79. The Minute I heard "Martial Law" was in place, I knew!
Yup. Hurry! Save all the rich folks "stuff," while people all around are waving from rooftops to be rescued!

I can't believe in just a few short months our entire history has been erased. Years of hard work, all down the drain, but only to them and if we let them, right!

Not that people who complain about looters are racist, but that it is a similar comparison to me.

98. And it could be that he had
Pampers and water bottles and stuff a family trapped in a house needed to make it through another day when they could get out. Maybe he is actually a hero, taking stuff to some old folks who can't get out. Truth is we don't know. He could be taking advantage of a horrible situation - but we don't know and shouldn't make assumptions about his or the white couple.

As you pointed, the differences in the two captions is just plain wrong.

Thanks for catching it and bringing it to our attention. I think Stewart would be the one to do this justice.

10. Wow!
And they're *both* wading through chest-deep water. If the boy had been leaving a broken-out store front, at least there might be some grounds for use of the word "looting," but as it is, there is no justification whatsoever.

This needs to be highlighted in the media. Olberman should love it.

53. They're wading through chest-deep water contaminated w/ gas & raw sewage.
Edited on Tue Aug-30-05 07:05 PM by CottonBear
The VP of Tulane University Hospital said the nasty sewage/chemical water is in the first floor of the hospital which is being evacuated.

She just was interviewed live on WDSU:
http://www.wdsu.com/video/4907831/detail.html

Her eyewitness report was chilling: She could see outside
ARMED men wearing mink coats riding in 30' fishing boats down the flooded main street past the hospital and stopping to loot and ransack the cars in the hospital parking lots and deck while the staff is trying to evacuate the patients. (All critical care patients are already evacuated.) These men are modern day urban pirates. These are NOT nice looters. Hell, they've gone beyond looting. I can see how it all came about though. :( :( :(

14. beyond shameful
the racism in this country is breathtaking. My neighbor is a racist. It comes out when she drinks. I deplore it when she does it and I tell her so --- I have actually said "that's completely racists, what you just said" and she backpeddles yada yada, I'm not a racist.

This is the whole problem with this country. Michael Moore was right in Bowling for Columbine. This is a sick and twisted culture here.

35. A white guy was waving a confederate flag to greet * in Rancho Cucomongo
He circled the block, waving that hideous, enpormous flag out the driver's window. The bushies cheered. Then, he jumped out and stood front and center. They loved him even more.

This is bush's Amerikkka. Welcome. There's a docile woman in every kitchen and a hood and sheet hanging in every closet.

39. Police officers in N.O. said to the people that "you gotta do what
you need to to survive". This was after the cops moved food to anothe location for people in need elsewhere. They understand the need of the people. They understand these stores have the things for survival.

106. Even in last night's (Monday, the 29th) show, Keith was talking
sarcastically of police stopping looters of groceries and Pampers. He "gets" it - but I do think that pointing out the blatant racism of these media stories to him is a good idea. He would hate it and maybe find a way to put it into one of his reports.

112. How can it be racism? Sorry
but allthe pictures of looters DID show them to be black...do you think the reporters from the NORTH were purposely only showing black looters and avoiding white looters? or possibly there were no white looters?

But actually what does it matter as long as they were not violent, which they were when they shot a cop.

All that stuff is going to be under water anyway.

And maybe they will be too. Although since they're the ones that looted the guns...they could always use armed force to say "we're going to be the first outta here."

It''s just not a nice situation at all.

122. The only way to maintain control in that kind of situation is to
convince people that SOMEONE is in control and is going to help them in their time of need. Tell me, how did our federal, state and local agencies do? I think that pandemonium was guaranteed once those levees burst. The government, (You know, the one that Republicans are trying to drown in the bathtub?), barely had enough resources to evacuate people and had to forgo shoring up a levee in order to do so, which may cause more problems down the road.

We are seeing the "Lord of the Flies" happen in our own country and it was very predictable. Republicans play policy too close to the edge. They are unfit to lead us out of a crisis, because, in all likelihood, they were the ones that created the crisis in the first place due to neglect.

67. Today is a day for tears
Tears for those who suffer in the wake of Katrina .......

Tears for those who suffer the indignity of racial bias on a daily basis ......

Tears for the lack of humaity it takes for a nation to be this cold hearted ......

And on cable and AM radio the spew goes on ..... and on ...... and on ....

Hatred is the "Greed" of this decade. The trait that separates the good from the bad and the ugly.

And, mostly blacks (CNN today) whom couldn't make it out of the city as rescue workers help to save them. Some reporter talking to Wolf made comments from emails (i.e.) those people should have gotten out of town, would have saved backs of rescue workers, etc.

And I thought, well... many were probably not as fortunate to have a big ole SUV to hop into to get out of town, much less afford to have a place to stay in the meantime, etc.

88. Read What CNN Had Posted "FIRST" on the List of Importance
http://www.cnn.com/

Conditions worsen in New Orleans

# Looting and shootings reported in New Orleans
# Critical patients being airlifted, shelters being evacuated
# New Orleans mayor: Bodies being pushed to the side
# Coast Guard reserves mandatory call up ordered
# Paint marks indicate Mississippi homes with bodies
# Death toll officially around 70 but expected to rise

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/08/30/katrina/index.html

I'm sorry, but I think "looting" is the last thing to worry about. Seems to me lives are more important. Maybe it's me, but there can't be much to "loot," now, can there. Can't have those pesky poor Insurance (Wall Street) Investors loosing to "looters," now can they.

90. And This
"Deteriorating conditions in New Orleans will force authorities to evacuate the tens of thousands of people at city shelters, including the Superdome, where a policeman told CNN unrest was escalating.

The officer expressed concern that the situation could worsen overnight after three shootings, looting and a number of attempted carjackings during the afternoon."


http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/08/30/katrina/index.html

So, in between reporting about lives lost, waters rising, devastation of losing one of our most beautiful historic cities, unprotected when there could and should have been aide (our Guard) well before the storm even hit groundfall, this is how they report loss of lives, homes, a city.

115. Do you remember what Donald Rumsfeld said about the LOOTING in Iraq?
He pretty much shrugged and said it comes with the territory of becoming a democracy. No big deal.

So where's that attitude now with NO? All of a sudden people trying to survive the best way they know how are important enough to make it first on a list of "immediate concerns" as "looters."

Oh, the hypocrisy.

117. I sent the following to the AP
This evening I encountered two photographs of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina that were almost identical. Unfortunately for you, the differences were startling.

Your photo with the blurb: "A young man walks through chest deep flood water after looting a grocery store in New Orleans on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2005. Flood waters continue to rise in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina did extensive damage when it made landfall on Monday. (AP Photo/Dave Martin)"

http://news.yahoo.com/photo/050830/480/ladm10208301530

And another photo of WHITE PEOPLE with the blurb: "Two residents wade through chest-deep water after finding bread and soda from a local grocery store after Hurricane Katrina came through the area in New Orleans, Louisiana.(AFP/Getty Images/Chris Graythen)"

http://news.yahoo.com/photo/050830/photos_ts_afp/050830071810_shxwaoma_photo1

The two photos appear to have been taken in a similar area of water at a similar time of day. The major difference was the blatent RACISM you displayed in your caption and the obviously caucaso-centric forgiveness of the other caption.

You should be ashamed!!!

124. *SIGH* PLEASE stop making fools of us with this.
The AFP and the AP *ARE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE*. If it were from the same agency, this would be hugely racist, but as it stands, it looks like the AFP calls people who steal stuff during a crisis "finding" and the AP calls them "looters".

Some newspapers call them "militants" and others call them "terrorists". If you look, you'll see that other AFP pictures *OF AFRICAN-AMERICANS* also say that they "found" things. Look at the caption on this one:
http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/050831/480/msrs11408310229

"These individuals were photographed exiting a closed store along the beachfront carrying bags of merchandise."

I don't deny for a second that racism exists, in the media and in the culture at large, but surely there are better examples than two different photographs with two different cutlines from two different media outlets.

123. This is nothing new with the way MSM portrays Black Folks!
Edited on Wed Aug-31-05 06:36 AM by ariesgem
With us (African Americans), the media has always gone out of their way to show us as "looters, savages & rioters" during any civil disobedience.

If there's rioting, burning and/or looting in the streets say, after a hockey game final involving drunken white hockey fans, the media will use a softer term like "rebel rousers" or something of the sort although the actions of looting and destroying property are the same.

I cannot believe that there was absolutely no looting going on in the poor white areas of NO or in Mississippi under these desperate circumstances. The media will NEVER show them on TV or at best, change the wording to "finding or salvaging" instead of LOOTING. When the majority of anchors, reporters and camera people covering African Americans are white, some of them only know ONE WAY to portray us.

During the 92' riots I was (and still reside) in Los Angeles. Yes, there was rioting & looting going on in the black & brown neighborhoods, but the national media failed to show the white people that were looting & burning stores on the westside (the upper middle class white areas of town). They kept looping the same footage of the black (and brown) folks in South Central over & over & over until Blacks = Looters is INGRAINED in everyone's head.

It makes me sick! I HATE MSM.

PS- Great Find :thumbsup:

126. Colossal Bandits Keep it all with police protection
Racism is a cornerstone of America. Nothing has changed and noone wants to talk about it. Even here at DU it is a topic rarely broached and is really so deeply internalized that I think alot of people, liberals included, don't see how much this evil is embedded in the fabric of our everyday lives. When will we ever admit this and address this. Still separate-Still unequal.

from d.a. levy
"Really"
                     the police try to protect
                     the banks - and everything else

The photo of the black kid can also be found at CNN.com in the "Gallery" under "Special Report" on Katrina. Link is on the front page at CNN.com. The blurb takes the high road:

A young man drags groceries through chest-deep water in New Orleans on Tuesday.

146. Are they captioned by the same person?
Could it be a difference in perspectives?

152. Thanks
I couldn't fall asleep for hours after seeing that. My heart was pounding, I was so damn mad.

I noticed AFP pulled the "White people find" picture this morning. Gee, I wonder if somebody got on 'em about it... :grr:

155. This is blatant and repellent racism by the MSM
unfortunately It takes something as obvious as these photos for people to realize the extend and the systemic discrimination these institutions have practiced for decades

156. Holy shit, I saw that woman interviewed today!!
She said she "had to LOOT the grocery store for food and water." on CNN or MSRNC. It really pisses me off when all I see is 90% of these desporate people carrying food cloth and sneakers - yet the MSM is calling them looters. Fuck Walmart, it was good to see it get the piss looted out of it.
