Would You Drink This?

watermelon does a body good

A producer from All Things Harlem visited a Target store on 225th St., in New York City and made an interesting discovery. In the beverage aisle he found a brand of soda with a black girl eating watermelon on a can. He took to Target’s parking lot to poll customers, but not before showing them Picaninny caricature images. Peep the video of customers reacting to the watermelon soda below:

Hmmm…nothing like the delicious taste of fresh watermelon, but that thing can get real messy. Shout out to the slave masters for putting it in a can and making it so convenient for us. Please excuse me while I go to Target and stock up on watermelon soda. I think I’ll stop by Frenchies and grab some fried chicken to go along with my watermelon.

LOL @ getemgenius, like someone in the vid said: double standard? Having a white kid or asian looking kid chomping on the watermelon doesn’t lessen the ignorance on display.

[...] way you look at it, it’s important to point out the racist attitudes that exist in our midst. If this makes you uncomfortable, then you should ask yourself [...]
