From my friend Rick:
It usually takes a lot to get under my skin but this has me truly burnt.
Click on each of the two links below read each article and look at the pictures to see what I mean.Rick
One picture with white people shoulder deep in water trying to survive has the following caption:
Two residents wade through chest-deep water after finding bread and soda from a local grocery store after Hurricane Katrina came through the area in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The 2nd picture, with a black youth in the same situation, has the following caption:
A young man walks through chest deep flood water after looting a grocery store in New Orleans on Tuesday, Aug. 30, 2005.
So, according to AP, Black=Loot and White = find. Got it.
My view: Water & Bread: Survival
Beer and Televisions: Looting
Clarification: The first picture was from AFP, not AP, so while I can be critical of the looting term, I cannot accuse AP of outright duplicity. Thanks to Kip Esquire for catching that.

One picture/caption was from Agence France Presse (AFP), not the Associated press (AP).
