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.”

i am not surprised. Racism is alive and well! ….and will not go away anytime soon…even with a Black President.

The cookie is terrible. Does this man mean that President Obama will get killed like President Lincoln did? If that was his meaning, the secret service should have him picked up. He is talking about the President of the United States, who by the way was put in office by a majority of white people. Yes the black vote was there, but by itself was not enough to put the President in. I think that this man should be fired and yes if I lived in New York, I would boycott the bakery and also insist that the film industry does not use that bakery again. Someone needs to make that baker send a written apology to our President.

all white people are not racist, and all black people are not racist. obama isnt where he is because of one race..he has white family also. the civil war had alot of white soldiers fighting for the slaves. hmmmmmmmm

To Desiree P, thank you so much for posting the video link of this retard. There is no excuse for this type of crap! I think this issue needs to be investigated a little more if you ask me, because from the video it sound like a threat on our President’s life. And David watch the video you idiot and see that he’s a white man. (You Big Dummy)

To BET, I don’t know if you reported this story to “keep crap flowing” or not, but in my opinion, YOU are promoting racism. Give me news…that promotes and inspires, not enflame and enrage. To the individual that made the cookies….be careful what you bake, you may get burned in the process. Not a day goes by that I don’t see racism in some form. We have yet to overcome, but I’m doing my part to make the world a better place.

Education is KEY!! Educate yourselves……

God is love. Be Blessed EVERYONE!!

I think that the owner of this establishment is a RACIST and because of his cowardness, he is denying it. He is el Presidente and he will be for 8 consecutive years. I would like it to be duly noted that of all of the Presidents that America has had only this One, Barack is named in the Bible. So, for all you good old-fashioned racist christians, what do you think about that. Judges 4-5 the story of Deborah and Barack. Many are called, but few are chosen. HE WAS CHOSEN. He was chosen for a time such as this, to help the world be delivered from the mess that our supposed forefarthers has gotten us into, including the BUSHES, for it is under their rule that we AMERICANS, are now feeling the raft of other countries. Make cookies of BUSH eating with TForeign Terrorist, congradulate that.

I think we all can agree that the cookies were in poor taste and the presumed racist baker most have lost his mind. I noticed a Temple University faculty member used words such as Negroids and Darky to describe African Americans on the bakery shop fan page. I googled the incident and found less than intelligent replies from people of color and it bothers me. Is it logical to throw back racial slurs at other ethnic groups after people of all colors stood side by side on Jan 20th? Why confirm what racists think of us by lowering ourselves to their level. Can we not express ourselves without using a curse word or a racial slur? It is puzzling that some African Americans believe only Caucasians can be racist.

Although we will see a lot of snakes drawn out of their hiding places over the next couple of months; we cannot allow a few demons to take that joy we felt on Jan 20th.

Kim Clark Said on

“TOTALLY, TOTALLY AND UNFORGIVABLE” TASTELESS!!! AND ”(the cookie),” IS PROBABLY “NOT” THAT GOOD EITHER, LIKE THE “BAD AND SICK” HUMOR… NOT GOOD… (LAUGH, LAUGH). HE IS “SILLY AND “SOMEWHAT” OF A LIAR. CONSIDERING, HE “IS NOT” AN OBAMA FAN, WHAT MAKES HIM THINK THAT OUR PRESIDENT “WOULD FIND” THE HUMOR IN THIS!!! (madd, sadd) HE SHOULD BE “STRIPPED” OF HIS BAKERY LICENSE.

NOW…, I “BET” HE “WOULD NOT” FIND THAT FUNNY AT ALL… (laugh, laugh)…

It is sooooo unfortunate that this “man” who is clearly racist, believes that his stupid cookies will stop what has already come to be – An African-American in the White House! President Barack Obama is here to stay. If there is anyone who will “get their’s” it’s Kefla-lame-nos!!! Karma is a b****! and it looks like a cookie!

If something happens to obama behind some racist s**t, His BAKERY WILL BE THE 1ST WE BURN DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
