Racism in news stories (Katrina)
From the same news wire, read the captions:
White people:

Black people:
http://news.yahoo.com/photo/050830/480/ladm10208301530
WTF, they're doing the same thing and it's "finding" vs "looting"
Sad._______________
From a "Family" reviewer: "We Cheer teaches coordination, enticement to lust, women being used as sex objects, and team work."
From Worthy Playing: "We Cheer is, then, for all intents and purposes, the F-Zero GX of music games. It asks for so much, yet forgives so little. It is actually so casual that it's hardcore."

They're real links. I'm just wondering how long before yahoo! pulls them due to public outrage. Originally Posted by Kommander_KornFlakes

quite funny, but true.. yahoo just grabs the new streams from the news agencies. It's the news agencies that are racist that are owned by the ppl that own the worlds media outlets. Nothing new.

Yahoo just gets their stories from the AP through RSS

Plus these two stories are from different sources. If they were from the same source then I would be saying the same thing.

Maybe I'm missing the point. The white couple have backpacks on, which are more than likely personal belongings. The second picture, it looks the kid is carrying a case of pepsi! They probably watched him walk out of the grocery store..
Edit: NM, didn't read the story for the white people.

i would expect the french media (AFP) to be generally less slanted and biased than american one (AP), as is evident here
