“The gangs and thugs adopted it as their symbol, that is why it is their symbol.
It is that simple.”
It really is that simple but “conventional wisdom” now dictates that recognizing the fact that rappers, hip hop gang bangers, and anyone who has mugged anyone or robbed a convenience store wears a hoodie is racism of the worst sort. Fall down and beg forgiveness for your “stereotyping”.

Stereotyping to me means typing with one finger on each hand.

LOL - Tourist Guy with a hoodie! :-)
I have 2 hoodies myself - one says US Navy on the front, and one says Carhardt.

Head down, hoodie pulled down around face, its both a mask for disguise and a bag for shoplifting. The perfect urban thug garb.
I wore hooded sweatshirts/jackets all the time as a kid. The hood only came up when it was actually cold.
There is no reason for a hoodie when its warm, except to advertise your thugness.

I have no intent of dancing to that liberal tune. I’m going to continue wearing my hooded sweatshirts and the thugs can kiss my gleamin white ass.
Conservatives need to stop retreating.

I don't own a hoodie but if I did it would be this one:
On the front is a really unique crest with angels adoring the Eucharist, with the words of Christ “corpus meum” meaning “this is My body” in Latin.
I have a charcoal colored t-shirt with the same graphics.

What a lost opportunity. What happened to the professional headline writers of yesteryear? Have they all croaked? Hire me. The headline should of said:
Hoodlum Hoodies in Da Hood!
To: GeronL
Anybody remember the PBS show,
School Colors ? The main thing I remember about it was the hoodie this one kid wore. It was the way he wore it, you know? and the way he acted when he wore it. It was so extreme it was almost comical.

This is complete bullshit for 50% of the population, females. Hoodies mess up our hair. Ergo, no girls in hoodies.
You males sort this carp out.

It’s a hoax that went around 10 years ago.
