silentbob1272 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think a few are probably sincere and do not know how else to show support, but I think most are simply grandstanding and attention whoring.

EpicBeardMan Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) I think hoodies have a purpose, and that is to protect your head from weather, which includes shielding snow and rain, or keeping your ears and head warm. I do not see any other reason to wear a hoodie. I have several hoodies, but I rarely have the hood up. I think some people do wear hoodies to hide their face because they are trying to be shady, and there are always those punks who do it because they think it's "gangsta".

Forever Julian Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 Cant judge sincerity or not, but I will say it is a good thing.With all the bad things celebs sell to kids, who look up to them, standing up for a cause like this is a nice way to kind of balance their influence in a more positive direction.

Andrews_31 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 BoP, Chaka Khan is FAR from an irrelevant music artist! She is legendary! Question her motives about the hoodie, but her musical credentials are unquestionable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFalcon Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I think a few are probably sincere and do not know how else to show support, but I think most are simply grandstanding and attention whoring. Nothing to back that up, just an opinion. Agree or disagree?Mostly agree. On one hand it does bring attention to the stupidity of associating a hoodie with criminal behavior (I'm an old white guy and sometimes wear a hoodie when it's cold and windy outside--last time I checked, I had no criminal intent or record.)On the other hand, many of the celeb-u-tards, race hustlers and political hacks sporting a hoodie for a 6:00 News 'sound bite' appear to be seeking attention for themselves and pandering to one side or the other.
