It comes from the 60’s and 70’s when blacks would wear the hoodie as a symbol of their hatred of whites and being part of what they called the Black KKK.

Sounds like urban myth. It's more likely that hoods became popular for the same reason that KKK hoods were popular: to conceal your identity from casual observation.

A guy wearing a hoodie is going to have his face being less visible to security cameras, and is less likely to be recognized at a distance by rival thugs.

It's not an urban myth.

I worked with guys that were Black Klan in the late 70’s.

As far as I know both got out of it when they realized the white man wasn't the cause of all the black problems.
