CNN is intentionally slandering many blacks as "Looters"

They are constantly running a tape showing all black people carring items around and out of a Wal-Mart store. This tape is being run as footage of looters when in fact it is footage of people taking items from a Wal-Mart store that authorized people to go in and take whatever they wanted.

In fact, if you watch this tape long enough, you eventually see POLICE picking over the same items and filling up carts. This part is almost never being shown.

It seems after some confusion where the media whores started actually asking hard questions, the 'fix' is now in, talk down the death of thousands and talk up those 'dangerous blacks' rampaging through NO.

However, people have to use common sense and put this in perspective. New Orleans is a major city with a overly large poor black population. That's not to say there aren't poor whites there, but the simple fact is there are more poor blacks in the flooded areas of that city.

It shouldn't take a PHD in disaster planning to understand that if you combine the above with no foresight, no information and no way of knowing when help will arrive that people are going to do things they normally wouldn't do.

thing you do is get a "presence" on the streets. You establish order in chaos. It has a calming effect.

But take a group of people who never had that much, and now have lost everything and abandon them, what the Hell does anyone expect?

The mob mentality of the hopeless and forgotten has taken over. And the M$M love it. Can't post enough video. Flying around in their helicopters. Drop the whole damn bunch, coufs, manicures and pedicures, in the center of NOLA and let them fend for themselves.

I have never felt so helpless in my life.

why then weren't major plans made to get the people out that couldn't do it on their own. Its no secret that there were poor people there with no cars or other means to get out that city. You were in effect leaving these people to their own devices and when they take it upon themselves you are shocked by it? Come on!!!!

for the "looting" in NOLA than I do the Boardroom. That looting has been going on for five years. Where's the outrage? Oh, that's rich white folks. That's okay.

CNN is much worse.

the Daily Show point out the incredible bias of the media.

They're the only two honest reporters left on t.v.

that some of the looting is being done with the supervision of the Police. If the police are assisting residents to get basic necessities, this would explain why the MSM is accusing police of looting too.

white and black looters. And it has been explained that some of that footage was of people being given permission to take whatever. We had the film of the cops filling carts too.

Pathetic that we're getting more accurate and fair reporting here. CNN is absolutely buying into the fears of young black men. It's repulsive.

From the Columbia Daily Tribune:

"People said they’d heard that Wal-Mart had opened its doors to provide supplies for law enforcement agencies sheltering the 10,000-plus people in the Louisiana Superdome. A Wal-Mart spokeswoman, Sharon Weber, said that law enforcement, emergency management teams and relief agencies have "unwritten permission" to help themselves to whatever they need from Wal-Mart stores in times of crisis but that standard procedure is for the police or aid officials to "leave us a list of what they take, so they can pay us later."

But when law enforcement officials went to get their goods, others - people of all ages and races - followed. "They just came, and no one could stop them," said David Brown, 38, a Port of New Orleans employee."

Though if anyone has a contradictory article, I'd be happy to see it.

I was interested in seeing who wrote it. It was carried in serveral papers:

Anyone who feels a need to correspond with the reporter can reach her at the Times Picayune, no doubt:

Natalie Pompilio can be reached at npompilio@timespicayune.com or (504)826-3396.

I'm wondering if anyone knows about a group she's associated with: the Dart Center in South Africa?
