Comparing a snowstorm in the mountains to a major hurricane destroying 80+% of a major city and its surrounding communities is absurdly invalid. How many billions of dollars worth of damage did the snowstorm cost? Was it any where near the $81.2 billion caused by Katrina? Did you even bother to learn anything about the lies you are promoting? Your point of view is clearly based on ignorant, elitist racism (I'm white, by the way) and is fed by a distorted image of Katrina that you lapped up like a sheep as the media fed it to you. 100% of St. bernard Parish was destroyed in Katrina. What's St. bernard Parish, you say? Let me inform you. It is a 4,600 sq. mile middle-class community located right next to the world-famous 9th ward that was over 88% white. Uh oh, that little tidbit of truth just can't seem to fit into the patchwork of self-serving garbage that informs your worldview. This is just one of many nationally unknown communities that were wiped out by Katrina, but you didn't bother to learn what actually happened in Louisiana because the skewed perspective you saw on the news justified what you wanted to believe. For some sick reason, you find it easier and more gratifying to accuse and demean rather than to empathize. Maybe you should sincerely ask yourself why that is. This uninformed little message that you thought was so clever boasts about heroic truck drivers selflessly pulling people out of snow banks. But are you really so deluded as to believe that you can identify yourself with that type of behavior? Based on the elitist, self-serving attitude that you display here, it is much more likely that you would be the one driving right past the stuck motorists, all the while demeaning and accusing them for getting stuck in the first place. After all, if they were as intelligent and able-bodied as you, then they would be able to forsee and avoid any and all such predicaments. If honesty or humility is anywhere to be found within you, then you will rethink your opinion about Katrina victims, both black and white. The first step will be to quit hiding behind pride and admit your own lacks and weakness. Then maybe you will be ready to learn what it means to empathize.
