I have always liked Geraldo since his days of "dat's bullshit, 'lado...I aint touch dem kids" Joe Jackson, to getting his nose broken on aire, to his current work on Fox News, et al.
MSN asked whether Geraldo's a hoodie hypocrite:

They are being tongue in cheek but I don't think he's a hypocrite. Geraldo was talking about a particular look that is "created" when certain people (particularly Black males and non-white Hispanic males) wear hoodies. What he said is true in terms of how people perceive and treat others based on perceptions. But, what if someone thought Geraldo looked like a potential rapist or a pedophile in his hoodie?
No joke, there are profiles as well as stereotypes (stereotypes are not the same as profiles) in which Geraldo could fit. He better watch out.
