Ya know...I'm 72 and from Upstate NY. All my life I've eaten watermelon and NEVER connected it to blacks until we got into this administration which sees racism at every turn and every word...but disregards reverse racism.
Never connected the confederate flag as racist either. They were citizens just like the Northern Army. Their dead is no different than our dead.
Look up some old Florida postcards. Lots of watermelon and stealing corn racist themes.
T’was an old stereotype of darker bretheren enjoying watermelon...

Agreed on the confederate flag. The lengths they are going now to hide it amount to having their ears covered blabbering “I can’t hear you!” Idiocracy...
So, you were appropriating black culture? /sarc
When watermelon became an issue a few years ago, the same day the LSM made it an issue, there was an article about Israeli agriculturists teaching Arab farmers how to grow watermelons better in the ME.
I think that was the same day I learned with Arab BDS was.
Funny you mention this. If you travel overseas, no one else in the world associates watermelon to blacks. They will just give you a funny look and say “Huh?”
