just ask young black guys how they are treated when they wear a suit, vs wearing a hoodie.

hell, i'm good-looking white guy, and I notice a massive difference in how people react to me when i'm wearing my dog-walking at 7am outfit, vs my 'going to the office today' clothes. which one do you think gets me the suspicion/scared/concerned looks?

it's also just totally bizarro to me people think I should dress up to walk my fucking dog when it's not even full daylight yet.
