N.Y. Bakery Makes “Drunken Negro Face” Cookies to Honor Obama
January 24th, 2009
Lafayette Franch Pastry, a New York bakery in Greenwich Village known for its tasty cookies and treats, is coming under fire for a tasteless and racist batch of chocolate treats called “Drunken Negro Head Cookies.” The cookies are dark brown with exaggerated facial features and cherry toppings. Ted Kefalinos, who first introduced the cookies on Martin Luther king Day last week, says he made the cookies to honor Obama. He also admits that he is not an Obama fan but thinks the cookies are a winner for him since every one in his first batch was sold. When customers asked Kefalinos why he made the cookies, he reportedly mentioned Obama and said the new President will “get his” just like Abraham Lincoln who inspires him. “I’m sorry that people were offended by the cookie,” says Kefalinos, who insists his product is not racist. No one got offended when he introduced “Dead Geese Bread” after a U.S. Airways plane crashed in the nearby Hudson River two weeks ago, he argues. Many New Yorkers plan to boycott the shop whose pastries were used in “Sex in the City” and Spike Lee’s “Jungle Fever.”

It’s about time we got a chance to a see who’s been hiding behind those white sheets. Now that we have a Black President racist people just can’t let go of all these years of racism black people really have been dicriminated against for years “still is today”and it’s not gonna change over night but if we continue to speak out against it and refuse to accept it we can one day live in world were everyman is created equal this isn’t a dream it’s a reality people wake up please or go see a psychiatrist.
IT’S ALL ABOUT RESPECT, AND IF THE CAN’T UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT THE FACT THAT A AFRICAN AMERICAN MAN WILL BE RUNNING THESE UNITED STATES FOR THE NEXT FOUR YEARS THEN THEY CAN TRY GOING TO ANOTHER COUNTRY. LIKE IT OR NOT CHANGE HAS COME AND HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE, AND THANK YOU TO ALL THE NON AFRICAN AMERICANS THAT MADE THE RIGHT DECISION TO MAKE THE CHANGE. ****IF OTHER COUNTRIES SEE THAT WE CANT COME TO GRIPPS WITH OUR BLACK PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, THEN THEY KNOW WE WONT GET ALONG WITH THEM.*********THEY ARE LAUGHING AT US ********”CHANGE PEOPLE”
this is such a stupid idea ok yea Obama is the first african american president get over it be happy for a CHANGE
I’m really not offended by the cookie itself, because to me it looks like the old Potato Head toy. I’m more offended by the name of the cookie…..What’s with the NEGRO name.
Furthermore, we really shouldn’t give these types of situations publicity to take advantage of. Let’s stay focused folks.
THE ECONOMY needs more attention.
Thanks for listening.

One word.. ****BOYCOTT.****
From the sound of his name, he’s not american anyway. Why not just send him back to his own country and let that be punishment enough. So people still haven’t learn how to be careful of what they say and how that chose to use certain words.
I guess he is like those men in the days who painted their faces black in the movies.
On day people are going to realize just how talent and very smart African American really are. In the old days they had all the ideas, but, no money are right to support them – But, now that we have money and rights, so the white man can’t get rich off of us anymore, this world is in a mess. But, President Obama has been chosen to lead by GOD – Letting everyone know that the Black can rise above their differences in life and be productive citizen in this society.
the man is a sick ass and it runs in his family from his parents on down
to his family tree. (dead wood) the best thing for dead trees is to cut it down
we went from the N word to the N word to Black.
from the out house to the White House
America is only great because of the hard work blacks and people
of all colors.
we now have a Black Man in the white house (Thank God)
who is for the the people of all colors( white to)
who is not Corrupt
who has many things to Correct and will Correct them
so when it’s all said and done, and it is done
if you can’t come Correct please don’t come at all
the cookie man is a coward and nothing but
and trying to make Money form his very bad jokes
and his cookies
God Bless President Obama and his Family
i stand with you:
wat da f*** is wrong wit yo ignorant azz
Man, I tell ya, these crazy folks in the world today. Shut boycott that stores and take away all that Cookie dough, it’s so sad to know this is about race rather than us in the world needing some change.
The crazy thang about it, is these one’s out here who aren’t liking the fact that we have a Black President in the White House, need help just as well as the rest of us having to deal with this economy changing, Bush the white man f***** it up for all of us, and ya’ll white one’s who out here trippin’ over color has got the nerve when all races were complaining and struggling, hell ya’ll broke just like some Black folk, Latino’s, Asian descent and etc, ain’t nothing incredible about ya’ll to think that no other persons out there can do just as better, do be jealous of his degree’s and accomplishments, he worked hard to get to where he is today, and that’s called EDUCATED.
So please do make another cookie, and when you do, just remember the chocolate one’s are completely done and ready to eat.
Very inapproriate! What does a Hillbilly Drunken Cookie look like! Cut the racist sh** out. Loving my Negroe, Black, African American race!! That is an ugly cookie.
He’s not a racist, he’s an I-D-I-O-T!!! I find this baker’s “Dead Geese Bread” just as offensive (remember Star, the DJ from Hot 97 playing the recording of an airplane or helicopter crashing after singer Aliyah died in a plane crash?) Some people will do anything for attention, even at the risk of being crude . . .
It is pure ignorance. Some people are saying that its just a cookie but it’s what the cookie was made for and what it stands for. Also, it’s what he’s saying about Obama that makes it wrong which is that he’s going to get his like Abraham Lincoln did the man he looks up to. What kind of BS is that. Yeah everyone’s entitlted to there own opinions but when you’re directing your comments like that then it makes it racist. The people who bought them are also ignorant.
We need to pray for people like him.
GET A LIFE….LEAVE OUR PRESIDENT ALONE.
Get use to it, we are on top!!!! The worst is yet to come! But we are the stronger ones, because we have been dealing with ignorance a LONG time.
I do not find this humorous at all, I find it offensive. Not all whites are racist either. Just the dumbs one are. and the Guy who made the cookie said something that should draw concern to the AMERICAN PEOPLE.!!!! “When customers asked Kefalinos why he made the cookies, he reportedly mentioned Obama and said the new President will “get his” just like Abraham Lincoln, It seems that he made a threat. ABRAHAM LINCOLN WAS SHOT. I dont like this, it very distrubing. MAY GOD WATCH OVER PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!
It looks like his wifes ass.
PEOPLE i told you these HATERS were going to come out the wood works. F%^& THEM!! they want to get a rise out of us. The ignorance of America is about to rear its ugly head. Look its just cookies. So F%^& it. At best we can hope that not too many more people fall for his crok of bull that they are for Obama. He’s pathetic as hell.
