Does anybody else feel guilty being suspicious of anybody in a black hoodie with the hood up? (lemmy.world)

Specifically because I live in a hot climate, I'm always fighting the feeling of being suspicious of anybody I pass in the streets with a hoodie pulled up. I feel guilty because of racial profiling associated with hoodies, but gotta protect myself and my family, especially because in many cases the perpetrators of assault and murder seen in media are somebody with a hood and/or mask on.

In the new Puss in Boots movie, the plot centers around him literally escaping Death because he realized before the movie's events that he used up all his other eight lives. So it's currently a meme that Death is envisioned in that context.
