This is pretty shocking form...

Note how the black person is a 'looter' and the white person is a 'finder'... all of these images appeared on Yahoo news.

Also check out Kanye West steping up, someone actually saying what they think for a change... can't have that!!

Looting vs Finding Chris Graythen, an AFP photographer in New Orleans (skip down to his post) who shot the photo of two white people "finding" goods in the floodwaters, defends his caption. "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." Meanwhile, the editor for the photog of the "looting" image says that he actually saw the looting occur. "'He saw the person go into the shop and take the goods,' Stokes said, 'and that's why he wrote 'looting' in the caption.'"
Also, note the reports come from two different news agencies, they've just been aggregated together by yahoo.

Although I'm sure there's gotta racial bias in the general reporting of this thing.

Have you got the Kayne West thing so you can upload it somewhere? The link you give is dead - I wanna see it.

It's pretty funny - I wonder if Mike Myers knows he's gonna say that about Bush?

Kayne West seems kinda cool - he recently spoke out about how fags are bashed so badly in hip hop as well http://www.planetout.com/news/article.html?2005/08/18/1

Yeah Mike Myers is totally reading off the auto-prompt and Kanye just goes freestyle on his arse... you can see the nervousness in his eyes and hear it in his voice though... I bet he's thinking 'Am I going to get shot for this???'

Did you guys notice that most of the people interviewed on tele last night from houston where black americans. Nice of the US media to take the heat of Bushy boy. twangers! If he'd shot his load all over a white house staff members dress he'd be hung, drawn and quartered!
