Why is it ok for black people to love watermelon but it's racist to notice?

[Big Black Dog]

I am Caucasian, and don't mind the slightest that certain types of food or activities are associated with groups of Whites (German, Italian, etc.). I therefore cannot understand why Blacks are offended when certain foods, such as fried chicken or watermelon, are associated with their race.

I thought it was well know that certain cultures and ethnicities favored certain foods and that pride was involved in the preparation and consumption of these foods.

When I say that Blacks, on average, have a stronger preference for fried chicken than Whites, on average, I am not criticizing or mocking anyone or anything.

Perhaps I am too insensitive to the feelings of Blacks, or it could be that some Blacks need to stop seeing everything in terms of racial overtones.

Maybe I am old and simplistic. But when I see a Black man eating a watermelon, all I see is a man refreshing himself with something cold, sweet and delicious. It makes me want to trade places with him. My refresher of choice is alcoholic, but to each his own.

My grandmother, a white lady, served fried chicken just about every Sunday for lunch that I can remember.

White people like watermelon just as much as black people. Me thinks your post fails.

Do you know the history of the Unites States?

Yes, over 200 years of dealing with an Afro infestation pulling down our nation. For the last 40 years we have transferred trillions of dollars to them through welfare and racial preferences. Even before that, we gave them more than they could have had in any Afro-African country.

Seriously shithead, your talk of history is bullshit. Democrats sicked dogs on Afros. Democrats voted against Civil Rights legislation. Democrats wrote Jim Crow laws. Democrats formed the KKK. And, in return, Afros have given Democrats their undieing loyalty.

Seriously shithead, if history accounts for Afros being animals, why are Afros more like animals today than a century ago? Their Illegitimate births have increased, welfare as increased, crime has increased, drug abuse has increased...

Seriously shithead, if history has fucked up Afros, then they're fucked up. They support Trayvon because they're fucked up. They support Obama because they're fucked up...

Dammit

I got no chicken to fry or watermelon.

I got porkchops though, but that's slander on puerto ricans, so shhhh

White guy by way of Irish genes and I am a watermelon addict in the summer. And the only reason I don't eat them in the winter is I can't find any that taste as good. Been dealing with the same guy at the local farmers' market for about 10 years now, and because he knows I'm coming by and loyal to him and his melons mine are always set aside for me. Selected by the watermelon master himself.

And after a nice watermelon feast a little fried chicken for dessert is always nice.

I know a guy who lost his job because he bought a watermelon.

It was the EZ-Lube. It was screamingly hot and the manager brought in a watermelon iced down in an ice chest for the guys. The one black guy on the crew walked off and refused to have any. He later lodged a complaint of racial harassement against the manager for bringing in the watermelon and the company just let him go.

I'm not a black person but i love water mellon. Does that pose a problem for you?

I don't believe so... why, should it?
