Farmer Donnie Spell, who has driven his tractor in the Hope Mills parade for years, tacked a sign saying "White History Month – Hug Wht Ppl" to a trailer filled with watermelons that he pulled down Main Street during Thursday's event.

What’s wrong with that? Or “Support the White Caucus?”
the watermelons are over the top but its about time someone starts to ask why don’t we have “white history month”?=...
my employer, a major corporation, has banners on the home web page for celebrating “gay pride month”...within earshot of the office manager i asked “what month do we celebrate hetrosexual pride?”
What? they aren’t bowing down in abject submission to the great god of PC? Don’t they know their place?
They'll probably create a special graphic & theme music for the story.
Why are watermelons over the top? I like watermelon. What is more American that watermelon, summertime and a parade?
“...the watermelons are over the top...”
I agree. But, that’s only because they were stacked on top of the straw. He risked losing some of them because they could’ve rolled out and hit the ground. Would’ve been a waste of good watermelon.
It’s a “racist” stereotype to the PC, donchaknow.
I love it here in North Carolina, lol.
I see a few of the usual suspects in the comments section of this article b*tching that they “need” a black history month because standard history has always focused on white contributions. Sorry (not really, since the truth is the truth), but white males did make most of the significant contributions in western history. Whatever the reasons for that, it’s the truth.
Whites here in CA are an oppressed minority group. We are now below 40% of the population. No wonder CA, once the heart of Reagan Country, is now as solidly blue and one party as MA or HI.
In the public schools all they teach about Cesar Chavez and MLK Jr. Never anything about our Founding Fathers or great Americans like Gen. Douglas MacArthur or George Patton. I know. I help my child with her homework. It is all about Cesar Chavez and MLK Jr. Period.
this is my neck of the woods. Good guy.
That’s nothing. I’m an EVE player, and I noticed a guy in the local system mining with a ship he named “Oprah Winfrey”
I private convo’d him and told him that he owed me a keyboard, as I had sprayed my morning coffee all over mine.
His comment on the mining ship name was, “She like to eat a lot.”
That she does. That she does...
Homeschool or lose her to the State indoctrination machine...
We had us some waddymelon over the 4th of July weekend.
I like it.
Collards, fried chicken & watermelon were part of my diet growing up. Only later did I learn these items are now deemed “soul food”, and that any public mention of them by any nonblack person is an act of insensitivity & racism.
Every “Earth Day” I always wonder,
“When is Private Property Rights Day?”
The watermelons were intended to be over the top; It's just another way to emphasize his 1st Amendment right.
Secondly, the question of the right to a "White History Month" or "White" beauty contest/college/TV Channel/anything presents a strong and legit challenge to both the 1st Amendment and 14th Amendment.
Gen X, Y, and Z are totally ignorant of any US history before 1963. But recent grads are proficient at being sponges of the recent history of the condom, the pill, entitlement, and iPhones...and believing Whitey and conservatives are oppressive.
