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.

White men can't jump, but they are sure good at growing things.
What, he had a bunch of commies masquerading as "environmentalists" with him?
Homeschool not an option for me. But I do make sure she hears the other side. Several trips to the Reagan Library have helped.
The linked article has a picture of a cut watermelon as an example.
Watermelons? He should have it filled with tuna fish salad on white bread with mayonnaise sandwiches. Wrapped in cellophane.
No, no, no! Not mayonaise, Miracle Whip! And lime Jell-o for dessert.
In lieu of Twinkies.
LOL! Now that you mention it, I can't name a famous Jewish basketball player either.
He's a farmer perhaps he's a watermelon farmer. No clues as to where he's from. I'd guess somewhere east of the Mississippi River because of this, "wral.com"
It's such a simple matter to click on a state when posting an article.
isn’t WRAL in Raleigh, NC??
“...good at growing things.”
It’s difficult driving from NC into SC on the way to the beach...and NOT stopping at every little farmer’s produce stand along the road. Most people familiar with these stands understand the hard work and effort that goes into getting the farmer’s product to “market”. Buyers aren’t just spending money when they purchase, they’re showing respect for the farmer’s chosen “field”.
Not to mention, it’s just good eatin’.

There is a country grocery store, not to far from me, that has a “White Trash Food Festival” every year. They hold a contest in which you submit some sort of white trash dish. Rules are it must contain at least one of the following: Wonder Bread; Spam; Velveeta Cheeze; Miracle Whip; or Jell-O.
Those five ingredients are called the “White Trash Food Pyramid”.
No, this is not down South somewhere, it’s right here in Washington State.
Why would a trailer full of watermelons for sale in a 4th of July parade be “over the top”?
"Melanie, Here is something they dont teach in the white history books.
"Anthony Johnson was a black Angolan held as an indentured servant by a merchant in the Colony of Virginia in 1620, but later freed to become a successful tobacco farmer and property owner. Notably, he was the first true slave owner: that is, the first to hold a black African servant as a slave in the mainland American colonies. Upon his death in 1670, a court ruled that he was "a negro and by consequence, an alien", and the colony seized his land."
The first slave owner in the colonies was a black man from Angola. Ironically, his own law suit establishing slavery in the colonies caused his heirs lose his land after he died. There were over 3800 black slave owners in the south prior to the civil war.

I don't know, I'm just going by the "W". "W"s are east of the Mississippi and to the west are "K"s.
