Specifically because I live in a hot climate, I’m always fighting the feeling of being suspicious of anybody I pass in the streets with a hoodie pulled up. I feel guilty because of racial profiling associated with hoodies, but gotta protect myself and my family, especially because in many cases the perpetrators of assault and murder seen in media is somebody with a hood and/or mask on.

      i’m not only suspicious of hoodies, just feel guilty about it. a suit can definitely be suspicious under the right circumstances, but i wouldn’t feel guilty about it.
