Welp Samford has made international news.

LINK

quote:

The front of the T-shirt, which was made for the sorority's spring formal, showed an image of an African-American person eating a slice of watermelon inside an illustration of the southern U.S. state


I think it's safe to say they've made something of a faux pas with their choice of t-shirt decoration.

African-Americans liking watermelon is considered a racial stereotype and is generally regarded as offensive.

Is this really that offensive? I put this right there with calling LSU fans, corndogs. Who doesn't love watermelon, and corndogs?
shite, I wouldn't call it gourmet, but I would have no problem with a meal of corndogs, finished with watermelon.

I, for one, am outraged such a travesty can occur in our great nation. It's 2016 people! Not all black folk like watermelon, ok?

Looks like they yanked an old state of Alabama picture from a LONG time ago. It really is a not awesome one to use.

Still, it is dumb that this made the news but that is what happens when you have to fill your pages with something 24/7.

Just another overreaction to our butt-hurt SJW world.

That's a strong feeling about a fruit. I don't know if I could be emotionally invested enough to not be able to stand a fruit.


Unless of course, that fruit is being used to violate my bum.
