Cathy's comments were not the only controversial remarks during the roundtable. Giglio was widely criticized for suggesting people should use the term "white blessing" instead of "white privilege," reports Fox News. Giglio said White people "understand the curse" that was slavery, but "we miss the blessing of slavery, that it actually built up the framework for the world that White people live in." Giglio apologized for his "horrible choice of words" in a Twitter video. Moore also said he was "very uncomfortable" and "wasn't okay with" Giglio's comments.

In November 2019, Chick-fil-A said it would stop donating to the Salvation Army and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, two organizations that have controversial stands on same-sex marriage and homosexuality. The company said it would only donate to local food banks and organizations that work on education, hunger and homelessness, CNN reports.

On Thursday, Chick-fil-A announced it plans to give $5 million in grants to Black-led nonprofits and other organizations helping the Black community. It will also quadruple the 2019 True Inspiration Award grants. "As a company, we are making a pledge to take action against racial injustice," Rodney Bullard, vice president of corporate social responsibility for Chick-fil-A, said in a statement. "The True Inspiration Awards have always been a platform to give back locally where our restaurants serve and by redirecting our grants to organizations supporting communities of color, we believe we can make an impact."
