Yes No View Results Fox & Friends is embroiled in controversy after it aired a Halloween segment showing a black child dressed up as a WATERMELON!! The segment was slammed as racially insensitive with social media users voicing outrage which has struggled with a string of controversies. A number of children were invited to the studio to display costumes for the Halloween holiday and kids dressed as rainbows and robots were featured..until it moved onto "organic fruit" costumes. A presenter says "Lucas is our watermelon" before a child of ethnic minority is introduced. The reaction was swift as users condemned the network for the move One user said "Overt racism, foolishm racism, or tone deaf racism?" Another said "No, they don't get the benefit of the doubt, Fox & Friends dresses up black child as watermelon for Halloween" But others defended the network as one person said "Let's be clear, watermelon is not racist and neither is fried chicken. signed black lady in NC. People nowadays have lost their minds" The racist stereotype of portraying African Americans as excessively fond of watermelon began during the 19th century, shortly after slaves won their freedom. Watermeon became a staple crop for black farmers after emancipation. Southern whites threatened new agricultural competitors and still reeling from the loss of war and responded by associating watermelons with racist tropes aimed at black people.
