Geraldo thinks that the hoodie is partly responsible for Martin's death and warns parents about them.

We have a high percentage of blacks in prison, and thats tragic, but are they in prison just because they are black or because they dont want to study as hard in school? Ive taught school, and I saw a lot of people of color who didnt study hard because they said the government would take care of them.
