Never understood that stereotype. You don't get more white than my family, and we had fried chicken and watermelon like every week. Of course I grew up an hour from the watermelon capitol of the world. Cordele, GA.

The stereotype comes from both watermelon and fried chicken being cheep and southern i would imagine.

I guess it depends on where you are. Watermelons are like gold in Japan.

Why?

I mean he's clearly poking fun at stereotypes.

I'm from the south. Fried Chicken and Watermelon are staples in the south. It doesn't matter what color you are - the stuff is good!

I think he's just poking fun at the people who are too sensitive to laugh at stupidity, racism and stereotyping. If more people would remove the "power" those stereotypes have by learning to recognize ignorance as a laughable trait - they would cease to be effective and would die out eventually. More power to him for fighting ignorance with "in your face" comedy!

I think I am the only southern black man on the planet that doesn't eat grits or watermelon. I love some fried chicken though!

Pretty stupid to mark your body for the rest of your life for something so trivial and silly.
