In the interview Cathy said, “Most of us, white people, we’re out-of-sight-out-of-mind oblivious to it. We cannot let this moment pass.” He went on to say, “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.”
He spoke out to his employees and realized there were “conscious and unconscious biases” and even spoke to black team members who felt there weren’t treated with honor and dignity in the workplace.
He noted that white people should “shine black peoples’ shoes to show a ‘sense of shame’ and ’embarrassment’ for racism.”
