It's also income-discriminatory. And just in case you thought they wouldn't, they also threw in a slap at the Wiccans/Satanists in the last sentence.
MSNBC and AP, mutually inclusive offenders.
I know what some of you think about Halloween, but this is just completely ridiculous now sin't it?
From MSNBC:
WASHINGTON - Two-thirds of parents say their children will trick-or-treat this Halloween, but fewer minorities will let their kids go door to door, with some citing safety worries, a poll shows.
The survey found that 73 percent of whites versus 56 percent of minorities said their children will trick-or-treat.
Overall, 86 percent of those questioned in the survey said their neighborhoods are safe for trick-or-treating. Ninety-one percent of whites, compared with 75 percent of minorities, said they felt their kids would be secure when they went out seeking candy in their area.
Similarly, 93 percent of people earning $50,000 or more said their communities are safe for trick-or-treating, compared with 76 percent of those making less than $25,000.
“It’s demonic,” said Donna Stitt, 37, a nursing aide from Barto, Pa., with four young children. “People are celebrating the dead. I’m not into that.”
Veterans Day is next on the calendar. What new offense can they dream up for that?
Well, if kids read this story at least they'll know which neighborhoods to get the good candy from huh?
(Disclaimer: For the Paulbots looking for ammo, that last sentence was sarcasm.)
