re: Walkon's franchise owner has issued apology for racist Halloween FB post

I mean, he was 100% right.

But, how did he not see this coming?

Claiming these black kids culture as being the reason they took more candy than they were asked to is in fact racist. I wonder if these kids were white would he have written the same things and blamed the white kids culture for their doings and how doing this was a gateway to committing crimes and getting shot in their future.

White kids are posted about all the time from what I see. It’s doesn’t make national media.

Also I don’t think culture applies to all of any particular race and that bringing up culture is not racist. African exchange students and college students that I have met or my family has met are usually shocked by black culture in Baton Rouge when they arrive. This Culture doesn’t apply to all blacks in BR and definitely not all throughout the world, but it is very prevalent in BR. To ignore it and make excuses for it by trying to label it being pointed out as racist is just fostering its continuance and empowering those that benefit from it politically. Do them the honor of expecting more from them. They can handle it.

This racist F needs to be fired.

Brees needs to take this mfer's franchise away from him. He is a pos.

This a hole then can go manage that racist af BBQ place in Hammond or Kentwood or whatever.

Just like in the fat woman taking all the candy thread.

This lazy racist pos can't make the effort to answer the door and hand out candy like a human being. Leaving a big bowl of candy out there like he is feeding deer is lame af.

F this guy. It's aholes like this guy who half-arse their halloween participation that are the true cancers of society. Either hand out candy like a man or turn your lights out and pretend like you're not home. The only two legitimate options. Losers like this guy is why halloween is dying out. Kids want to interact, say trick or treat, meet their neighbors see costumes, not be treated like an animal and be fed candy through a trough.

He should have waited and used a video that was more ethnically diverse. Show one with three white kids, an Asian,one Hispanic,a variation of Indians(Dot,Dulac,Feather) and one black kid. Like TV does.

rut roh...he is my neighbor (kind of)

Dickhead was looking to get offended by "cultcha". He set up a cam on that candy bowl for this single purpose. He deserves to go out of business. What a dick way to celebrate Halloween.

So... expecting kids to follow the rules makes him an a-hole? K.


And if this is a Ring doorbell, he already had it set up and didn’t do it just for Halloween.

fair point, but assumption of risk is a thing.

I can be-moan how it’s unsafe to walk aling side the interstate. People should be capable at staying in their lane and not hitting me, but if I get hit, are you surprised?

A girl gets blackout drunk at a party alone and has sex with a drunk frat guy. Sure, we blame the frat guy for being a POS, but doesn’t society also criticize the girl for putting herself in a vulnerable position?

We can lament that gone are the days of Mayberry, when no one ever locked their doors at night, but we’re still idiots if we leave our doors unlocked and somebody breaks in.

Yeah, those kids were idiots, but so was he for having unrealistic expectations.

At the same time, we can also lament the fact that he shouldn’t have to have such low expectations.

t’s not like this would keep people from going to Walk Ons.

It’s the crappy food that keeps people from going to Walk Ons.

I have to agree. I hate to shite on walkons, they have a good thing. Evidently a lot of people like the food there. And if I were going to any sports restaurant to watch a game it would be Walk Ons.. But personally, I have been there quite a few times either with a group of people who want to go or out of convenience (after a LSU basketball or baseball game) and I never once had anything that was like "damn! this is good. I got to come back and get this".
