Just a move on Madonna's part to stir the pot and attract attention. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato | |

VERY poor taste. She knew this was going to cause controversy. She's not that stupid. "It's not nice to fuck with K.B.! All you haters will see!" - Kitbradley | |

If there was a Like button for your post I would press it.
It's not Madonna, but social media users that like to stir shit and are sensitive about everything. I'm not from the USA, so what is the connection with watermelons and black Americans? | |

Given all the crap that's taking place right this minute on social media regarding race, any American adult posting historically stupid crap in public is stirring the pot. That could of been saved for the family picture album. When will people take responsibility for their own actions. Year of Return 2019 | |

an extremely racist, insensitive and attention seeking scheme, from an old and fading attention whore...she knew what she was doing. | |

Exactly.
In 2019 (really, since January 1, 2001, if you want a more precise date) no caucasian person in this country has any excuse nor can claim any "innoncence" in terms of not knowing the historical & cultural significance of blatant ethnic stereotypes like "blackface" & "African-americans with watermelon."
Any person that wants to joke or play with these blatant stereotypes certainly can do so if they wish. Then, if they have the complete lack of social awareness (or apathy) to post such craziness on social media.. they should be prepared for - & not be the least bit surprised by - the negative feedback they get.
Anyone who actually doesn't know how or why "African-americans with watermelon" is seen as offensive.. would do themselves well to educate themselves on the how & why of this. Any such person has been wrapped up in a small cultural cocoon for too long.
In terms of Madonna: this is par for the course, she's been down this road before herself. She knew exactly what she was doing when she decided to post those photos of those African children with the watermelon.
With apparently little (if any) discernable musical talent or ability left, she can certainly add another 45 to 60 seconds of "fame" to her clock.
I'll see you tonight..

This really is not an issue. . On the 3rd day God created the watermelon and said "Mmmm it is good and blessed it" . The watermelon is a distinct fruit cultivated from Africa. If people can 'take back' the N word, which has no redeeming qualities, then take back the watermelon. . It is the chief of this world's luxuries, king by the grace of God over all the fruits of the earth. When one has tasted it, he knows what the angels eat. -Mark Twain .
1. Watermelons are good for your heart
2. They may prevent prostate cancer
3. Watermelons are high in vitamin B1
4. They increase the production of arginine Watermelons contain a unique amino acid called citrulline, which our bodies use to manufacture another amino acid called arginine. Arginine plays a direct role in the volume and direction of blood flow in the body. It's currently being researched in treating erectile dysfunction, with promising results.
5. Watermelons are the perfect post-workout snack

There really is no issue--but, yeah, it is a "race thing" in the U.S.. "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato | |

Faux. Outrage. I know the racial connitations of watermelons. But in context it has nothing to do with these photos. People, like usual, are projecting their own prejudices on Madonna.

of course its a "race thing"
and of course most people that are not african american, will also be insenstive to it, and defend Madonna, and throw insults and make light of those who find her photos racist...thats just the world we live in and that will never change..as long as people have been able to record history, there has been wars, bigotry and prejudices over their differences...whether it be race, gender, sexuality, religion, country, age, etc...its one of the ugly parts of human nature ...everybody doesnt like something...and everybody has their own free will to express or project those dislikes, even at their own risk... people also have the same right to express their displeasure about it as well...thats life..
