It's A Happy Hooded Halloween!

Halloween in the 'hood is a real tricked out treat. For instance, the only day/night of the year the br'ers and sistas wear "normal" clothing is Halloween. The shivs are sharp and the gats fully loaded. Nobody knows nobody and Kandy Korn is something the old lady in the projects smokes before she gets her game on. They ain't tossin' no rotten eggs. They get "go" money for 'em at the neighborhood Korean grocery who in turn sells them to whitey.

Kids go to the neighbor's place which, by the way, is only a couple of steps down the hallway and rap on the front bars. Instead of greeting the resident with a "trick or treat" it's more like, "Yo beyotch! Gimme some a luvin' and dat Butterfinger you hidin' up yo butt."

A hooded Halloween is not to be confused with Halloween in da 'hood. Naw, not t'all. See a hooded Halloween is kind of the opposite 'cause that's when whitey works at getting his shit together and tries in a failed attempt to look and act gangsta.

Whitey often thinks trick or treating is like going to a Burger King and ordering from the menu hanging from the ceiling. "Ma'am, I'll have the bag of Kandy Korn with the Snickers and a bag of boiled peanuts." If you don't comply or can't fill the order, whitey stomps off and tells his friends that you are mean.

Either way you look at it, trick or treating isn't what it used to be. Poor dumb kids now actually have to run their stash through metal detectors before eating it, and the only "trick" in the 'hood is walking the sidewalks while white kids are standing in line at a Korean grocery throwing gang signs as they wait to buy rotten eggs.
