People Of Color Don’t Trust The Neighbors Not To Molest Their Kids On Halloween
29 October 2007, 10:30 AM. By Guanabee Staff
A phone survey conducted this week showed that people of color are less likely than White folks to let their kids go trick-o-treating. Hmmm….wonder why?
A survey conducted by The Associated Press and Ipsos [...] found 73 percent of whites versus 56 percent of minorities said their children will be out and about on Halloween. The poll says this in large part because minorities and lower-income people are more likely to worry their neighborhoods are not safe enough.
Well, if the kids of color don’t get to go trick-o-treating, at least they still get to be scared.

Our Mexican parents always told us we couldn’t go trick-or-treating because el cucuy would steal us. Now I know they just didn’t trust Whitey McGee next door. Dammit!
My parents would let us go trick-or-treating, but wouldn’t let us eat the candy we collected; they’d buy their own for us to eat. Which was fine, since most of the candy I’d receive would smell like a hellish combination of urine, mothballs and roofies.
And to think I now pay good money for that sort of thing.
hmm. my parents drove us to trick or treat to the rich neighborhoods and were always with us. what sort of parent lets their kid trick or treat alone in the ghetto!?
Halloween is when the mostly white neighborhoods become ‘diverstiy’ centers. the only people of color are those blowing leaves or cleaning the houses, for the most part around LA.
So true! My lily-white barrio becomes a sea of brown and black on Halloween. Its like a beautiful rainbow!
Minority parents care for their children! They want their kids to get the same organic 60% chocolate and marzipan that los ricos get. Ni que Brach’s caramel squares and Snickers ni que nada! Those shits might have chunks of glass in ‘em!
It’s cool for the kids to be raised in the ghetto their entire lives but god forbid one night they go trick treating in it. That’s rational.
