Nobody said Kool-aid in and of itself is racist I ate a shitload of watermelon when I was a kid but that doesn't change the fact that black people liking watermelon is a stereotype.

I am not from the south. I personally don't get the watermelon or chicken thing myself because I was not raised with hate in my heart for black folks but did know it could be a racial slur. The "don't drink the kool-aid" is associated with Obama and it is not a racial slur.

I seriously doubt that whoever made the jpg was thinking of Jonestown. I would be willing to bet money if you asked, "Why is there Kool-aid on your image good sir?" that would not be the answer they came up with.

I am not so sure, but only the person who made it can answer that.

Let's think about this using occam's razor.

You have an image with watermelon, fried chicken, ribs, kool-aid.

Watermelon - stereotype of black people
fried chicken - stereotype of black people
ribs - stereotype of black people
kool aid - a commentary on Obama's fandom and reference to a cult situation in the 1970s.

I'll go with these as the more logical choice:

I guess we will agree to disagree on "don't drink the kool-aid" or otherwise know as sugar, water, purple.
