Don't be so disingenuous as to not believe that some here equate black with "hood." And not the type you wear on your head.

I understand that this story evokes passionate opinions and rhetoric, but there's no reason to impugn people. You asked a question and I attempted to provide a possible answer.

That said, of course I realize some people equate "hood" with black. I have no idea why that would be.
It's a mystery.

I just use Occam’s razor instead of trying to figure out why people are not what they appear.

Your disingenuousness has been noted.
