Geraldo Rivera Defending Treyvon Martin Hoodie Remark

Geraldo Rivera. Got to hand it to him for standing against the blowing wind that’s slamming him in the face for his Treyvon Martin Hoodie blast. This one:

On Twitter, Geraldo Rivera’s still devoting his tweets to a defense of himself. Take a look:

Critics of my hoodie comments think they’re mad at me but they’re really mad at the undeniably unfair reality of young male black/brown life

In the avalanche of criticism how interesting that most minority moms back me because they want their sons to live long and prosper

President Obama says if he had a son he would look like Trayvon- He could add, and he would never let his son walk around DC in a hoodie.

23 Mar Geraldo Rivera ‏ @GeraldoRivera
Its sad that I have to be the one reminding minority parents of the risk that comes with being a kid of color in America–channel the rage

23 Mar Geraldo Rivera ‏ @GeraldoRivera
Its not blaming the victim Its common sense-look like a gangsta&some armed schmuck will take you at your word

What Rivera doesn’t seem to understand is that he focused too much on the Hoodie and too little on racism.
