Wendy’s announced earlier this month that it would donate $500,000 to help the black community and promised “to amplify Black voices” on its Twitter account — before being targeted by rioters in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday night.

Black voices are amplified way beyond their 12% of the population. They need to get out of their echo chamber.

You’ll get some businesses in these riot areas but they’ve set those cities back 40 years.

That’s how stupid and evil the democrats are.
