Southern whites, threatened by blacks’ newfound freedom, responded by making the fruit a symbol of black people’s perceived uncleanliness, laziness, childishness, and unwanted public presence.



I guess this is why white folks in the south don't eat watermelon.

I hope he took the watermelon with him.




Hell no. You know that the troublemakers were all "Oh hell no! HOW DARE YOU! You think we all just like chicken and watermelon, don't you!?"

And then Twilight is tripping over himself to apologize for his unintended slight they are all "just get out of here with your racist KKK arse! Go. We don't want your type here!








Leave the watermelon."

Also, George Washington Carver didn't invent peanut butter


I totally agree.. and this is a terrible misconception.

He created different items using the peanut, but historically there is no evidence of him inventing peanut butter. The irony of the rumor is that it overlooks his other accomplishments after university.

Well it could be, just depends on the givers reason behind the gift.

Black people are good only as pawns to him. If they think from themselves and act contrary to how he thinks they should, they are uncle toms

Getting rid of this racist watermelon-wielding fascist is surely going to turn Detroit around. White supremacy is Detroit's paramount problem.
