This Makes Me Nauseous
I found this over on Kami's site, The Dallas Ks, and decided I would post it
too. I knew that our media was biased, but this just makes me sick in the pit of
my stomach. **EDITED TO ADD. I wanted to clarify that the entire meaning behind
this post is the disgust with our media. This is by no means a racial statement
on my behalf. I just believe that the media has gone overboard and needs to
learn how to be consistent in their vocabulary. "Find" and "Loot" do not have
the same legal connotations and those two who "found" the bread and soda are
just as guilty of "looting" as the kid.**

Hey, I've looked a little closer at where those pics came from. The one of the
black guy is a pic that is one of many in a photo story of people who looted a
nearby drugstore stealing anything they could get. The one of the white people
it part of a story that talks about how everyone is out of food and how they are
finding it.. The pictures have nothing to do with one another and were
distributed by different presses for different purposes. I did contact Yahoo and
let them know of the problem.

I understand that the black kid might have been stealing everything that he
could get his hands on... but the white kids stealing bread and soda is still
STEALING and LOOTING no matter how you look at it.

I agree. They are both stealing. But, correct me if I am wrong, the issue was
that Yahoo, in an act of press bias, labeled the black person of stealing and
the white people of "finding".
What I am trying to say is that the two photos are from two different places,
written by two different people on two different continents but were both placed
on Yahoo.
