Black Trick-Or-Treaters Urged To Stay Out Of White Virginia Neighborhood By Racist Craigslist Post

An anonymous poster has stirred up controversy in a Norfolk, Virginia, neighborhood by asking black trick-or-treaters to stay away.

The post was added to the “Rants and Raves” section of the city’s Craigslist site, reminding “overage trick or treaters” that’s it’s illegal for children older than 12 to dress up and solicit Halloween candy.

But the original post, which has since been deleted, used a specific racial slur aimed at black children to encourage kids from other neighborhoods to stay away from Larchmont/Edgewater.


“We’re a white neighborhood and we don’t want you baboons here!! You little turds better think twice going into my neighborhood or you will be legally punished,” the post said.

Police said they would respond to calls reporting overage trick-or-treaters, which is a Class 4 misdemeanor that carries a possible $250 fine for guardians, but officers said any child 12 and under who goes out before 8 p.m. can enjoy Halloween anywhere in the city they choose.

These racists folks are going to loose it next week when McDonnell wins the governor election. Their world is being closed in on.

They will be the minority. LOL.

McDonnell is their bagger governor now that is about to be go to prison.

Cuccinelli is running on the ultra-bagger line. . .and McAuliffe is running against him.
