Washington – Rep. Bobby Rush has donned a hoodie during a speech on the House floor deploring the killing of Florida teenager Trayvon Martin, receiving a reprimand for violating rules on wearing hats in the House chamber.

The Illinois Democrat spoke out against racial profiling and, as he removed his suit coat and pulled the hood on the sweatshirt he was wearing underneath over his head, said that “just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum.”
Rush was interrupted by the presiding officer, Mississippi Republican Gregg Harper, who reminded him that the wearing of hats was not allowed and “members need to remove their hoods or leave the floor.”
On Tuesday the 17-year-old Martin’s parents spoke on Capitol Hill at a Democratic-sponsored panel on racial profiling.
Oh brother! He was simply trying 2 make the statement that just becuz someone wears a hoodie… doesn’t mean they are a hoodlum!
I’m fine w\the no-hat rule for the House! I just think there’s *other* things going on right now that are a little more important 2 address than THIS particular incident!
Have our politicians nothing else better 2 do?!?!
This story is getting out of hand!
Why can’t we have a courtcase where both sides can argue their claims and the truth shall be known?!
The way it’s going now we are seriously risking the division of America which won’t benefit anyone including us yidden!
We,are,all doomed…
The worst fear of the Mitzrim was that the Ivrim would rise up against them…
It is a scary thing when the lower classes rise up above their masters. When the Jews did it, we didn’t do the harm that was feared.
Unfortunately, this is the opposite case!
Everyone cowers in fear of blacks, but no one is allowed to even question them. If a black youth comes and breaks your nose, and you fight back, you’ll be labelled as a racist.
Very scary!
This incident smells a lot like the Tawana Brawley incedent years ago. Just because 1,000 protest and threaten doesn’t make it so. The truth will come out.
I under stand the are here to protest the death of a child who got shot because is color and wearing a hoodie while he got killed. Where are this all lewmakers and protesters when 3 children and rabbi got killed for wearing a kippa on the head and because they were Jews?
#7 ,
Look in Zephaniah 2:12
Also, the fact that this was turned into a race issue shows that I’m right.
#8,
You’re incorrect.
Anyone, watchman or otherwise, who has a licensed handgun, and is being attacked, is permitted to shoot and kill their attacker. He may not have acted properly, but at the time that Treyvon attacked him, he acted appropriately.
I feel sorry for the first frum yid who is elected to congress and dares to wear a yarmulke on the floor. They should have the sargent at arms drag him off the floor and censure him.
A few months ago I belive it was the mayor of Phily who was reprimanding the afro american youth on how they conduct themselvs and how they dress.
One of the things he said was “how do you expect white old whit ladies not to be affraid of you when you wear a hoodie”. He had the guts to say it like it is.
He also mentioned the wearing of pants that show the underwear and blasted them for wearing this.
By the way the mayor himself is afro american.
All politicians should wear hoodies so we know they’re crooks
Theese subclass lowlife trashes are destroying the countrry the hoodlems are becoming more brazen all theese demostrators are criminals who want to destroy our justice system and install their own version of justice which favors them this is a tragedy of biblical proportion in this great country of our criminal minded hoodlums are trying to impose their will by force and threats on all of us decent americans.
Anyone remember the omega man?
Regarding the racial slur which Zimmerman allegedly used, I’d like to enlighten the readers of an incident, which happened to myself in a Walmart store, not that long ago. As I was preparing to check out my merchandise (after waiting on line a long time), an middle aged woman came out of nowhere, and attempted to cut in front of me on line, so she could pay for her cigarettes. When I objected to her doing that, she stated:
“You’re nothing but a honky racist”.
When I told her that if I was Black, she wouldn’t have spoken to me in that manner, she stated “I’m not even going to talk to you-I’ll knock you upside your head”.
My point is that when Blacks use racial slurs to whites, it is OK, but it is not ok, the other way around! This is what our society has degenerated to!!
To #25 -PMO in Florida- Thanks for your support; I wanted to follow-up. The incident which I described was witnessed by a cashier at Walmart, who is from Africa. Some time later, he told me that he should have called his loss prevention manager (security), when that incident occurred. In retrospect, I should have requested that he do so, as there is no point in having to put up with that abuse, while waiting on a checkout line. Incidentally, while I was leaving the store, I noticed the same woman coming in my direction. I tried to ignore her, but I heard her mutter something, and she threw a used tissue in my direction. We had some further words outside the store. The point that I was trying to make is that this incident is not unique. There are some people who have chips on their shoulders, and will try to start an incident based on race. It works both ways. Yet, the media never, but never, focuses on the daily harassment by Blacks against Whites; it only focuses on a situation, when it is the other way around.
