The only point worth making about either, or both, of these pictures, is that here are three people up to their chests in the NO flood waters. They are attempting to survive.

So the point that the AP described the black woman as "looting" and the white woman as "finding" products in a grocery store is not worth making?

There is no "white woman" in either picture. I suggest you take a real good look at the content.

Actually, it looks like the first is from AP and the second from AFP - two different wire services, and almost certainly two different authors. Giving everyone the benefit of the doubt here, it may simply reflect the propensity of AP to label everyone a looter, where AFP is a bit more circumspect.
