Also slaves and workers would be "paid" in produce and watermelon is sweet, and cooling.

So basically, watermellon is a "black thing" because it's delicious? Ok. Americans are weird.

No because slaves had very little pleasures, so that when people would see them "having a party" out in the fields, it was just them taking a break and having a treat. So watermelon became a symbol of the easy, jolly life of a slave. Seriously.
