Is Snopes a credible news source? I'm not bashing you Q I just keep seeing links but I'm not sure what it is.

"Q: How do I know the information you've presented is accurate?

A: We don't expect anyone to accept us as the ultimate authority on any topic, which is why our site's name indicates that it contains reference pages. Unlike the plethora of anonymous individuals who create and send the unsigned, unsourced e-mail messages that are forwarded all over the Internet, we show our work. The research materials we've used in the preparation of any particular page are listed in the bibliography displayed at the bottom of that page so that readers who wish to verify the validity of our information may check those sources for themselves.

I saw something about the looting link on the news last night. Unconsious racism pisses me off as much when its intentional.
