: yes, did was the hoodie's fault. a hooded sweatshirt can make an innocent teen look like a criminal. just like a suit and glasses can make geraldo rivera look like a journalist. (cheers and applause) >> stephen: i believe-- i believe, this is urgent. congress must pass strict hood-year control legislation. it is ter fewing to live in a country where you could walk into any wal-mart and buy a hoodie right off the rack. no background check. no seven day waiting period. now many parents, many parents keep their hoodies in an unlocked drawer where their kids can get at them. that is why my hoodies are hid then the back of my gun closet. plenty of room in there. because i keep my guns in my pocket in case anyone comes for my hoodies. and folks, fox news, the good people over at fox news aren't just talking the talk, they're also hiding the talk by hastily yanking the fox news hoodie from its on-line store. well, thank goodness they did that because their viewer kos have bought those hoodies and then formed a motorcycle ga

dark hoodie, like a gray hoodie. jeans or sweatpants and light tennis shoes. >> who would have guessed that a sweatshirt with a hood would become a talking point in a discussion of trayvon martin's death? the form of the hoodie was first worn by monks back in the middle ages and then there's this famous sketch of the unabomber and facebook founder mark zuckerberg wears them and our own roland martin has been seen in one. they make a fashion statement. but they can also make a negative statement. especially if you're a young man of color. roland is joining us. he's joined the panel along with jane velez-mitchell and dr. salzer and curtis sliwa as well. how did the hoodie go from being a popular accessory to being seen as a thug? >> it used to be when hoodies weren't popular, so when we'd see the images of people robbing banks that was the image. i remember before that it was the stocking cap. so if you were a black man you couldn't wear the stocking cap because people might say that's the thuggish look as well. the cl

everyone is fix sated on hoodies. i know a bunch of young men passed by with hoodies. he fixed on trayvon. in his mind trayvon was a hood, a hoodum, an enemy of society. he has skittles and ice tea. the guy felt it. you feel the instinct. somebody is stalking you. somebody is on your back. and trayvon probably at a certain point just decided to stand his ground. >> let me ask chief parker a question about what it's like to have citizens involved in the patrol. is it ever helpful to the police officers or do you prefer to not have them involved in sort of how you're handling the crime? >> good evening, soledad. it's a thing really designed to be extra set of eyes and ears the to law enforcement. and it's termed watch for a specific reason. it's not engage. it's not apprehend. it's not attempt to be a police officer. it is designed to watch and ultimately report to larm. occasionally you will have an individual who may not appropriately be assigned a crime watch captain. i encourage and ask all crime watches in america, if you have this time of personality by all mean, g

a hood and a hoodie. this is why lebron did it. this is why they have hoodie marches across the country. this is why people are saying we're going to dress in the hood. the unibomber had a hood. he was a white guy and escaped noticed. millions of white people get up to go to the gym wearing a hood. the association between dark skinned black men. listen to what he said. a dark skin kid. he talks about his own son and association with that incriminality. you can tell your kids don't dress a certain way, don't speak a certain way. speak to the police a certain way because your life is at stake here. that's only because the police have been so outrageous in their assault upon black people. it sunt mean that dressing in a hoods ie is wrong. black people have been unduly assaulted and talked about in relationship to criminality and clearly george zimmerman sought him out because he was a black man. >> did geraldo do a disservice? >> extremely. now he is trying to let the shooter off the hook. he's trying to absolve us of responsibility.

he was wearing a hoodie.other people who are not african-american americans are wearing hoodies, they don't seem as dangerous. we're talking to one of the people organizing that at the end of the show. hang in for that. also important developments in the case. the cops are admitting, hey, you know what, maybe we overlooked that racial insult in the 911 call. of course you overlooked it. we talked about that on yesterday's show. also calls for the police chief's resignation, which we call for two weeks ago. and the "stand your ground "law is being reviewed. people are saying, does that make sense given how it's applied in florida. and there is the character assassination of trayvon martin by conservatives. it's unreal. what is infuriating to me is how much people are questioning whether this is about race at all. we'relet's watch. >> let me read you something that the department of justice said on the condition of anonymity. while the investigation of shooting of 17-year-old trayvon martin would go forward, it

in two thousand and three but after this morning he will now be famous as the man who blamed the hoodie for the death of trayvon martin the up until now you may have thought it was an actual person that killed trayvon and that person would be george zimmerman but according to her although it turns out that it was really just a piece of cloth a hooded sweatshirt here's the dire warning that i am urging parents of black and latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies i think that who he is as much responsible for trayvon martin's death as george zimmerman was well thank god we have such an astute political and social commentator to warn us about the dangers of a piece of clothing the literally every single kid in america where it turns out that a hoodie takes on a whole different cultural significance when the person wearing it is a white. you have to recognize that this whole style was seeing yourself as a gangster you're going to be against you want to be will keep will go to perceive you as a menace that's what happens it is instant reflex action yea

i think the hoodie is as much responsible for trayvon martin's death as george zimmerman was also a guy reaction astute political and social commentator to warn us about the dangers of a piece of clothing that literally every single kid in america wears but it turns out that a hoodie takes on a whole different cultural significance when the person wearing it isn't white. you have to recognize that this whole style was seeing yourself as a gangster you're going to be a gangster wannabe well people are going to perceive you as a menace that's what happens it is an instant reflex action yeah you see not only does wearing a hoodie instantly make you look like a criminal but chasing an unarmed black man down the street killing him in cold blood that's apparently an instant reflective action for most americans and i for one know that when i see a black or latino guide a hoodie my first instinct instinct is to whip out a gun chase him down the street and kill him oh no way that doesn't make sense does it so i wonder what a young person of color has to do you not to get gunned down the stre
