop the same items so she shouldered me aside. As I recall I didn't go back and loot the store or attack that woman.
We handle ourselves based on maturity and consideration for others. Those are tools that are ridiculed by these criminals.

I've never been to a Chick-fil-a, no plans to ever eat there now. As for this CEO and all the others, I'm beyond fed up with their crap.
I take no credit or blame for anything any of my ancestors did and I will NOT apologize for being white.

As far as I'm concerned Chik-Fil-A just jumped the shark.

They never had the woke for customers, and now they've lost the rest.

I don't have a racist bone in my body! However, I'm also not blind to see what has been happening in the African American community for decades. 75% of children born to single mothers. Crime out of control in their parts of major cities? Black on Black crime skyrocketing... I'm not going to apologize for something that I haven't done or thought! As a Christian we are taught Galatians 3:28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. THAT is what I believe and practice! And I will give no preference to any "aggrieved" group of "victims"!!!

I'm done with Chuck Fil A. When they caved to the LGBTQ herd, they became just another fast food joint, with nothing to distinguish them from similar businesses. Now, they want me to repent for sins I've not committed. Nope, not going to happen and they have seen the last dollar of my money.

Funny. Squishy, weak spined Churchian who bends to the World instead of God, lecturing actual Christians who bend to GOD, not the World. You dishonor the fine legacy of your family Mr. Cathy. Hope you invested your money well, because the destruction of your company is about to commence. Do you not realize yet that you do not apologize to immoral people for actually wanting to follow and obey God? I am sorry sir, that you have caved to those people.

That someone can deliberately categorize human beings as "white," act as if that actually is a meaningful category, and then apply moral judgment to them as a group while decrying racism illustrates the essential absurdity inherent the fictitious concept of race. The concept of race as a way of thinking about human beings is inherently illogical and socially destructive. The application of that concept in the form of an accusation is a vile and dishonorable act.

We do not repent for anything "collectively". There is no such thing as corporate or collective guilt.
Cathy and others who are accepting the idea that by being "white" we must be inherently racist, because we are not black. That's silly. The US is a majority "white" nation, and there is nothing wrong with that. Do we condemn Africa for being "black" or China or any other country for one or another feature being a majority?
Besides, do we see people desperately trying to get INTO those countries? or here? Do incoming ethnic groups have some struggles? Ask the Irish, ask the Italians, ask the Jews, we could go on and on.
Cathy is falling under the Maoist spell of collective sin and collective punishment pushed by BLM and no doubt antifa doctrine as a catalyst also.
Most likely this is a big doorway for the reparations movement: it doesn't matter whether or not you owned slaves or supported slavery or any of the segregation laws and activities as the Democrats did, all the way to LBJ, and i'll say all the way to Senator Robert Byrd (claimed he gave up his Grand Kleagle's robes) so did Ralph Northam (plus the blackface make-up) (there are more, but leave that aside). It doesn't matter to the fascist Democrats when you emigrated here, or from what horrors you escaped. They must dominate and control, and they are following the Maoist pattern of nightmares.
Way back at the beginning of President Trump's presidency i said that the kind of virulent and irrational hate directed at DJT (and us vicariously) is a lethal poison injected into the body politik. People like Cathy who weakly submit are helping fuel the implosion. According to demolition experts, you only need a few well-place charges to bring down a massive structure.
They mean to destroy this Republic, and Cathy just pitched in.

If you have never committed a racist act, discriminated against anyone, missed a promotion due to racial selection and paid tens of thousands of dollars in taxes some of which is distributed to African-Americans children and able body men on the dole, you don't need to ask for forgiveness and you don't need Mr. Brooks telling you how to practice your faith. I'm appalled that such an ignorant statement could be made under the guise of Christianity. Mr. Brooks had a forum to advance Christianity, but instead of speaking about pro-life, etc., he condemned people he knows nothing about with his backhand comments. Confess your own sins, Mr. Brooks, you must have lot of them if this is how you conduct yourself.

If you get as many emails from all of these businesses as I do, you’ll find they are all apologizing and saying they will do better regarding race relations. Mr. Cathy is a Christian and Christians believe in hate the sin and love the sinner, so I’m not offended by what he said. I believe they are all afraid now because the BLM and Antifa seem to have the upper hand. Thank, media.
I will just tell these businesses I didn’t realize they were racists before I read their emails, and maybe I should shop elsewhere. If you choose not to eat at Chick-fil-A, you’d better not eat at most every other place because they’re all pretty much on the same page.
