Geraldo Back On The Hoodie Warpath



Geraldo Rivera – who blamed Trayvon Martin's hoodie for his death and then apologized for his comments after they ignited a firestorm – is once again suggesting that minorities wearing hoodies are fair game to be thought of as criminals. On Fox & Friends yesterday, Rivera said about the subject, “Sometimes stereotyping exists because it's based on reality. That's unfortunately the world we live in.”

Is he suggesting that when he was wearing that hoodie he should have been stereotyped and if someone felt threatened by that stereotype they had the right to shoot him? Oh no, I forgot he is white and he specifically said blacks and hispanics are the ones who look like thugs in hoodies. Don't you dare call him a racist though because that would be playing the "race card" and only white Republicans can comment on racial issues without playing the race card.

word be uttered by Geraldo. I wish they would have thrown the traitor in prison for giving troop positions away during a time of war.

Stupid kills.
