@jon-nyc said in Woke Whites:
CEO of Chick-fil-A urged whites to shine the shoes of black people to show a “sense of shame.”
Really?
Most footwear worn today doesn’t lend itself to that sort of thing. I’m not sure exactly how much one has to do to earn a shoe shine badge?

Wow. Not the guy I expect to see performative progressivism from.
'I invite folks to put some words to action, and if we need to find somebody who needs to have their shoes shined, we need to just go right on over and shine their shoes,' the CEO said as he crouched over Moore's sneakers with a brush.

Snopes gave this story a True/False Mixture rating:
"What's True
A video shows Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy telling a story about racism before symbolically shining the shoes of Lecrae, a Black musician.What's False
However, this is not a direct quote from Cathy. Some headlines paraphrasing his remarks misrepresented Cathy's message.""In the video, Cathy invites all people, not just white people, to shine the shoes of anyone (not just Black people).
He then says, "I invite folks just to put some words to action here and if we need to find somebody that needs to have their shoes shined, we need to just go right on over and shine their shoes. Whether they got tennis shoes on or not — maybe they got sandals on — it really doesn’t matter. But, there’s a time in which we need to have some personal action here. Maybe we need to give them a hug, too."

Hmmm, OK, I guess I could do that.
But only if they give me a little tap dance afterward.
