Fried chicken is Southern food and black people are more numerous in the South. I don't know by what mechanism it became more widespread amongst black people nationwide though (slaves escaping to the North, free men and descendents simply moving north, etc.)

Kool-Aid is a cheap drink and is popular amongst poor communities across the board. Black people as a group tend to be poorer and so all sorts of poor stereotypes become associated with them.

Watermelon is one that's almost entirely out of nowhere. I don't remember the exact history on it but if you googled it you'd know as much as I do.
