- Christian hip hop artist Lecrae is getting backlash for what he DIDN'T say.
- He was on a panel with the CEO of Chic-Fil-A and Atlanta megachurch pastor Louie Giglio.
- The pastor said slavery was a "blessing." He said it built up the framework for the world that white people live in.
- While he was talking, Lecrae is seen in the video nodding his head.
- Social media let both Lecrae and the pastor have it!
- People were mad at Lecrae for sitting quietly and not interjecting. In an interview he explained that he didn't speak up because he was shocked and processing what was being said.
- He said he was also being gracious and diplomatic by not interrupting. He realizes now that was not the time to be gracious or diplomatic.
- Both men have apologized on social media.
