"looting" vs "finding"
Oh yeah, and if you wanna see more inequality in reporting and racist overtones, check out the comparisons made between 2 different photos of a similar situation in the aftermath of the New Orleans hurricane...In one, a black man is wading in water dragging behind grocery items and he's described as "looting" a grocery store. In the other, a white person is shown doing similar, only it's captioned that they "found" food. Of course.
After all the online outrage that's come up about this, the picture of the white person has inexplicably been removed from it's host site for reasons of controversy over captioning, while the image of the black person is still floating around with the "looting" caption.
