Is a picture worth a thousand
words? Or is it the words that make the picture?
When Kanye West made "the comment" last night, a Fox network spokesperson later commented that NBC should have pulled the plug on him. However, it seems to me that Mr. West was on point. The sad truth of the matter is that poor people in America face a very hard life. If you are a poor person of color, you are invisible, to say the least.
Kanye West is my hero

A Thousand Words
The photograph by Agence France Presse shows two white hurricane survivors carrying food as they wade through flood waters. The caption reads, "Two residents wade through chest-deep water after finding bread and soda from a local grocery store after Hurricane Katrina came through the area in New Orleans, Louisiana."
The second, by the Associated Press, shows a black man, who also carries food. The caption reads, "A young man walks through chest deep flood water after looting a grocery store in New Orleans on Tuesday, Aug. 30 2005. Flood waters continue to rise in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina did extensive damage..."
Critics, including Salon.com, focused on the words "finding" and "looting."
In a statement, Yahoo News says AFP asked them to pull the photos, and they have complied: "Since the controversy began, the supplier of one of the photos – AFP – has asked all its clients to remove the photo from their databases. Yahoo! News has complied with the AFP request."
Some, defending the captions, note that the photographs are from two separate agencies, and say that they are not necessarily racist in nature.
