Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) was one of several speakers at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth undergraduate commencement that took place this Sunday. Frank was also one of two people that received the Chancellor's Distinguished Service Medal at the event.
However, Congressman Frank made a controversial comment about Hubie Jones, a black recipient of an honorary doctorate, that elicited an audible gasp from the audience.
In reference to the Trayvon Martin case, Frank said "you now got a hoodie you can wear and no one will shoot at you." After the audience reacted, Frank said, "I think you'll feel, I hope, pretty protected by that."
"Finally, I do want to acknowledge a man who has played a major role in diminishing inequality in Massachusetts and other spheres, and that's Hubie Jones," Barney Frank said.
"One of the great men that I've worked with Hubie for many years and I'm particularly pleased that Hubie got an honorary degree today. You know, when you get an honorary degree they give you one of these and Hubie, I think you now got a hoodie you can wear and no one will shoot at you. So, I think you'll feel, I hope, pretty protected by that," Frank said.

She’s soooooo witty!
Lefties are brain damaged.
That has got to be the ultimate in race bating I have ever heard.
Skittles must be banned NOW!!!!
There was an “audible gasp” from the audience? You mean to tell me there are people in this world who can understand this fool when he speaks?
Guard your six. Hubie!
Since a black male is 40 times more likely to assault a white person(even higher if it’s a gay male), why didn’t Frank ask the black male if he was going to assault him for being a white, male homosexual??
agreed
No, skillets!
What do you expect when you invite evil into your “house”? I hope the honorees got what they paid for.
Wow,Barney giving the commencement address at U Mass Dartmouth! What next...Slippery Stone Junior High?
Where’s that commencement speech going to get Bwaanny, in the end?
This disgusting POS is one disgusting POS.
What a disgusting and vile person he is! Yet, he is a glowing example of all things liberal.
The case against George Zimmerman has been prejudiced publically at all. /s
Wow! A disgusting fat old fag AND a racist to boot!
more money from the banks and financial industry
for one, check out how Fidelity bankrolls this old twinkie with fund raisers. Once I did, I pulled all my money out, after almost 30 years of investing in Fidelity Funds.
Frank was also one of two people that received the Chancellor’s Distinguished Service Medal at the event. +............................ I guess it was for the work he put into the Home financing and Real Estate Market fiasco?
The fairy tale of Frank's greatness, IQ, humanity, etc. has been so oft repeated that this evil fraud is paraded in the highest levels of "society" as a great man.
The gasps came from those in the audience who realized he was naked--and Oh! what an awful sight!.
vaudine
If I were a black man sitting on a Dais with an ignorant fag who even mentioned my wearing a hoodie I would have punched him in the mouth and ruined his sex life.
vaudine
Naw, most likely Ball State.( with a stop over at Ben Dover High)
Hey what’s this I hear that Bawney’a Fwrank is the Packers first round draft pick for...Wide Receiver? nyuk nyuk nyuk
That turd burglar is lower than whale shit in the Marianas Trench......
Doom on him !
Yeah, but I think he really had his heart set on the tight end.
If anyone does shoot at the black graduate for wearing a hoodie, it will be a black man who does it — that should be the retort to this disgusting Barney Frank faux witticism.
I hope Romney uses that senator’s comments to show who Obama associates with. We have so much artillary, and if we do not get Romney in, there will be Hell to pay, for fraud’s sake.
Way to turn someone’s personal moment into your OWN agenda driven purpose. Liberals can turn any pleasant moment which is about someone else into a foul and upsetting moment which is somehow about them or their politics. They are walking stink.I bet most Liberals would nt even understand the problem with this.

"It's twue! It's TWUE!"
“No One Will Shoot At You” For Wearing A “Hoodie”
Typical leftist aka progressives bs! The hoodie does not make you a criminal. Your actions do.
Did Bawney mistake a sheepskin for a foreskin?
You get shot acting like a thug. Ask Trayvon.
On the other hand these slobbering sanctimonious elitist LIEberals avoid being in the hoodie-wearing neighborhoods like the plague.
Ahh yes Bwarney's Fwank, excellent service with Freddy/Fannie in helping to destroy the value of real estate and for the 2008 economic crash.
I dare say more people are victimized by people ‘wearing hoodies’, than the other way around
I hope Romney uses that senator’s comments to show who Obama associates with.
Barney Frank must be sippin’ on some Sizzurp.
The fellow should have knocked over Barney and pounded his head into the pavement.
“Want to shoot me now?”
And yet Zim is supposed to get a “fair trial’ with all these prominent implied guilty comments?
Keep talkin, Punks. The more you say the more the defense attorneys are rubbing their hands with glee. Even a racist jury were to find him “guilty” it would get reversed on appeal. Dr. Sam Sheppard, anyone?
Amazing how a long-time pol can have such a tin ear when it comes to figuring out what is and isn’t appropriate to say in public. He doesn’t seem to have much of an appreciation for what to do and what not to do in private, either. Host a gay prostitution ring out of his townhouse, what could be wrong with that, anyway?
Guess that’s what a lack of effective competition year after year can do to a guy - it seems to have turned him into a fat, vulgar, out of touch, effeminate slob.
What’s that, you say? You mean that he has always been a fat, vulgar, out of touch, effeminate slob? Have the voters in his district always been that foolish? Well, guess that theory goes down the drain, huh...
What a size 12 a-hole.
“Way to turn someone’s personal moment into your OWN agenda driven purpose.”
Yo, Hubie I’m real happy for you and I’ma let you finish but first i haffa tell you I got one a the greatest records in Congress. Ax me.
Not many people, perhaps none, have been shot for wearing a hoodie, but a lot of people have been shot by people wearing hoodies.
