hoodies have actually been around long before media brought light to alleged 'thugs' using them

thieves also use purses, but the shallow masses havent yet started labeling that particular accessory as thief apparel....


hoodies have been in colleges around the country for years, college fraternities wear them, jocks wear them,,, but we do suddenly have the spotlight put on one particular person who was killed wearing one and it becomes a justifiable profiling measure


sad,,but whatever floats peoples boats

Im still much more used to and comfortable seeing a man in a hoodie (usually younger people and the less well off) than carrying a 'ladys' umbrella (usually the metrosexual, businessman, or chivalrous partner)

when its merely sprinkling outside,,,

what an enlightening thread

prejudices galore


from hooded sweatshirt wearers being thug criminals (i have been wearing hooded sweatshirts for 50 years...and no crimminal record neither)

to well if i ain't cold you shouldn't be neither


everyone is different if not DNA would be useless

Hoody plus sun glasses = the unibomber.

Once after I was attacked on the street, anyone walking towards me was a suspect.
