There’s nothing wrong with us “people.”

I wear a black, hooded sweater, wouldn’t call it a “hoodie.” I’m a 52 year old white woman, but there is no way anyone is going to take me for a possible criminal.I usually don’t wear the hood up over my face. That’s what Geraldo was getting at—sort of like DWB or DWH. It’s the combo of hoodie and pants down past their butts, being of color, and being in the wrong place at the wrong time, or what another person perceives to be the wrong place/wrong time.

Thanks for explaining it to me. I’m clearly not informed. I do wear a garment called a “hoodie” which I’ve worn for years. It is black and it keeps me warm. I sometimes pull the hood up to keep my head warm. Was not aware that this was so controversial. Now I know.
