    Legitimately dumbstruck by this one. What was he trying to say?

      I think he was held at gunpoint to shoehorn in anti-blm rhetoric.

      Sometimes, when I'm feeling charitable, I think people who tweet like that are just trying to get attention, any attention.

      Then I remember, no, they're really that fucking dumb.

        There is nothing WASPier than angrily denouncing The Help for failing to anticipate your every need. I'm confident his audience will eat this shit up with a snow shovel. Because yeah! Why AREN'T black people running around downtown DC catching all the snow before it hits the road? That's their job!

        Fuck, is that what we've been protesting the whole time? Silly me, I thought we were speaking out against systemic injustices. TY for the correction, comrade o7

      That type of snow always happens every year in DC too so the dude just complaining just to complain. And the snow will be there next year probably within a few weeks of this storm.

    What is the photo even supposed to be showing? I just see a normal road. Who's "they"? What is this even trying to communicate?

      Nothing more Christian than blaming black people for snow on your windshield.

        Holy shit, it's a Christian network? I saw the C and assumed it stood for the same thing as the CNN's C does. So yeah, this guy's definitely a psycho.

    Doesn't DC get snow regularly?

    For a place that's used to snow this really is nothing. Bonus points for driving while taking a pic.

    If this were Texas then shut everything down because no one there knows how to drive on snow with all seasons in heavy pickups/SUVs. But in DC this shouldn't even be a noteworthy amount of snow.

        Completely agree on all counts, but a light POS corolla on all seasons actually probably does better stopping-distance wise than an unnecessary rear wheel drive pickup with nothing in the bed that I imagine many southerners drive.

        I find if you can afford the up-front cost of snow tires and a cheap set of steel rims so you don't have to get the rubber taken off the wheel every time then it's not actually more expensive to get winter tires even if storage is a slight pain. Because your all seasons last longer since you aren't using them for a few months per year.

        People not used to snow driving generally under-estimate the momentum a heavy vehicle has in any sort of snowfall.

    Lol wait a second...did he open his camera app and take a screenshot? I didn't even know that was a thing. That's some funny ass shit

      It's cropped too. Maybe he's just trying to show off that he has a newer iPhone with 2.5x zoom?

    Black people made him take his phone out while driving and take a photo of an inch of snow without his wipers on.

    I live in Iowa. You'd think after yearly snows that measure into the fucktons they'd have figured out a better way to clear roads more quickly. Add on the fact that chuds in their comically large trucks forget how to drive in any amount of ice/snow every year and almost kill someone stopping at a stop sign.

    But you know Iowa is a majority black state so it's their fault.
