In reply to the discussion: 'Are Fried Chicken And Watermelon Racist?' MTV's Franchesca Ramsey Asks... [View all]Jamaal510
(10,893 posts)29. I never did
like watermelons. They aren't sweet enough, and it's a hassle to cut the melon into slices, and to always have to spit the seeds out as I eat one. I did used to like watermelon-flavored Trix yogurt when I was a kid, but that's it.
As far as fried chicken goes, I like it (preferably KFC), but I don't have it that often--usually my family has Popeye's once a week when I'm back home for the summer and winter. When I'm upstate for school, I can't have it at all because there are none of those stores in the entire town. And fried chicken isn't even my top dinner choice; I'm a pizza nut.

OP
How did fried chicken and watermelon come to be associated with black people?

True, especially when rolled out as the menu for "Black History Month."
