AP controversy, part II: White people "shop"; black people "loot"

As one person looks through their shopping bag, left, another jumps through a broken window, while leaving a convenience store on the I-10 service road south, in Metairie, La., Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2005, in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. This photo was taken during a helicopter tour of the area that included the governor of Louisiana. (AP Photo/Bill Feig, Pool)

1. Oh,for Gawd's sake!
I can't believe this. I don't understand why they have to make such a difference. We are all HUMANS. This kind of shit going on in this day and age is unacceptable.

No bother to authenticate what this man claims. I guess his word is good enough for the AP who try to make his looting of a higher caliber than all of the other looters.
