Halloween special pitting

What got me more is the racial coding in this post (Ill skip the wink wink thoughts on the behavior of the children):

Come clean. You are ranting about black people coming into your neighborhood to trick or treat, aren’t you?

No, there are plenty of rude, ill-bred white kids, too (especially teenagers). And Hispanic, Arabic, & Native American, too.

I love Halloween - I don’t mind how many kids come. I buy what’s in my budget and if I run out, that’s it. Turn off the lights, no big deal. I used to say I was never bothered by who came… Until I had a guy with a baby in a stroller trick-or-treating. No other children.Wtf. It’s obviously not for the kid. It can’t possibly be for a sick kid at home (because just go buy a bag of candy. It’s got to cost less than the time and effort). Whatever though, in the end it’s just candy. (But I really wished I had a bag of circus peanuts for him)

We give out treat bags. Little plastic bags decorated with Halloween images and tied with a twist tie. I fill them with candy, little erasers, plastic toys, and stickers. This year in addition to the bags, we gave out homemade candy apples, and they were a huge hit.

Your right the way the it was written how could I not detect the people the OP was griping about were Native American? There’s so many of them leaving their reservations trailer parks to prowl upper middle class neighborhoods looking for candy. Why, it’s an epidemic, I tell you.

I just heat up dimes in the frying pan and toss ‘em out into the kids’ bare hands. Good times!

So you just assume someone who “lives in a shit hole” and is “unemployed” must be a black person?

How very racist of you.

@russian_heel

Actually, theres no social contract. Just turn off your lights and don’t give out candy if everything is going to be a problem.

You know what is sad? You actually have been conditioned to believe this shit. Racial coding? What the fuck?

People are soooooo hyper-sensitive that they read something like this and assume “racist!”

Pathetic.

But no. I am sure you won’t believe this, but the person I quoted was a very large fat white person. Does that make you feel better, you smug, politically correct, messageboard scanning foreskin?

I don’t know what color you are and I don’t care. My Halloween pitting is an EOP (equal opportunity pitting)

Oh, and psssst! There are honest to good black, brown, yellow, white, and for all know plaid people in my neighborhood. :rolleyes:

@Ludovic

And why do they need candy when they are encased in bread?

This went over my head.

@Guinastasia

I’ve seen this. They’re rude little shits. My friend and I were given a few pieces of candy once when we took her little brother around, but we didn’t ask for it.

I used to be one of those kids who went to a bigger neighborhood, because I liked to go trick or treating with my cousins. My aunt and uncle like the extra help from my parents. That all right with you, Stink Fish Pot? :dubious:

Of course. I am not a complete jerk. Families, kids that walk into the neighborhood, all good. I don’t care for the family truckster, hit-and-run approach, that’s all.

@Tibby or Not Tibby

I typically get a good crowd of courteous, well-costumed young Trick or Treaters at my door. I too, offer a big bowl of mixed variety candies to the kiddies and their small hands usually only grab one or two pieces. They say “thank you” and go off on their merry way.

No problem…until I opened the door to a bratty young teen and his dad. Neither was wearing a costume (unless their costume was “Typical Walmart Slob”). Neither one said a word. Reluctantly, I held out my big bowl and the untidy Justin Bieber look-a-like put his big paw in and grabbed a large handful of candy. That was bad enough, but, as I was pulling the bowl away, Dad sticks his big paw in and grabs an even larger handful of candy and puts it in his son’s bag.

If these were poor people, I’d be happy to give them all the candy they wanted, but, judging by the Rolex on Dad’s dirty paw, I don’t think that was the case.

I was about to give Dad a piece of my mind, but a tiny Cinderella and witch were approaching the doorway, so I held my tongue. I just snarked, “a man your age ought to be a little worried about diabetes.”

I’m still peeved about my Trick or Treating in New Jersey when I was 7 years old. I had a great costume (hobo, with burnt-cork dirtied face, torn clothes and a broomstick & bag over my shoulder). On just the third house my friends and I went to, a middle-aged battle-ax of a woman opened the door and gave us each single gumball (bitch).

It gets worse:

Then, she guilt-tripped me (the hobo, of all people) into taking one of her UNICEF charity buckets and canvas the neighborhood for donations! Fat-ass was too lazy to do it herself, I suppose.

So there I am collecting nickels and dimes for some charity I had no clue about, while my buddies were collecting Snickers and M&Ms and Tootsie Rolls and…

Worst Halloween ever!

You win! This story shames my OP.

Because you are a racist, hypocritical prick.

Why does an ill-mannered person have to be a particular color?
