Different connotation.Whites never had the racist cartoons or history to go with the stupid stereotype that the blacks had to deal with.The stupid watermelon stereotype goes back to slavery times,IDK when the coke and Starbucks thing started but it seems fairly recent as compared to the watermelon and caged animal.
Also note the watermelon picture was posted by a tea party member from a state w/ less than 1% black population.This was an internet meme.
It might be stereotypical, maybe a little racist but not to the extent the other pic was.
That's just my opinion
