Anyone else dress as a Hobo for Halloween as a kid?

homeless isn't a race

Yes. We dirtied our faces with a burnt cork.

How is it racist though?

I think I was a hobo one year - god I forget

I actually did! It was a ‘what do I have around the house?’ Kind of decision bc our church was having a Halloween party & I didn’t have a costume. ... not my favorite costume (a ghost- sheet was cheap too ), but I remember the party was fun. 😀
PS: yes, today is very different.. our churches here no longer have those great Halloween parties (complete with haunted house), bc it’s the ’devil’.
