Geraldo: My Own Son Is 'Ashamed' Of My Hoodie Quote

41. Thank You

I tried to make this point on another thread and wasn't too successful. People don't like reality.

I live in one of the biggest skinhead states. Attending a funeral for my uncle a couple years ago I see these two teens with shaved heads. They weren't Michael Stipe, so I'm thinking, "Who in this family has skinhead kids?" Turns out they were the teenagers of one of the coolest cousins who ever lived. I hadn't seen them since they were toddlers, they lived in another state. They are about as far from skinheads as anyone can get. I made a snap judgement based on my experience, both generational (I'm from the '70's when short hair meant uncool) and geographical. Was I wrong, yeah. Was it their FAULT I thought they were skinheads? No, it was mine. But if ya don't want to be taken for a skinhead, don't shave the head. In this state, anyway. If you don't care, shave away. These days they have nice long hair. Cool.
