Shannon would have been equally outraged if he had smashed oats or sugar cubes.

I still fail to understand how watermelon ever became racist. I’m white and I love watermelon.

I've never understood the shtick with fried chicken, watermelon, grape drink, waffles and all combinations thereof being a negative stereotype against blacks.


They're all delicious, and most southerners are fat for one reason or another.

There’s a joint in New Orleans called “Chicken and Watermelon”

It’s quite popular

Watermelon is delicious regardless of race. Fried chicken as well.

It's fun. Sharpe is wrong. We all love watermelon.

He is the one that needs to "let it go."

Dave Chappelle once said, "If you don't like watermelon, something is wrong with you."

He's right. I am so tired of some people being so offended they want everything cancelled. You can't progress this way. You make it worse.

How is watermelon, a freaking food, considered negative? So what if certain cultures like it more? Every race I know absolutely loves watermelon.

Where did the watermelon thing come from?

Is it because black people tend to gather at parks and whatnot for family picnics more often than white people? And obviously watermelon is a staple at those events.

Playing baseball growing up we had tons of gatherings like that and watermelon was present at every single one of them.

I know it’s a stereotype. But I don’t understand it at all. This is the only thing I can even think of.

Sharpe claims to be a strong black man then cowers when someone smashes fruit.
