I recall someone in the black community said (paraphrasing here) that when white young people wear hoodies, they're techies/professionals (like Zuckerberg), and when black kids wear hoodies they're gangbangers or up to no good. This is so true. I agree with Joe.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
