Repent for your Racism

[Adonia]

So says the CEO of Chick - Fil - A , Mr. Dan Cathy, who is the son of the eatery's founder S. Truett Cathy in a roundtable discussion with Christian rapper Lecrae and another man Louie Giglio. As reported in Breitbart, Mr. Cathy said that whites should not condemn the behavior of destroying others’ property. Instead, he said, they should have empathy for the underlying frustration. After calling for whites to repent for racism, Cathy got down and shined Lecrae’s shoes on stage.

Quite a turnaround from when the gays and other assorted liberals were on the warpath because of the chains Christian values. My wife and I (along with many others) flocked to Chick-Fil-A to join in the buy-cott of the franchise to show our support.

I have nothing to repent for on this issue. I have treated black people with respect my whole life, and with these antics of Mr. Cathy I have truly bought my last Chick-Fil-A sandwich.

I have nothing to repent for on this issue. I have treated black people with nothing but respect and dignity my whole life, and with these antics of Mr. Cathy I have truly bought my last Chick-Fil-A sandwich.

So because of the issue of slavery, we should allow Black and others to just loot and steal and burn it all down, because we all "deserve it?"

Does anyone have the guts to confront this head on?

Will we be shamed for holding that Gays and lesbians are living immorally, and that Islam is not of God?

Obviously we view this differently. You deny the social construct of race and how it is embedded into the social fabric of US American culture. You think that racism is individual prejudice and nothing more, therefore you self-righteously declare you have never done anything wrong.
I won't attempt to change your mind. I will only say that I will continue to eat at Chick-fil-A. I may even buy another meal to make up for your choice to leave.

Alrighty, then ^

Liberal white guilt aside, this is another example of how the second generation can just trash their parent's legacy. So Dan Cathy wants to shine Air Jordans, it's his right to degrade himself by this shallow virtue signalling but I bet Daddy is turning in his grave.

Worth the listen.

 

[Adonia]

You deny the social construct of race and how it is embedded into the social fabric of US American culture.

I see, so nothing at all has been done in the last 50 years to rectify the problems of race relations in America. No landmark civil rights laws have been passed, no voting rights laws were passed, no equal rights laws in other areas such as housing, employment, public accommodations and schooling have been passed either. Sorry, but I have no guilt whatsoever in my relations to black people and white Americans in general shouldn't either.

What else do you want me to feel guilty about, the subjugation and near destruction of North America's native peoples since the arrival of the white man? Perhaps it's something more modern, like the internment of a whole race of American citizens (Japanese) during WW2? Do I have to whip myself over those terrible incidents too?

No, Mr. Cathy and yourself can take all this stuff upon yourselves, but you have no right to bring anyone else into your little self flagellation frenzy. Do yourself a favor, the next time you see a black man on the street go up to him, get on your knees and don't just wash his shoes like Mr. Cathy did to his chosen black person, kiss his feet all the while begging his forgiveness for your own sins against black people. And if that doesn't make you feel complete, try giving him a couple of hundred bucks (reparations) - maybe that will do the trick and you will walk away saved from your own self.

I wonder how many of his restaurants he is willing to sacrifice? See, he was really in good shape, the fact is the sanctimonious Mr. Cathy does not have many of his restaurants in the black community (if any at all). His are in all those nice white areas of town where there was no looting or burning.

Your response says you never watched the video and just mimicked your pad answer.

 

[Adonia]

Your response says you never watched the video and just mimicked your pad answer.

On the contrary, I watched the video but that does not leave me with having to have a part in this collective guilt that you and Mr. Cathy want us all to have. I wasn't a part of it and neither were the great majority of white people who are alive today.

So the video stars with "Household Wealth" and crying the blues that black people don't have any. Well, who is responsible for tearing asunder the black family unit so they could not build household wealth? Why LBJ and his fellow Democrats/Liberal bleeding hearts no less with their all encompassing government assistance payments. A Dad was no longer needed, as "Daddy Government" was now there to fill the void.

Then there was some more gobbledegook about vagrancy laws and such, more things that white people of today had no part of. After that it was the Jim Crow laws and segregation, once again something brought about by Democrats. They were solely to blame, not the white people alive today.

Then it was on to more government programs such as the FHA and whatnot. Drug laws and such, programs that a lot of Democrats voted for, so why am I being blamed? The recurring theme that exists in this video is government action after government action and that is the main problem here - the government!

The lesson is to get rid of all this government that has no basis in the Federal Constitution. But all those people who are upset today want more government (minus the police of course) not less. They want the government to give them everything from healthcare, to a weekly wage, to a burial plot somewhere all without having to work for it.

Good grief, that is the problem and always has been the problem - too much government!

Mr. Dan Cathy must have always had sheltered life. Maybe he is on drugs. His statements don't sound like something a clear thinking corporate ceo would say.

You imagine it as collective guilt. It seems you are looking for a way to run away from the problems in society and declare that it's not my problem.
Instead, I suggest you watch the movie, see how the racist policies in our nation make it easier for some and harder for others. Then, look for ways that you, personally can advocate for equity.
That has nothing to do with guilt. It has everything to do with helping to create a just society. God cares about justice. You and I should care about justice.

View attachment 3944

Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.” - Dietrich Bonhoeffer.
Those words equal tacit approval, which is what the BLM movement and these LGBTQueer activists get from us when we don't speak out and act against their attrocities.

 

[Adonia]

Instead, I suggest you watch the movie

I told you, I watched it. And I told you what I thought about it. Every citizen should be treated equally under the law.

You imagine it as collective guilt.

I am not imagining anything, I am responding to how Mr. Cathy sees it. He called for whites (meaning all whites) to repent for racism. I have nothing to repent for along this line. My personal sins need repentance yes, but this collective guilt of racism repentance, no.

It has everything to do with helping to create a just society. God cares about justice. You and I should care about justice.

I care for the promise of our nation which is "Equal Justice", not this "Social Justice" construct which encompasses every perceived "injustice" under the sun.

Not much of a Christian or he would know one cannot repent of the sins of others.

I am against the notion that seems to be that only whites are racists, or that only problems fellow Blacks have is with whites, as think FAR more Blacks have been hurt and killed by their fellow blacks and by abortion mills then by white cops!

better yet, lets just all acknowledge that we all have a terrible disease, sin, and that we all were part of a horrible crime of placing God Himself upon that Cross, and He is really only hope this nation has to reconcile now!

Yes, but not at the expense of allowing for carnage and thugs to run our streets!

 

[Calminian]

The real problem is, it's not real repentance. On the one hand, these white liberals say their repentant of racism, but on the other, blame it on some innate flaw caused by their skin shade. That's a copout.

Real repentance is personal and makes no excuses. I applaud real racial repentance. Collective repentance is no repentance at all. It's shameless virtue signaling.
