If someone can't understand why someone is wearing a hoodie while it is raining outside then the person is mentally deranged or disabled.
Does Hollywood bear some responsibilty for the death of Trayvon Martin?

Why do they call it a hoodie in the first place?
...maybe it's derived from hoodlum or dare I say, da hood?

Or...maybe...it's a long shot...but maybe...because it has a hood on it???
Just a wild guess.
The word "hoodlum" has been around longer than "hoodies" have been around describing gangsters all the way back to the 1800's.
The phrase "da hood" derives from "neighborHOOD".
