Halloween came early, again, to Santa Ana's Floral Park Neighborhood

Art, get serious. There you go race baiting again. The neighborhood holds numerous events throughout the year where the association blocks off various streets. Just two weeks ago there was a chili cook-off blocking off part of Heliotrophe. Several weeks before that, there was a summer band. The neighborhood has an Easter and Holiday event (which do not coincide with the actual holidays). Are these all conspiracies?

The Halloween event is simply for the community to get toghether and have some comraderie. Plus, many people with kids don’t want to attend a party the night of Halloweeen because they do their own trick-or-treating. I think you’re just jealous.

You’re trying to make something out of nothing. Our home, for one, welcomes everyone on Halloween and we spend plenty to hand out good candy to ALL who knock at our door; regardless of where they live.

Was that photo taken at a Mothers of Floral Park event? I heard they had a Pajama Sleep over recently. Perhaps this photo was taken at that event. Very hot Mamacitas indeed!

Anonster is so very wrong. This is about the Swine Flu which came from little pigs in Mexico. If Anonster is looking for charity then he/she should take his/her ninos to the FREE haunted house and candy give away at the Library. See todays O.C. Register local section for more info. Also, most Floral Park residents don’t give out that hot, spicy, chile and lead laced candy that is so very popular South of the Border. Not sure if the Library provides that either since it’s mostly just sold in Mexico.

The Floral Park “special halloween” began years before the swine flu was even a twinkle-in-the-eye of Smithfield Farms filthy operations (that they moved to Mexico to avoid regulation).
Sorry, I’m not looking for charity, but I will be handing out candy, in Floral Park, to all the delightful kids that come knocking on my door Halloween night.

SILLY ART!!

Its a repeat of last years story BORING. Ever since I moved over to Floral Park from the house I grew up in 14 years ago, which is not to far from you, these Floral Park residents have always had early Halloween trick or treating and parties. No Biggie by the way the street lights in the neighborhood were off for like 2 months this summer, (creepy) because it makes the spooky black house on the corner look more eerie. oh and for the blogger that corrects the grammer and sentences sorry about all the run-on sentences… HA!

Here’s the deal with the Halloween party on Ross. I live in Floral Park and did not attend. I’m not big into the formalized social scene in Floral Park. Is this event racist and meant to keep the Mexican neighbors south of 17th at bay? I would say that it is not. It is simply a fun event focused on the neighborhood. There is nothing wrong with that. If you live in Floral Park, you know that it is indeed very crazy on Halloween…not a racist comment…just a fact. Many parents, regardless of color, wouldn’t want their kids out that evening.

Now the bigger question…does the fact that this event is not racist mean that the general population in Floral Park is not racist?? ABSOLUTELY NOT!! I know a lot of my neighbors and have seen with my own eyes and heard with my own ears vaguely and/or outright racist comments about our neighbors south of 17th. Most of the FP residents never venture downtown and actually know shamefully little about the city of Santa Ana as a whole. And of course they are downright embarrassed to ever tell anyone that they live in Santa Ana without explaining that they live in Floral Park…a beautiful old neighborhood that is really nothing like the rest of Santa Ana (Read: please don’t associate me with the poor Mexicans in Santa Ana!)

So is this event racist or cruel or mean-spirited?? No, it’s a great neighborhood event. BUT…are a heck of a lot of people living in Floral Park racist who regularly look down with disgust on their near neighbors?? The answer is a resounding YES !!!!!

I hear you. They have always done that I just don’t think you were paying attention all those years, because i would take my brothers daughter out over here to trick-or-treat since I moved in. Family’s with kids have come and gone people get older and don’t want to bother with it or people are at a party. The past 2 years i have not walked the route in the neighborhood however the year prior to that it was more crowded their was more traffic and trash all over lawns people kept shoving my 10 year old nephew out of the way when he would wait his turn to say trick-or-treat, I kept an eye out for bag snatchers because there was a heavy amount of foot traffic and not every piece of sidewalk is lit up that was my worry too. You should come over here this year I will come out and give you candy!! ha ha..But by the way I like that photo you posted on this article. Please follow up with the home….Halloween special. he he he

The point of concern is that Santa Ana is, give or take, around 95% Hispanic. This community at one point will be exposed,made aware and understand #18, #2, #7’s and Lou Dobb’s type of bigotry towards the Hispanic community.

This neglect and marginialization practice on them will possibly at one point get directed back at the Lou Dobbs types of Santa Ana.

Sometimes what you wish for can bite you in the ass.
