Dwyane Wade wants Dallas to buy his burgers. He wants local restaurants to cook and sell his burgers. Dwyane Wade apparently does not remember that Dallas does not care much for him and, by extension, his burgers.

Did you go to a concert at Dos Equis Pavilion this summer? More than likely you parked on land that once belonged to 300 Black families. The city of Dallas began taking their homes in the late 1960s. By 1978, they were all gone.
