It appears that the baseket had watermelon (and many other flavors) of gum.

If it was an all black band, and they included only watermelon gum, I could see the racism, but it seems like its quite possible they wanted to include some gum, and bought a bunch of different flavors, one of which was watermelon.

Unless there is new info, I don't see the racsim from what was said in the report.

Hard to draw conclusions from that report. The givers were mixed race, the recipients unknown. . . Journeyman Oct 2015 #6
