The meaning of this meme:

If a person from a non-black ethnic group, such as an Asian, invites a black person to eat fried chicken or watermelon, it would be a complete joke. Because when people of other races treat black people to eat fried chicken or watermelon, in their eyes it is a form of discrimination and humiliation against their race, but it does not matter between black people.

The source of this meme:

In fact, the reason why non-black people treat black people to eat fried chicken and watermelon is regarded as racial discrimination. There are indeed historical reasons, which can be traced back The darkest period for black people is directly related to some of the practices and views of white Americans towards black people.

Before the end of the American Civil War (also known as the American Civil War) in 1865, the vast slave-holding states in the southern United States practiced slavery and enslaved nearly four million black slaves. The darkest period for black people. In the slave owners' plantations, a large number of black slaves performed arduous work under whips and had no status, personality or freedom at all.

At that time, in order to provide enough food for black people, slave owners allowed them to grow watermelons in the open spaces of plantations for consumption. Watermelons are a fruit with large yields, good taste, simple cultivation, and most importantly. The price is low, so in the eyes of white slave owners, watermelon is simply the best food for black slaves. Sometimes slaves also use watermelon as a reward for black slaves' hard work.

Similar to the situation with watermelons, in order to provide sufficient sources of meat for black slaves, slave owners also allowed black slaves to raise livestock for their own use or sell them to subsidize their families, but slave owners did not allow them to raise them at will. Livestock, cattle, sheep, and pigs were troublesome to raise, affected the work of black slaves, and were more expensive "medium and high-end livestock." Slave owners did not allow black slaves to raise them because they were afraid that they would make money by raising large animals.

And low-level poultry like chickens had limited economic value in the United States at that time, and slave owners did not care. Because raising chickens was simple and the price was low, it did not matter to them. Therefore, white slave owners Let the black slaves raise chickens as their main source of meat. For black slaves, it was perfect to turn chicken into fried chicken, a delicious, high-calorie and high-protein food, which could just supplement the large amount of calories they consumed during their daily heavy work.

Because watermelon and fried chicken taste delicious and are easy to grow or raise, these two foods were deeply loved by black slaves at that time, and watching the black slaves eat such "low-grade" If they are so happy with the "junk" food, white slave owners will look down upon it and laugh at the black slaves who swallow watermelon and fried chicken. Some white people even think that black people are simple and easy-to-satisfy creatures who only deserve to be eaten. Eating watermelon fried chicken on a plantation and thereby declaring black people inferior and unworthy of freedom.

And this phenomenon of white people’s discrimination against black people through food did not disappear with the complete abolition of slavery in the United States after 1865. Instead, it became more and more serious, because free black people were under the influence of white racists. No matter how awkward it looks in their eyes, they want to belittle black people and discriminate against black people in every aspect.

Usage of this meme:

It is best not to invite black people to eat chicken on weekdays. They may think that you are disrespectful to them.
