I've talked about it before (yet you forgot...hmmmm) and used the related topic of the first female PM in Australia as an example of how a country can say "See!?!? We're not (fill in the blank)! We did this thing once!" I never saw the island of Hawaii in person but I've seen pictures and know people who have been there so I can't say it's not real so you'll just have to take my word for it.
No thanks.

It certainly wasn't in the post I responded to.

As usual with you, you have to give your "sources" some scrutiny. None of those say that "blacks shouldn't wear hoodies" (your exact wording). They say that his attire contributed to his being viewed as a potential criminal. This is not the same thing, at all.

It would be difficult to take anything you post seriously, so this won't exactly cause me to exert much, if any, effort.
