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...

On another message board I frequent, someone said that the black man MUST be looting because he had a garbage bag that seemed to be full of stuff.
What the......
So one is still presumed "looting" because he has a garbage bag instead of a nice Jansport backpack? So during a major crisis, it is the type of bag a person has that will make the difference between being labeled a criminal vs a victim? Lord help us all....or me rather because I haven't owned a backpack in years.
I shake my head at people sometimes.
