I never understood the relationship between blacks and watermelon... I actually like eating watermelons so why is that considered derogatory to blacks?

Yeah, for some reason, racist jokes have been out of vogue for the last 30 years.

I figure Obama supporters send stuff like that so they can dismiss all dissent as racist

Yet it is positively fashionable for every black comedian to make fun of whitey in every derogatory manner imaginable.

It isn’t derogatory... thin skinned people want it to be. If anything tha e-mail may be offensive to the White House (which is the people’s house) and not insulting to the sitting President.

For crying out loud....our old neighbor from South Carolina (white guy)....used to sit down with a knife, a salt shaker and a whole watermelon...we used to say, "man that Harold is one water-melon eatin' fool"

I could draw a picture of it...big ole Harolds white face half hidden by a huge slice... Yep...ole Harold the Watermelon Eatin' Honkey.

We should make a bumper sticker: Honky If You Love Watermelon

I never understood why it is possible to have a network called BET (Black Entertainment TV). It would cause an uproar when white people create WET (White Entertainment TV).

Humor is to a liberal what a Crucifix is to a vampire.
