Four White Women in Hoodies

If you let them go as they please, the mall will eventually shut down. No one likes to feel threatened. I've seen it happen before. White people quit attending the mall. Stores start to lose money. But more and more blacks with hoodies and pants down to their knees keep walking around. Stores start closing. No body who planned on spending any money comes any more. The blacks with their low riding pants and hoodies stand around and wonder what is happened to the stores. No one can say anything, cause you're a racist if you do. So stores just quietly close up. Then the mall can't get no more stores to come in. And of course, no one knows why. And it closes down. Then the blacks are up in arms cause their mall has been taken away.

If it wern't so true, it would be funny. Cause and affect. Self defeating. Self destruction.

Four White women with hoodies don't typically rob banks or beat up people... just as Four Black men in hoodies don't typically do it either. Do more Black men in hoodies commit crimes than Women in hoodies? Sure... but is that really justification on selective rule/law enforcement? Either remove the rule and continue to ignore the 4 White women, or enforce it on all people, indiscriminately. No?

I don't know... I think a lot of people are doing more shopping online than in the stores these days. Maybe you're onto something and malls are less populated out of fear of Black people in hoodies or with their underwear hanging out... I'm not convinced Toys R Us, Radio Shack, Blockbuster Video, CD stores, etc... went out of business because of the people you mentioned.

Bull. First of all, most white women don't go walking around in hoodies. And if they happen to, big deal. They don't rob banks and beat up people.

So, as you admit, it is the black men in hoodies that commit the crimes. Not white women. Should that be justification for profiling. You bet. You are stupid not to. And stupid is what our country does with these discrimination policies. You focus on the ones who do most of the crime. Thus you watch the black men in hoodies as they will be more prone to do the crime. Simple really. Is it racist, who cares? Not me. It is the truth.

The black race self destructs and then sits around and wonders what happened, wonders why everyone is against the black man, wonders and wonders. Then you are a white racist if you don't come here and help out the black man that destroyed himself in the first place. Look at Detroit. Look at Chicago.

Yikes, you completely put words in my mouth. I conceded that probably more Black men in hoodies commit crimes than White women in hoodies... not a general statement that "black men in hoodies commit the crimes."

I don't want an enforcement agency to focus on variables completely irrelevant to the crime itself. Ask yourself, do hoodies really make Black men rob banks? Do hoodies make ANYONE rob banks? So if there is a ridiculous rule stating "no one" is allowed to wear a hoodie over their head, why not enforce it indiscriminately?

If you answer "yes, hoodies make Black people rob banks", then I have to go down this rabbit hole with you... Do guns kill people? I'm pretty sure people USE guns to kill people, but it's the person who pulls the trigger that is responsible for the killing. A law against owning a gun won't stop a killer from killing just as a rule against wearing a hoodie won't do anything to stop a bank robber from robbing a bank. All we can do is INDISCRIMINATELY go after the bank robbers and apparently hoodie-wearers.

I'm not going to defend Detroit or Chicago... however, I will say self destruction isn't exclusive in the Black community. We as humans are self-destructive beings. It's for this reason God sent us His only begotten Son to be the Savior of the World.

Black men in hoodies are to be suspect because they are prone to commit the crimes.

No, black men rob banks. And they commonly use hoodies. It doesn't need to be enforced indiscriminately because most white women don't rob banks. Nothing wrong with profiling a group of black men with hoodies. Nothing wrong with profiling. It is common sense in action.

No, hoodies don't make black people rob banks. Black people give hoodies a bad name in using them to rob banks. Go down whatever rabbit hole you want. Doesn't matter to me.

Self destruction is exclusive to the black race. Our salvation has nothing to do with the characteristics of race.

I provide you with a quote from Mark Twain. You got three kinds of lies. "Lies, damned lies, and statistics". You see this all the time.

Quantrill

I mean... you're arguing for a police state who sees an ordinary Black man wearing a hoodie as an automatic "suspect". I'm glad we don't have your ideal country where only certain laws are enforced on a portion of the population. Yet again, this just makes me think of the Liberals who pick and choose which laws they want to enforce. While you are on opposite sides of the political spectrum, you and they have the same fundamental understanding and agreement that the rule of law is only to be followed provided it fits your ideology.

I'm not sure if you read my post correctly. I never made the claim that our salvation is dependent on the characteristics of race. I made a factual statement that we, as humans, are self-destructive (we are imperfect sinners) that are in need of a Savior.

As for you thinking self-destruction is exclusive to the Black race... I honestly feel bad you think this way. I'd expect someone from Westboro Baptist Church to say/think something like this...

So you got nothing. Got it.

I'm not sure what your long-winded personal experience has to do with the double-standard in the OP. The OP is about a specific rule/law that appears to be enforced for some people and not others.

I have a gray hoodie that I wear sometimes when the temp drops below 70 in Florida. Not too sure about walking a mile though.

I have hoodies in various colors. I wear them all year long.............

When I go to Stores, I usually pull the hood down, unless it's a Store where I am a regular and the folks know me, then I will leave it up. I think it is just courteous to pull the hood down when you enter a Business where the people don't know you.

One time, several years ago, I looked into opening a Store called Hoodizz's. Even had a supplier lined up, but things changed and I let it drop. Was going to have heavy weight thread hoodies and light weight thread (t-shirt). Long and short sleeve.......

Anyway........

If you had actually started such a business I would have bought a few online from your store.
