Yahoo- Black people 'loot' things. White people just 'find' things.

Got a link or anything? I haven't heard any "updates" on the "photo-controversy".

 

Well, my mom this morning just told me this in the morning when reading the news paper, the Seattle Times.

 

Besides which, white folks loot, too. Only it's not called looting when they do it. I refer you to a widely circulated news photo of a white couple wading through chest-high water after, in the words of the caption, "finding" food. As if that loaf of bread the woman has were just lying by the side of the road.

 

I'm sorry, but I have little patience for black people who find shame in this looting. Less patience for white ones who find vindication of their bigotry. It makes me angry that some people think these are the conversations we should be having now.

So like, maybe I misunderstood. So like, I dont know >_> She told me they did find it, oh well, I take it back I guess.

I think you misread the article...

Yes, I know, when I first posted this I didnt read the article, my mom told me that it cleared up the confusing saying what they did was true. Or maybe I wasnt listening closely enough. But after IS asked me for a link, I used the website and found the same article, which said otherwise. So yah, I know. :p

I notice Yahoo have now put a statement up:

http://news.yahoo.com/page/photostatement

and AFP have asked them to remove one of the pictures (oddly, the one of them "finding" stuff, not the one of the guy "looting")

 

I know they were written by different people, with different agendas, but the fact it has happens quite often implies its symptomatic of an underlying trend, not just an isolated event. Either way, what it does show is how by changing one word in a picture's caption you can totally change its meaning.

 

I've no problem with people "looting" food and supplies... its when they start "finding" TVs and other things that I start worrying.

So what? It's extremely hilarious. If it's funny, it's excusable.

 

Certainly is. On a side-note; is this considered hilarious then?

Whats funny to one person is offensive to another. I know from experience. Honostly, I'd say that both the pictures are inexcusable, but thats just my opinion:(
