Watermelons With Seeds Are Racist
When will black people stop being such whiny babies? A black man is on the brink of winning the Presidency of the USA, yet still, there are blacks that are seeing invisible racist imagery everywhere they look. Including now, if they see an anthropomorphic caricature of a Watermelon Seed.
Jim and Veronica Thrasher, residents of Sacramento, went to the state fair and became enraged at pictures of seeds painted up like people. These seeds were created to promote the bountiful seed-producing crops of Colusa County, California. Why so angry? Because the Watermelon seed was black. Just like, er, um… watermelon seeds.

From the SACBEE here:
Jim Thrasher and his wife were enjoying the California State Fair this weekend until they came upon the Colusa County exhibit.
For the black couple from Sacramento, the exhibit’s depiction of “Waldo Watermelon Seed” conjured up painful images of the Jim Crow era.
The cartoon-like character was “the standard caricature you’d see from the old days, 50, 60, 70 years ago – black face, buckteeth, bug eyes holding a watermelon,” said Thrasher, 58.
“It brought back memories of my childhood in Ohio where the Klan still marched, when racism was overt, all the name-calling I and my family had to endure,” Thrasher said.
The display, created by several teens at Colusa High, was intended to reflect the county’s production of melons, pumpkins and watermelons.
Wow, this black dude needs to see a shrink for his panic disorders. He sees a happy watermelon seed and he thinks about klan rallies from 70 years ago? Get a grip, Thrasher. Next you’ll be saying that seedless watermelons represent the white man’s attempt to cut the balls off of the black man. Clearly watermelons are a racist fruit.
At least the watermelon seed looks happy. What’s the deal with dour, bitter, “Patrick Pumpkin Seed?” Is he upset because Waldo Watermelon Seed won’t stop talking during the movie? Or is he angry that his thumbs are on backwards?
When Thrasher complained about the display, Fair organizers quickly took Waldo Watermelon Seed down. They used a German Shepard and a firehose to knock it off the wall.
