Hmmm,

I don't know what or who would had came up with that idea to sell something like that. Knowing the memories of people had back in the day when segeration was going on. As for Target hmmmm I guess they will sell anything to make a buck.

It is not an US item... and it's a watermelon soda.... no big deal, I am not offended by every little thing. on the other size of the can there a white kid eating watermelon. Watermelon is a sweet cool fruit, I love it, especially on an hot day in Miami.

I can really see your Point as well as the other that spoke on the video Yes there is a white kid BUT they never refer them to fried chicken, and watermelon.. They had to put white one there (no offense) so the people wouldn't totally said that is racist thing they done....

I guess there's nothing offensive about these, either:











And more recently, the mayor of Los Alamitos, CA sent out an email with this graphic with the heading, "No Easter egg hunt this year":



Even if the manufacturer of the soda isn't aware of the negative connotations of the image on the soda can, Target should KNOW BETTER.
