Would someone please explain why watermelons and black folk are supposed to be racist? I’m not disputing it, I just don’t understand what that’s all about.

You know, I’m not sure. Same thing with fried chicken. I’m a lily-white Southerner and watermelons and fried chicken were served at every family gathering we had during the summers when I was growing up. I have a feeling that little racial stereotype started in the north. To this day, my Mom keeps watermelon on hand during the summer.
