In a roundtable discussion with Passion City founder Louie Giglio and Christian rapper Lecrae on Sunday, Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy called for white people to shine the shoes of black people to repent for their racism – this after about a dozen of the chain’s restaurants suffered vandalism over the past week.
Instead of condemning the actions of destroying the property of others, Cathy said victims should have empathy for the frustration at the base of the behavior.
“[M]y 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,” Cathy said.
Cathy cited a story of a young man at a Texas church revival who shined the shoes of an elderly black man at the revival over his feelings about racism in his community. The CEO then shined the shoes of Lecrae, who deftly called out the gesture.

Cathy you will never get another penny of mine and my Family and I hope he gets this message
God as my witness I promise that I will never step foot back in a chic filet as long as I’m alive. I’m not apologizing for nothing that I didn’t have any control over.
If you want to shine shoes go for it you might be good at it. I don’t owe nobody s**t and vice versa.
Dan Cathey, your dad would turn over in his grave, with these remarks. Tho he was no racists, he didnt talk stupid. Give up all you have and give the company to blm.
I thought he had guts….boy, I guess he fooled a lot of reasonable folks……
Well ahole you just killed your business………. I will never spend another dime in one of your stores and I am sure that millions of good white people in this country will do the same. Good luck idiot.
They can shin my shoes. Chic fa lay no more. Nothing but race baiting.
This guy is out of his mind!
Any talk of “reparations” must include the families of the 360,000 union soldiers who DIED to stop slavery.
Let’s also be cognizant of the largesse of the American taxpayers for funding welfare and all programs aimed at improving the lives of minorities.
How about you Fxck yourself running you bald headed bitch of a man’! I hope you fall down and can’t get back up.
You can eat S**t Fucker
