Seattle school cancels Halloween parade because it 'marginalizes students of color'

What a bunch of horseshyt.  Are blacks the only ones who do not celebrate Halloween?  How does a parade marginalize anyone?  I used to be a float puller in Halloween parades in Yonkers, NY.  Maybe some blacks had another way of celebrating it because when we went through the predominately black neighborhoods, young black teens would shoot paper clips at us.  And when we had parades in the integrated projects I grew up in, the had costume prizes as participants would walk thought the 8 bldg. complex.  We ALL had fun then.  Even the blacks kids. 

Now, this was a true story, but I will admit it was rather foolish on my part.  I was at a red light on a major thoroughfare in NY.   An egg hit my windshield.  I had a good idea were it came from, even though it was dark.  So I pulled up a side road.  Left my wife in the car, and took a starter pistol I had in the car with me.
Sure enough, when I got close to the hidden bushy area in front of an apartment bldg., a group of young black teens went scampering all over.  I ran after three of them across the road into a shopping area parking lot.
I saw a cop car, so I waved them down.  Before the cops got there, I had the three kids up against a store window and they wasted no time trying to blame the others who were long gone.  I held them at gunpoint with the starter pistol.  They were near tears at this point.  When the cops got there, I hid the starter gun in my pants and told them what they did.  While they were pleading their case with the cops, I slinked away and back to the car before they could be told about the starter gun.  I imagine they weren't going to be throwing any more eggs at cars.  And, oh, yeah!  There was also a time 'white' punks threw tomatoes at my car.
Only reason I caught them was because we used to throw snowballs at motorists from the same hill, so I knew exactly where they would run to.  Made one of them wipe my windshield with his shirt.

So it's not just always blacks.  It's whites, too.  Was held up at gunpoint (one a carjacking when I was driving a cab.)  One suspect was white, the other was black.  Learned a week later someone shot that black teen and threw his body off the roof top. 

No, I didn't do it.
:?

I guess he tried to hold up the wrong person in that bldg.  That was the second time I had been held up with a gun to my gut.  There were actually two teens.  After I gave them my last 4 dollars, one told me to wait in the hallway for five minutes after they leave.  I just walked on out in front of them, telling them, THEY needed to wait here while I left and that I had been through this already.

But to cancel a fun parade for the reasons they claim.  Biggest crock of shyt I ever heard.  But, I'm sure there will be more crocks to come.
