(36,885 posts)GERALDO RIVERA: Well, I have a different take, Brian, on that. I believe that George Zimmerman, the overzealous neighborhood watch captain should be investigated to the fullest extent of the law and if he is criminally liable, he should be prosecuted. But I am urging the parents of black and latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies. I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin's death as George Zimmerman was.

He just basically used the "deserved to be raped because of what she was wearing" canard
to make the victim responsible for what he was wearing.

(36,885 posts)hoodies are perfectly fine. The hoodie is an apparel item that a great cross-section of people wear on a daily basis.
Now we have a Fox contributor making them a scapegoat for a horrendous murder:
Geraldo Rivera: ... "But I am urging the parents of black and latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies. I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin's death as George Zimmerman was."

(36,885 posts)To me, hoodies are the jeans of outerwear.
I am flummoxed by this attention on hoodies by Geraldo, when such a large cross-section of people wear them (especially athletes of all ages).
