At least they're not out 'looting' stores for food and water. They could learn a thing or two from the white people who are lawful enough to just 'find' their essentials in the stores that the black people are looting from.

To Brad: Thanks for the comment. I saw an article that referenced two pictures: one of white people stealing and the other of black people stealing. The former used the word 'find' and the latter used the word 'loot'. On the face of this it looks like an obvious manifestation of racism. However, someone else pointed out that the two captions were from two separate sources. Details like this make it difficult to say whether this bias really does exist in the media.
