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.

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!.

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.

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.

“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
