First of all, it's not racist, like many of us have said, simply because it is from two seperate articles by different writers from two seperate companies.
Second of all, I don't care whether it's life or death....both pictures were of people "looting" items from a grocery store. The fact that they needed to do it or that the food would have gone bad doesn't mean that they weren't stealing. It simply means that they shouldn't be persecuted for it, or blamed for their actions. But whatever situation they're in, taking things off shelves in a grocery store is definately not what I'd call "finding".
People need to stop being so sensitive to these topics. Yes, there are many instances when racial issues are brought up subtly or not-so-subtly in the media but believe it or not, all white people and the media are not looking for ways to hint at the racial superiority or differences in every issue they speak about. If you look for anything hard enough, you can find proof of it where it does or does not exist. I really don't think this means anything.
