Help! I need the pic of Katrina - Black looters/White finders...

Remember the graphic that combines two newspaper pics with captions -- black people 'loot' / white people 'find'...

Can someone direct me to it?

Thanks! IndyOp

4. Here...and the snopes article about them

Edited on Wed Mar-01-06 10:25 AM by seriousstan

But you may want to read the snopes article to get the facts straight...

A Salon article on the photographs by Aaron Kinney suggests the captions were a result of a combination of contexual and stylistic differences:
Jack Stokes, AP's director of media relations, confirmed today that Martin says he witnessed the people in his images looting a grocery store. "He saw the person go into the shop and take the goods," Stokes said, "and that's why he wrote 'looting' in the caption."

Regarding the AFP/Getty "finding" photo by Graythen, Getty spokeswoman Bridget Russel said, "This is obviously a big tragedy down there, so we're being careful with how we credit these photos." Russel said that Graythen had discussed the image in question with his editor and that if Graythen didn't witness the two people in the image in the act of looting, then he couldn't say they were looting.
The photographer who took the Getty/AFP picture, Chris Graythen, also posted the reasons behind his caption:
I wrote the caption about the two people who 'found' the items. I believed in my opinion, that they did simply find them, and not 'looted' them in the definition of the word. The people were swimming in chest deep water, and there were other people in the water, both white and black. I looked for the best picture. there were a million items floating in the water � we were right near a grocery store that had 5+ feet of water in it. it had no doors. the water was moving, and the stuff was floating away. These people were not ducking into a store and busting down windows to get electronics. They picked up bread and cokes that were floating in the water. They would have floated away anyhow.

6. I do remember this clarification...

I also think that the difference in what the public/media thought of blacks and whites was real.

11. Funny, why do people assume that girl in left pix is WHITE?

Yet another example of the prejudice and hypocracy of too many on the Left.

13. I noticed the girl before too - and wondered the same...

Because the guy behind her is white? Maybe there were other photos in which there is a close up of her that resolves the issue?
