    You might try http://www.atlapedia.com. And, since you admit being outspoken, try to ‘stifle,’ as Archie Bunker would say. Think of it as a classroom with everyone else being a teacher and yourself the student.

    I’m definitely not an authority on the subject but will take a guess: Watermelons need a long growing season (or at least did before they came up with new types) and were therefore grown mainly in the South. The crop was probably so easy to grow that they used them as cheap food for slaves – or maybe they were so cheap to buy that poor people could afford them. They then became a sign of a ‘lower class’ of people, and because blacks were the poorest, the association became a slam.
