Black Looters, White Finders - Is The Media Racially-Biased About Hurricane Katrina?
The answer to the above question is yes. And why does the last sentence of this article say, "look worse than they already do?" Why is this writer also making a distinction between black and white?? Why after how many centuries of existence do some people still make distinctions based on external appearance?? This mindset is not a part of 'civilized society!'
Long Beach, CA (BlackNews.com) - It's no question that there is massive looting going on in the gulf coast area by white and black Americans. People of all colors are doing what they can to survive.
But why is the mainstream media saying that the Black people are looting supplies, and that the white people are finding supplies?
A recent report from DiversityInc.com found one picture by an AFP/Getty Images photographer and another by The Associated Press (AP) - and each had a different caption when published.
The AFP/Getty photo shows two white people with food, with the caption that they were "finding" bread and soda from a grocery store. However, the AP photo shows a black person with some food, with the caption saying he had just finished "looting" a grocery store.
Dante Lee of BlackNews.com, comments, "I've seen this variation several times, and it certainly reveals that the mainstream media is indeed racially-biased."
Pat Means of Turning Point Magazine, says, "The media must be careful in its labeling of people who are simply trying to survive. The media cannot practice racism, when everyone is doing the same thing."
Others agree that the media is definitely targeting African-Americans to make them look worse than they already do.
