Beating the horse

[pecunium]

Yesterday, in the post which went berserk, I allowed as perhaps the problem was that the photographers/press agencies were different and that might account for the difference in the captions.

killslowly pointed me to this post at blackfolk, where Agence France Press, which did the first photo; of the white folks, had another photo, with a black woman.

The black woman was described as a looter.

On te flip side, it gladdens my heart to know Making Light, Steve Gilliard, Pandagon, Atrios, and a host of others all saw this (at about the same time) and it pissed them off.

Slivers of hope.
