Why are the looters always or mostly blacks?

The pictures the OP posted are mostly from the the Caribbean Islands of Barbados, St Kitts etc. The Island natives are black, so it's not surprising that the pictures of the looters are black. I don't understand why some people are trying to introduce a racial dimension to it, no need for it at all. When Katrina hit New Orleans, there were a lot of black looters simply because the majority of New Orleans population are black.

This is purely a population-based issue, the wider debate on the correlation between poverty/social deprivation and crime doesn't apply or fit into this thread.

The only fool here is you. I don't know if you are blind but I just told someone on this same thread to be careful of what the media presents to him undecided

The fact that the media might favour whites doesn't change the fact that African Amricans have the highest poverty rate.

Besides the screenshot you added just proves my point undecided

The camera did no justice to the picture.

Same line of thinking
They will only capture black looting but will not want to show white looting.

Explorers:
Troops are being called in to stop looters armed with guns and machetes on hurricane-ravaged St Martin with food, water and medicine running low, it has emerged.

Dutch soldiers are pictured patrolling the streets on the Dutchside of the island

Extra troops and police are arriving on the southern part of the island, which is shared between France and the Netherlands, and part of their job is to help keep order, officials said.

All those damaged cars will find theirs way to Africa soon but our car dealers can never reduce the price of Tukumbo cars.

No, I mean the way they hyped the hurricane.

Search "Berbuda" on twitter. It is an Island that was hit by Hurricane Irma at category 5. You would videos and pictures of more than 90% damage of the Island.

There are poor whites also in the affected area... Just different mentality.

You are assuming that poor White people do not loot. You are damn wrong. I have lived in North America for quite awhile. A poor man is a poor man irrespective of skin colour. As there are black looters, there are Hispanic and White looters.

It seem the White man has done a good job in making Black people to never see themselves in a good light. I remember taking a bus to catch a train to my place of work. I was standing right beside the driver who is Black and likely of Carribean origin. He asked where I was heading, I told him I was heading to the local university. The next thing he said shocked me but I was not surprised. He said where do I work there, that does the university have a bakery or something like that that I work in. He was not expecting someone of his own colour to do the kind of highly technical job I hold at the institution. I would not believe that he said that because I was in a pair of jeans. He surely would not have said the same if I was White.

A lot of Black people need help to free themselves of their badly damaged psyche. Here you see some of our people born and bred on the streets of Lagos, Enugu or elsewhere trying to sound American.
