Black People Loot and White People Survive

i agree, she did! and i don't think there's anything wrong with that. all of the video coverage I've seen is of people stealing things they need - diapers, food, batteries. which is why i am upset that black people are being called "looters" for taking things that they NEED. this only seems to be acknowledged when white people take what they need.

it's just one more example of the countless examples of media bias around race that i have encountered. this in itself is not a big thing, but it's just ANOTHER one.

don't know how else to explain it.

I understand what you are saying. I hadn't read the comments by the photos when I first replied. When I went back and read the comments, it was clear that there was media bias.
