Katrina-It Always Comes Back To Race

[harmonatrix]

Why is That?

Article: Black people loot, white people find?

This shit is why race relations never gets anywhere in this country.

The original blurbs are here: Blurb 1 & Blurb 2

And since we're on the subject: Lost in the Flood - Why no mention of race or class in TV's Katrina coverage?

Another friend brought it to my attention about a day or two ago. I personally think that reporters tend to be more prejudiced than most people. Some of them are more interested in reporting the world as they see and not as it is.

Anyway, another friend of mine posted a comparison of another sort. She's a Russian-born Jew in Israel.
