When I say 'hood I don't mean black urban inner city, I mean 'hood = the town where you are from and stay in primarily. Dressing 'hood like to me means a person under 25, pants **** down to their knees, probably doesn't have a job because jobs are hard to come by if you come like that to an interview. You hang around other people that dress like that. Shirt is usually big enough for a 400lb dude to wear. There are white kids that dress like this and black kids that dress like this.
Am I blaming this kid for getting shot? F' no. Like I said, Zimmerman has mental issues, one being racist and another for self appointing himself as the wannabe Batman of the neighborhood.
But I will say again, if I saw any person coming down the block with a hoodie on and I can't see their face I will be the first to lock my door or cross the street. Could be a white guy, black guy, latino guy, asian guy. Hell even female. I don't give a rats ****, I'm about protecting myself in situations. It's like my insurance policy. If it doesn't happen, good, but I'm going to hedge my losses.
And I don't distinguish if a hoodie is from AP, Gap, Walmart, A&F or from where ever. All I know is I'm crossing the street or locking the door.
