Picaninny (or any other spelling) is a term for an unkept wild child, for anyone from the south they know this term and it is used generally to any kid who looks like a mess. Black children being poor as a standard in early American history is something that is a fact, so seeing an unkept black child and refering to him or her as a pickaninny was meant in harmless fun. Rugrats, Bushbabies, carpet sharks, wildboys, ruffians, hooligans, etc are all part of the same lexicon. Watermelon, as a general rule, is cheap. Poor people eat cheap food, even when we didnt have dinner we had watermelon when I was growing up. LOL A NIGGER EATING WATERMONllOLOLOLO OMG has always been somewhat of a disappointment for me as its much funnier when they are buying menthols or selling crack to our white daughters. This image, is a simple ad talking about watermelon ice cream, sold to children. With a picture of a messy looking kid using the artstyle of the time which Dragonball Z paid homage to. Because its an artstyle.

Would it have been better to show this art style?



Oh wait, he's a characature of a stereotypical black preteen, lets make the ad white. Because that wont hurt anyone.



Now we're talking.
