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.”

Idiot is a good name for him. “Racism doesn’t exist anmore”, people have gotten so use to being racist it is just another ay for them now. I would eat something so ugly anyway let alone spend mone on it.
How racist can white people get, wait they always been racist!
This is very offensive, if you are not African American you will never understand. he is a racist no matter what he says. To bake such a cake and think it is ok is ignorant. All you can do is Pray for “mr baker man” I bet no other movies makers will use that bakery ever again!
That’s a race statement if any, this business needs to be shut down, no one get this message now this is about race. Shut down business.
Maybe he ought “to get his”, just like Sal’s Pizzeria in “Do the Right Thing.”
