Minorities Less Likely to Trick or Treat



Me, I’m not much for Halloween. After being around long enough to learn it’s history I find very little about this day to cause to celebrate it. But, one were aethiest, agnostic, pagan, or other such non-thinking specimen than by all means enjoy your Holiday. I’ll be in the house with the lights off to mark my out of play status. That been said something about this article from the guardian strikes as odd. First instance in this commentary was this sentence.


“Lower-income people and minorities are more
likely to worry that it might not be safe to send their
children out on Halloween night.”

I found myself wondering if this author counting practice. Did she count all lower income families and then discount any minorities that may have already been counted from the tally of minorities that may have been in the first category. From the sound of it they seemed to have done their own leg work that is a good thing.


“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.

Well life has indeed changed, when I was a kid 25,000 annual income was middle class, give you an idea how old I am. I remember hearing from adults about candy being a nickel and I would wonder what it would be like to have to say that to a younger generation. Be careful of what you wish for.


``I'm a forensic nurse and I know what happens,''
she said. "It's very different from when I was
little.''

So let me see I have this clearly. Is she saying that when she was little she was a forsenic nurse, wow and just when I thought I was slow learner in high school but then comes along someone to make me feel even worse.


``It's demonic,'' said Donna Stitt, 37, a nursing aide
from with four young children. ``People are
celebrating the dead. I'm not into that.''

I’m with Donna let the dead worship the dead. I shall worship the Christ.
