Video from Cathy a few years ago...


From Chick-Fil-A's website
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

"Chick-fil-A, Inc. is an equal opportunity employer that values diversity, equity and inclusion. We make employment decisions on a non-discriminatory basis and remain committed to maintaining work environments free from any form of harassment.



It has been and shall continue to be our policy that we do not discriminate in employment decisions or tolerate any form of harassment based upon sex, race, color, religion, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, pregnancy, age, physical and mental disability, genetic information, marital status, medical condition, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, gender expression, military and veteran status and/or any other status, classification, or factor protected by federal, state, or local law."

Its hard because I know Dan personally, although we havent spoke in years. My father knew Truett Cathy and spoke with Dan fairly regularly long before he took over the company. The Dan I knew was a good and Godly man who had the ambition to take CFA to new heights (which he has certainly done). Even in this video for the Passion City Church, I think it speaks to his heart that all Christians should be humble and be willing to take real acts of contrition. If Jesus Himself says that we should wash one another's feet (and He does) then we should approach things with that level of humility TO PEOPLE FROM ALL RACES - and its good to see someone who is as rich as Dan is now fully embrace that.

Where I take issue is if he is asking me to (and I am not convinced that he is) be contrite and apologize for the perhaps sins of my fathers. I say perhaps since my family is DAR but I have no idea whether they owned slaves, fought to free them, etc. Slavery was widely practiced throughout history and America was not immune to it. It is surely not what God intended for us, to be owned by anyone but Him. I have nothing to be sorry for in this regard, having experienced more racism directed at me in my lifetime than ever I proffered. My father, a doctor's son, who grew up picking cotton with black workers on an experimental farm in the Mississippi delta has nothing to feel sorry for either.

The entire DEI movement is demonic force that tries to masquerade as full of Christian virtue, even though most of woke's adherents believe God to be an anachronism at best. This is to be expected from the father of lies. But sadly, people are so hungry and the Church has so failed in Christ's injunctions toward them, that they swallow this poison in a desperate hope to satisfy. I hope this is not the case with Dan and that other masters of the universe have not led him astray.

Can't stop laughing at the right wing just proving that for them it's all about the hate.

One of the Bud Light boycott leaders has announced they are looking at boycotting Chik-fil-a for hiring a director of diversity. OMG, really? It's one of the more conservative companies in America.

They're just trying to make sure they address concerns of the under 30 consumer who is generally much more liberal than their predecessors. But go ahead boycott them.

Besides I still say the best chicken sandwich I ever had was the Smoky Mountain Market near Baptist Hospital. And the chili cheese with a pint of white? To die for after a night of heavy alcohol abuse. To test your masculinity it was Brother Jacks' pig burger, screaming.

Can’t stop laughing that you think this has to do with hate. It’s ridiculous companies keep caving to the insanity. You can create and market a good product for everyone without pandering to anyone specifically.

The whole world laughs at you lefties and your idiotic ideologies. You guys can’t help yourselves. You guys let hats, straws, stickers and flags on vehicle set you into a panic attack.

You mentioning things like Bud Light shows your idiocy.

Of course .... as a consumer, you do have the option of simply enjoying a good product for it's merits, while paying no attention to how it's being marketed.

^^^ ... and this applies to all ideologies. ^^^

It's never been as easy to avoid digital marketing as it is now, with features such as Adblock Plus and streaming services that offer ad free plans.

I like when they drop thousands of cows with parachutes. Cute as all get out. Think they did it at 97 and 98 SEC Championship games when I was there. Definitely did it at Peach Bowl wet I went. Was that against Maryland? We got skunked.

What does "Pat Tillman" their own brands mean???

Pat Tillman was the former football player (Arizona State/Arizona Cardinals) who was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan while serving as an Army Ranger. I can only imagine that using his name in such a way is a variation of "eating your own."

It's tasteless.

No it's your hate of LGBT that shows through. And the fact you guys decried cancel culture so much at one time, but you sure are practicing it with relish now.

Hypocrisy, it's what's for dinner in the Repub party.

All big corporations are going to say that same thing. Anyone who thinks otherwise is naive.

I don't feel sorry for the actions of my ancestors. There's not crap I can do about that, but I can recognize the fact that I came from at least 6 generations of college educated people. I can acknowledge that I come from what cannot be described as generational wealth, but a familial expectation of each of us earning a very good living. I did not face any sort of racism. I witnessed doors opened for me that were not open my friends who were not white. I can acknowledge this and I can have the desire to see us improve in this area without believing in reparations etc.

This has always confused me. Ground beef is around half the price of boneless skinless chicken breasts, yet it seems fast food chicken is always higher than fast food burgers.

Your confusion has confused me! So you’re confused that hamburgers cost less than chicken sandwiches when ground beef is cheaper than chicken? That seems logical. What am I missing?
