Found this on another forum. I'm laughing my ass off at the stupidity displayed here.
These events happened at the same time. They're basically the same thing: People getting food. But the media still tries to portray blacks as looters, completely disregarding the hurricane and the destruction caused, and whites as 'finders'.
Don't you just love the media? |

I just find it funny that people pay so much attention to these kinds of subtleties.
Most sheeple wouldn't really care about the difference between 'looting' and 'findindg', because the pictures tell the story much better.
It's usually people looking to stir up that find these kinds of things.
Maybe it's a mistake, maybe yahoo news didn't really see the looting/finding and just hosted the stories. But it's still hilarious.

| On a second glance, the top photo is from the AP, while the second photo is from the AFP. So it's not as if a single news organization is saying white people find while black people steal. |

The fool should've hit the jewelry store or something worthwhile. Doubt if there's any value in the contents of the bag. Not much chance for fencing the goods at the moment. Biggest value at the moment would be food and drinks. Hell, I'd hit the liquor store first...
