[stylist] Hoods & Hoodlums

Hoodlum is now a race? I think there is a bit of growing up to do no 
matter the age of those commenters. Race is ethnicity, by them 
complaining, are they not self-discriminating/slurring?  Calling 
themselves hoodlum. If they shut their mouth they'd exclude 
themselves from any pointed remark, unless there is existance of a 
guilty conscious minus  the willingness to change that compells them 
to cry out.  No different than a police line up with both innocent 
and suspected guilty people in the line up with no one actually 
knowing for sure which is which, the police announcing all 
criminals... the   dirty rotten scoundrels they are will be denied 
their meal for the day, and the guilty half jump up and cry inhumane 
treatment. Wow!
