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 are somebody with a hood and/or mask on.

    I feel like most of the time, people wearing a hoodie (w the hood on), don’t want to be interacted with, nor do they wish to interact with others. At least that’s how I feel. No need to feel bad a out it.

      that’s a good point. if i’m avoiding them because i think they’re suspicious, it’s giving them the space that they want anyways.
