"We haven't come a long way, we've come a short way. If we hadn't come a short way, nobody would call us 'baby.'" My sources indicate that it was Elizabeth Janeway, and who am I to argue with sources?
At any rate, I encourage people to click here, so that you can see two pictures from the hurricane. One shows a couple "finders." the other, a "looter." This upsets me in ways I cannot appropriately relate in typed form.
Perhaps at least one member of the liberal media needs another lesson...

The bias you're suggesting makes me enraged, as well, but I'm not convinced that's what we're seeing in these particular photos and their captions. They're poor quality, to start with, plus we can see that the girl is carrying bread--I have no idea what is in the sack the first man is carrying. (Does the photographer?) And I can't even say with any certainty the race of the girl. In my mind, taking needed food and water is not looting--wiping out a WalMart's entire gun inventory, on the other hand, is cause for being shot on sight.
I doubt that the person who captioned the pictures even realizes the statement he/she made. But prejudice and racism are prejudice and racism whether people do it knowingly or unknowingly.
I'm with you, Steve. There's so much I want to say about this, but right now I'm completely brain dead and emotionally drained. I thought everyone I personally knew in N.O./MS/AL got out safely, but now I know that's not necessarily the case.
