Why the difference? Did they both not take items that didn't belong to them? A large number of the people who are left in N.O. are Black/poor and have been protrayed like animals in my opinion. In desperate times who knows what you'd do to stay alive...

Here are photo's that are stirring up all the controversy. Personally i think it probably has to do with the different sources of the photo's more than it has to do with racism. Yahoo says on their site that they take the captions and photos as is from the different wire services and don't edit either, so they are really just the messenger of the photos.
