N.Y. Bakery Makes “Drunken Negro Face” Cookies to Honor Obama

January 24th, 2009

 Racist Cookie

 

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.”

Attacking each other’s race is not going to solve this problem. President Obama made it clear that change starts from the bottom and moves up. All we can do is pray for this guy for his ignorance and work on ourselves.

He can make all the faces he wants to Obama is still President! SO he still got the last laugh….



Derrick Said on

regardless he can’t stop what has already happened Obama is president and he can get over it or not. It doesn’t matter..but that was tasteless and very ignorant on his part.

Why not make some crazy cookies, and let his face be the model. As far as he will get his like Lincoln he needs to be detained for threats towards the President, he is no longer Pres elect. I think he is a coward, simply put, but face 2 face he wouldn’t say anything of that nature.



GB Said on

Doesn’t sound like a “brotha”, maybe someone should beat his ass just because this dumb ~$*? owns a business.



ChiTown Said on

Oh! no! another attention seeking vacuous person with way too much time on his hands. Get a life idiot. People its a cookie. As Black americans we need to understand that these sort of attacks are nothing new and to keep our “Yes We Can” committment to ourselves and our children and for future generation. We as Black people we need to be ever so mindful that this is our time for unity. This is indeed our time. Peace.

hahahaha Said on

OMG how about shut up; its just a cookie!!!!!!!!!! Yall think that white people are so horrible, well the man says that it was not intended to be racist. TAKE A CLUE. STOP THE DRAMA.



chrissy Said on

someone stated the baker is black? IF THIS IS TRUE…. HE TOO NEEDS TO LOSE ALL HIS BUSINESS AND HAVE TO SHUT DOWN. I DO NOT BELIEVE A BLACK MAN WOULD DISCREDIT HIMSELF TO THIS POINT BUT I DO NOT CARE WHAT COLOR THE BAKER IS – HIS BUSINESS NEEDS TO BELLY-UP AND PERHAPS HE NEEDS TO ALSO. IF PEOPLE CONTINUE GOING THERE TO BUY FOOD – THEN SHAME ON THEM! CAN’T BLAME THE IDIOT – WE MUST BLAME OURSELVES FOR BUYING ANYTHING HE IS SELLING. AMEN

I think it was an insensitive gesture. And what does he mean by “Obama will get his like Lincoln”. I have news for this guy: Given the level of hope and positive energy Obama has put into the air I have an interesting theory: This guy has pissed off enough people that if ANY of these types of negative assertions about Obama’s well being continue and the man so much as slips on a banana or cut himself shaving, some of wonderful NY’s Obama supporters, oh so full of hope and angst would be glad to relieve this man of his bakery by burning it down. I’m sorry if it sounds a bit harsh but I grew up with the type. The really WOULD burn his bakery down and they live right here in good old New York City. I think I speak for most when I say: The coarse joking must end. This is America. We are allowed to disagree. But say Obama gonna end up like Lincoln just ONE MORE TIME. We’ll hang yer
sorrow behind in Macy’s window.
