Hey everyone, this is my first time posting here so if its a lame topic, just tell me its lame.
Well, my friend found this article (both from Yahoo) about looting in New Orleans after the hurricane.
in one article with the white peoople it says...
"Two residents wade through chest-deep water after FINDING bread and soda from a local grocery store"
on the other hand, the other article says...
"A young man walks through chest deep flood water after LOOTING a grocery store"
Isn't it funny how black people "LOOT" but white people
"FIND"? Look closely on the attached pics. I printed the screen as jpeg just in case Yahoo fixes this.

Hi.
I wouldn't be so quick to jump the gun. The two pictures seem to have difference sources - AFP (?) and Associated Press. It may just be different choices of the word by two different writers.
That said, I do believe that whoever wrote the caption for the second picture (with the black person) could have been more careful. Taking food from a store in an emergency situation like that hardly qualifies as "looting."

From the pictures, it's blatant both are doing similiar things so the captions pissed me off.
However, on AP's site there's an article on looting.

Maybe they had a shot of a looter and captioned it appropriately.
Also, bread floats, so "found" is fitting.
But a does a case of Pepsi float?
