Is a shame watermelon has become a symbol of racism. Is good and healthy. Water melon, salt, picnic table, and waterhose- when your done.

This is the paradox of faux-racism. If you serve watermelon, it's patronizing and stereotypical. If you don't serve watermelon, you are denying Black people their heritage and culture.

No matter what it's racism.

Grandpa, grew watermelon to supplement his income in the 1970's.
Nothing racist about enjoying some watermelon during the summer.

Not racist; just giving them what they like to eat FOR FREE.

Just mind the combos. You can serve fried chicken. You can serve watermelon. But, no sir, you may not comine them into one meal.

No. There’s nothing superior or inferior about liking watermelon.

It may be a stereotype. At some point the woke crowd decided those were as bad as racism, but they’re dumbasses.

No. Because watermelon is delicious and in season. White people everywhere eat watermelon all summer.

When you see the world through the lens of racism, it’s all that you see.

We kept our watermelon and milk in an onion sack in a spring fed creek when we went camping. Good times.
