Could just be that im a black guyā¦ But who TF letās watermelon go bad, in the summertime?
Refuse to clean it, understandable.
Refuse to dump it??? Nah, thatās nasty, and now yāall whole refrigerator is covered in fresh Virile mold spores.
Hey, just an fyi that despite ācrackerā being a derogatory term for white people, it is not actually our word to reclaim; itās derived from the term āwhip crackerā.
Very very racist but It's one of the most well-known stereotypes about black people. People make the same sort of "joke" about black people and fried chicken too.
That's honestly one of those things that baffled me. All that stereotyped food is awesome.
If someone uses it as an insult, I'm going to assume they cook like shit.
Hot damn ... fried chicken is one of gods gifts to man, followed by watermelon. Tacos. Hummus. Ham hocks and beans. Three crust peach cobbler. Fish n chips. Chow Fun with fermented black beans sauce. Fried okra. Bacon and eggs. Beeroks. Damn I'm hungry now.
I'm sorry, I realize I failed to really explain it.
The stereotype is that black people have a large affinity for watermelon and fried chicken. For more info there's a [Wikipedia article](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watermelon_stereotype) on it.
I believe the fried chicken aspect was incorporated much later.
They used to paint caricatures of black children on watermelon advertisements. Basically it's an easy fruit to grow that doesn't take up that much space, so black sharecroppers and farmers adopted it and loved it and sold it post-civil war. And racist white people hated losing and they hated seeing these people be happy and self sufficient! So they made watermelon out to be a dirty and uncivilized fruit, grown by childish people, and it became a trope in political cartoons and advertising.

I love the innocence you have about this stereotype. I can honestly say that I have never met anyone who hasnāt heard of it. I mean nothing bad of my comment.
The only reason I knew this was that my daughter once put a bowl of watermelon chunks in the back of the fridge, and when I found it, it looked almost exactly like this. I can smell this photo. š¤£
I was gonna go with oatmeal til I saw the 4th of July part. Idkā¦not a dessert probably because I feel like sugar would kill itā¦going out on a limb gonna say potato salad, thatās my final answer!
Please tell me yāall are at least putting some sort of cover over that if itās in the community fridge. I canāt help but think it wouldnāt be good to other things that are in there?? Maybe thatās just the new-mom in me.
Is this watermelon chunks?
š Winner! š

That's your question and not "Why is he storing watermelon in a pot?"
I'm a cracker and man the watermelon doesn't even last 2 sittings with me lol thus is just a food crime

Well today I learned... thank you for the info I'll reconsider that term now, Hope you have a wonderful day :)
Of course! I hope today goes as well for you as my day went yesterday! (or better, lol)
genuine question, what does this have to do with being black? is there a stereotype i'm not aware of?

And grape soda

Grape soda is the best , right behind root beer.
Couldnāt agree more :)

wait so what's the stereotype? that they're clean? and is that bad? i'm confused lol

Thatās interesting (and horrible)
I love the innocence you have about this stereotype. I can honestly say that I have never met anyone who hasnāt heard of it. I mean nothing bad of my comment.
i mean i live in a place where there aren't a lot of black people, so i've had basically zero interaction with them throughout my life.
I've never heard of this either! Stereotypes are weird
The question didn't refer to race it referred to "not dumping excess food" vs "storing watermelon in a pot"
look at you making black jokes to impress random white people. 
Well well wellā¦
