Click to view attachmentI was going to put this under the Katrina thread, but figured it would hijack the thread, so I started a new one. Check out the two snippits below - the white people are "finding" food, while the African American person has been "looting" from the grocery store.

P.S. SMAN - how did you insert the pic right into the post?

Is it possible they asked the white folk and witnessed the other?

It is a sad state of affairs when we have to scrutinize every word in the newspaper.

Ask Tatt, he believes everything he reads in the Liberal Media. tongue.gif

What's the difference? Either way, there's a food shortage, and people need to eat. It's not like the white people were carrying food, and the AA person was carrying a brand new computer. Both were carrying something that is essential to live - food/beverage.

Very true, it is SAD.

I do believe the National Guard is handing our MRE's (Meals Ready to Eat). Not the greatest stuff, but it is good enough for us soldiers.

There's an IMG button at the top of the reply screen, right beside the http button. Click it, past in the web address for the image, click OK.

If the image is only on your hard drive, you'll have to attach it. The image function only works on photos that are hosted on the web.

What kills me, is that while yes this is an example of racism from the liberal media, I've seen refugees on TV actually say that BUSH is a racist because the MEDIA has made this racist choice of language in describing events. Bush isn't the one doing this - it's the Associated Press in this case.

Of course, these are the same ones who claim Bush is racist because most of the victims are black. Most of the residents of N.O. are black. I guess God is a racist because he made Katrina hit New Orleans? Or did Bush somehow make the hurricane hit where it did, too?

Written by 2 totally seperate news agencies.

AP- Looting
Agence France-Presse - Finding

I'd say it's racist if it was written by the same news agency, but it's not.
