Fact: You cannot own a pumpkin patch and also be a racist!

It's unpossible!

Jack Moore, supervisor for the town of Henrietta, admits he referred to black people as “city cousins” – but he insists that his record as the owner of a pumpkin patch and greenhouse shows he’s not racist, reported the Democrat & Chronicle.

“I’m not a racist,” said Moore, owner of Gro-Moore Farms. “You couldn’t be a racist and build a business like I did.”

The 58-year-old Moore was recorded April 10 by a Department of Public Works employee while criticizing President Barack Obama’s health care reform law.

“You don’t know about cousins in the city?” Moore said. “We get all kinds of them, they bus them out here, OK?”

To believe that only blacks liked watermelons. In fact, I've never known anyone who didn't love watermelons!

but I hate watermelon. It's too sweet and mild of flavor for my liking. It's like licking the sugar bowl or drinking that glucose liquid (basically unflavored kool-aid or sugar dissolved in water) they give me before certain medical tests.
