Interesting how quickly the term is applied during situations when the participants happen to be, not to put too fine a point on it, black. #
"Looting" privileges the object above the human being. Let's change the language. In #Haiti right now "looters" = food foragers. #
Please can we stop using the term "looting" to describe the most basic human response to hunger - finding ways to subsist? #haiti #
Many Haitians I know best have been extraordinarily fortunate; they are safe and their families are accounted for. This is not true for all! #
