US Class C? I don't think so.

How do you read AIM 3-2-4 e, which reads "... VFR aircraft are
separated from IFR aircraft ..."?
I wasn't reading but considering now

[...] I can just see plugging along with a hood on in VFR while some
guy in 2 way radio contact is transiting the Class C.

The original poster was considering practicing with a hood, while
under an active IFR flight plan. Your scenario is different.

I meant to say "plugging along with a hood on in VMC..." I'm thinking
of the guy who is plugging along on an IFR plan in VMC while a VFR guy
enters the Class C based on his initial call being acknowledged before
his location is known or radar contact is made. Thinking that Class C
entry is permitted once your call is ack'd with your call sign
