Description: Halloween Costumes and a Racist
Trick or Treat
There were these two children of color trying to decide what to get
dressed
as to go trick-or-treating for Halloween. Finally the oldest one, Robert,
turned to his sister Francine and said, "I know, we'll go as Hansel and
Gretel."
Well, they dressed up as Hansel and Gretel on Halloween night and off
they
went to ring doorbells all over the neighborhood. They came to a house on
the end of their block and Robert rang the doorbell.
"Trick or Treat," Robert and Francine yelled in unison.
The old man at the door peered down at them and said. "And who are you?"
"Why, we're Hansel and Gretel," Robert said.
The man shook his head."You can't be Hansel and Gretel. Hansel and Gretel
were white." And then he slammed the door on their faces.
Well Robert and Francine went back to their house and Robert thought
furiously. "I know," he said. "You can go as Little Bo Peep and I'll go
as
Little Boy Blue."
So they changed quickly into their new costumes and headed back out the
door. A few minutes later, they found themselves at the same house as
earlier.
"Trick or Treat," Robert and Francine yelled again as the door opened.
Once again the man stared down at them and said, "Who might you be." "Why
we're Little Bo Peep and Little Boy Blue," Robert said. The man shook his
head and said. "You can't be Little Bo Peep and Little Boy Blue. They
were
white." And he slammed the door on their faces.
Robert and Francine walked back to the house, their candy bags empty. But
Robert got an idea and quickly slipped out of his costume. Then he helped
Francine out of hers.
When the knock came at the door, the old man grabbed his basket of candy
and opened the door. Much to his surprise, there were two naked black
children standing on his porch.
"Well, what do we have here," he asked.
"Two M&Ms," Robert said. "One with nuts and one without."
