Here’s a quick breakdown of Geraldo Rivera’s Trayvon Martin segment on the show Fox & Friends:
0:01 – 0:18 – Talking about how George Zimmerman, "the person responsible for gunning down Trayvon Martin should be investigated to the full extent of the law."
0:19 – 2:55 – Goes on an asinine diatribe about how black & latino people shouldn’t wear hoodies, and how white people cross the street when someone of a darker color is walking towards them.

No, you aren’t watching a throwback clip from a news show taking place during the 50′s, 60′s, or even 70′s. It took place in 2012 … this morning. Rivera’s mustache is too big & grey for this to take place in the past.
It’s rare that I’m left speechless by anything said on mainstream news/infotainment, but this left my jaw on the floor. I’m still scrambling to pick it up. As I was just getting it back into place, I saw Rivera backed up his segment with a tweet....

LOL!
Jerry Rivers is a blithering idiot.
Hey Geraldo, the perp is Hispanic!
What kind of man are you, who cannot stand up straight, show your face, hold your place and speak your peace?
If you can't make your peaceful intentions clear, it's perfectly natural for someone to suspect you.
If I had a son who took up the habit of skulking around in a hoodie, he'd be in big trouble with ME.
Wasn't he the guy who failed to find a hoody in Al Capone's vault?
;-)
Why is he and Sarpton/Jackson and the “soft” State-run Media NOT covering THIS story???

Oh the irony. Jerry Rivers is a white guy who tries to pass himself off as Hispanic.
He has a good point. When you dress like a gang banger wannabie, people may mistake you for a gang member. If he had been dressed like Tiger Woods, he would be alive today.
That was one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen on TV. :-)
“Goes on an asinine diatribe about how black & latino people shouldn’t wear hoodies, “
I’m with Geraldo on this one. People who wear hoodies when it’s not freezing out or pouring-down rain are creepy, nefarious looking people. Red, yellow, black, white... I don’t care what the person’s color is. I’d steer clear of anyone in the area wearing a hoodie.
I think the writer's point was that Geraldo was race-baiting. He repeatedly referred to "blacks, latinos, and people of color" as the ones who shouldn't wear hoodies. The writer puts it this way at the end of the piece:
"As an avid hoody wearer, I’ve only been given hassle a couple of times when I forget to put my hood down when entering a bank. Which makes sense, considering I was in a bank. I guess it doesn’t matter though since I’m white as Miracle Whip, which according to Rivera’s formula makes it ok for me to wear one."
I agree with you.
When you outlaw hoodies only outlaws will have hoodies....oh wait...
Just wait, Geraldo will be doing a 2 hour special on “American Hoody-American Crime” any day.
Check your local listings for times in your area! ;-)
Spoken like a free market capitalist! :)
I don’t care who said it. Walking around in one of those things is like dressing like a biker. It’s not without a suggested image.
