The thing is quite a few people would wrong the black person, and then praise the white couple for using there initiative.
Why would people praise the White people? Aren't they doing the same thing?
Yep, they are doing the same thing.
But some people would try and justify what the white people have done, purely because they are white.

People i've talked to about it have said while they don't agree with the violent methods some are using they can understand why people are doing what they're doing, and that's for all people not just the white people. It doesn't matter what subject it is there's always going to be some people who'll have their own racist agenda to push and not miss an opportunity to do so.

Yeah, I have to say if I was in the situation that they were in I would loot food.

That's the point I'm making: the caption says the black guy has "looted" the food whereas the other caption says the white guy has "found" the food.

Oh yeah just noticed it, pretty disgraceful.

I get the impression it's a less conscious difference in attitudes.
Not so much pushing an agenda, as simply applying an inherent discrimination.
No excuse of course, but it's not as bad as thinking "a-ha - what a great chance to make black people look bad".
Personally, I'm surprised by the restraint of people only taking a couple of loaves of bread (unless they're jesus, in which case that's plent - they can pick the fish out of what used to be their back garden).
I'd have cleaned out the biscuit isle.
Actually it was probably literally the biscuit isle by the time they got there...
