kay mac :
The stereotype actually comes from Black people having very successful watermelon farms, and their white counterparts being upset about it. So as a way to discourage black people from watermelon farming they created racist stereotypes and caricatures

The watermelon stereotype in the United States originated in the years after the American Civil War and the end of slavery. After emancipation, many newly freed Black Americans grew, sold, and ate watermelons because they were relatively inexpensive to cultivate and could provide a source of income. For many Black families, watermelon became a symbol of freedom, self-sufficiency, and economic independence. That success provoked backlash from some white Southerners. Through racist cartoons, minstrel shows, postcards, advertisements, and later films, they deliberately transformed watermelon into a degrading stereotype. Black people were portrayed as lazy, childish, dirty, and obsessed with watermelon in an effort to undermine their claims to equality and citizenship.

It’s actually deeper than just being a surface level joke. Black people were making money from watermelons.

It's because African Americans created an economy from growing and selling watermelons and their economic status started to shift to being stable and racial hate from yt Americans "demonized" watermelon to discourage the profit-boosts Black communities started to see.

It came from racist propaganda post slavery because black farmers were having success with watermelon in farming.
