Last week I wrote about Geraldo Rivera's obnoxious comments blaming wearing a hoody, and not the racist murderer, for Trayvon Martin's death. Rivera said:
“I think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin’s death as George Zimmerman was.”

Because this is a teachable moment let me speak plainly.
Whatever Reverends Sharpton and Jackson say in Florida Friday, after listening to the 911 tapes and hearing the witness’ testimonials, I believe Trayvon Martin would be alive today but for his hoodie.
Geraldo Rivera Says "Hoodie Is As Much Responsible" As Zimmerman In Death Of Trayvon Martin
Well today, he "apologized":
Geraldo Rivera is apologizing for his “hoodie” remarks about Trayvon Martin that touched off a media firestorm last week, saying, “I have obscured the main point that someone shot and killed an unarmed teenager.”
“I apologize to anyone offended by what one prominent black conservative called my ‘very practical and potentially life-saving campaign urging black and Hispanic parents not to let their children go around wearing hoodies,’” Rivera said in an email to POLITICO Tuesday.
Rivera said that “by putting responsibility on what kids wear instead of how people react to them I have obscured the main point that someone shot and killed an unarmed teenager,” and that he was offering a “heartfelt apology” to anyone he may have offended in his “crusade to warn minority families of the danger to their young sons inherent in gangsta style clothing; like hoodies.”

Fuck you Mr. Rivera. You are just repeated the same racist garbage. Your attempts to obscure the real issue of a racist murder here define you.
I see little difference between Rivera and any other FoxNews bigot.
