Specifically because I live in a hot climate, I’m always fighting the feeling of being suspicious of anybody I pass in the streets with a hoodie pulled up. I feel guilty because of racial profiling associated with hoodies, but gotta protect myself and my family, especially because in many cases the perpetrators of assault and murder seen in media are somebody with a hood and/or mask on.
haha that’s fair. totally understand wanting to cover up, but especially where I live and during this warm time of year, it’s suspicious. i think that’s a good way to describe my feelings. it’s a yellow flag. i’m not reaching in my pocket for a knife, but i’m on guard.
