Once the imageshack dies, you'll be able to look at the picture captions in question on the second site.

Basically, it's two similar pictures of NO flooding victims wading through water carrying food/water.  One of the pictures has white people, one black.  The one with the whites refers to them as having "found" food/water in a grocery store; the latter refers to the black man as having "looted" the food/water from a grocery store.  Interesting word choice.

The looting, rape and shooting stories were based on rumours and have largely been proven false. Most of the so-called looting was for food and water. OTOH, the police were happy to help themselves to Cadillacs.
