As Americans confronted disturbing images from New Orleans, some bloggers had their eyes on the captions. Two photos emerged as symbols of the race and class undercurrents in Katrina's aftermath. In the one below, a black person is described as "looting" a grocery store; the white people above are "finding" bread and soda from a store. WONKETTE posted both shots and sardonically asked readers to match the two captions. Then XRLQ cried foul because the photos were from different news agencies, AP and Agence France Presse.
