Thanks for explaining it to me. I’m clearly not informed. I do wear a garment called a “hoodie” which I’ve worn for years. It is black and it keeps me warm. I sometimes pull the hood up to keep my head warm. Was not aware that this was so controversial. Now I know.
Not controversial. You are making it such.
Hoods, however, have been worn by monks, by scholars, by woman attached to a cloak. Hoodie is a recent term and has been associated with hip-hop,gangstas, and representing a neighborhood. Clothes say a lot in certain places. Look at gang members and colors.
It’s the where, why and when that matters. Not the freakin’ hood itself.
