yeah this meme is being intentionally dishonest. nobody is upset about a fucking fast food chain burning down.
I wouldn't call this meme wrong. It's definitely wrong but it's more revealing how much media controls the narrative.
People genuinely believe both that the riots were more violent than they were and that they were riots at all, because the media told them.
Most people's perspective of the US is through media, then they claim the same media is bullshit. Yet that's where they get their information from. It doesn't make sense.
If it was one of the 3 that are close enough to my job to get lunch I'd be a little pissed.
