Is there some racist message with regards to the watermelon, that I'm missing?

Sorry, not American. But to me it just looks like a painting of some black people.

this dude i know was in florida (i'm from canada) and he was at a gas station, and he finished pumping the gas, and was paying the attendant, when he said, "Argh, it's so annoying here, all the money is the same colour. In Canada, it's all different colours so it's easy to tell the difference between 20's and tens etc".

The attendant looked him in the eyes and said, "we have enough colors down here"

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt here. Just search for "blackface" or "black face" maybe in wikipedia.

The image itself isn't as racist as the fact that it won something. That's just scary.

I mean the fence is pretty money though.

bad taste and appaling racist content

scene from predator that didn't make it past the cutting room floor.

And srsrly, who the f--k doesn't like watermelon?

In fact, I can do you one better. I just discovered this soda the other day:




It is the greatest beverage in the history of liquid.



I mean, how do you even begin to think to try to insult somebody by saying they like watermelon.

A person that tries to insult another person by saying they like watermelon is clearly, clearly a person that has totally run out of insults.

Like, 'Why you... You black person, you... You, um... LIKE WATERMELON! TAKE THAT! How does that make you feel, huh? Sick burn I know."
