Not sure about that choice of word myself.

The man could be pushing the man into the coffin or pulling him out of it. It's an odd angle to pull someone out though the way the foot turn. </div></div>

This one is really questionable. Because if he was pulling him from the coffin he would be lifting the top part of the body first. I am in disbelief that the security would shot someone in this devastation. Some news that is coming outside of Haiti is very questionable indeed.

Re: haiti relief racism effort

world media is used to seeing degrading images of blacks- there are never any shortages;
the real question is when these so-called blacks (africans) will realize that a world conspiracy played the major part in their present condition around the world and decide that new philosophies must be given a try...
it is our responsibility to improve our lot, not others responsibility...
hopefully this tragedy helps to wake up a few from their sleepless slumber and see how precarious our world status really is

Re: haiti relief racism effort

this morning i heard soledad o'brien say she is staying in a hotel - across the street from &quot;tent city&quot; and a stones throw from the presidental palace

how come that place is not being used as a hospital or housing

this whole &quot;rescue&quot; is very strange to me

In a place with little roads and what little is there is damaged.

I am not saying this is normal, but you focused on race and perception. My question is what would you say these photos depict [They are from boston.com and represent photos taken on the 6th day after the earthquake:



Body of a male person burning in the streets



Photo of male youth relieving the dead body of a man shot by security in the street of Port Au Prince



Youth with dagger drawn argue with others in Port Au Prince



Man disgorges the body of a male person out of a coffin in Port Au Prince

Methinks reports of Haitians as lawless thugs are exaggerated.

Yes, there is a great deal of condescension in reports and statements regarding Haiti. It makes my stomach turn.

The captions are mine to see original captions go to the Big Picture site on boston.com.
The original captions are from a first person basis and my interpretation accurately reflect them.
But it good that you say that because this is precisely the problem.
How can we accept by one man's conclusion and charges of racism in the distribution without overstanding the other issues such as logistics and the safety of the folks operating near an active aircraft?
