Racist Baker Bakes 'Drunken Negro Faces'

At at a time when any decent baker should have been selling racially harmonious black and white cookies by the truckload, one Greenwich Village bakery popular with celebrities and shows like Sex and the City has outraged neighbors by selling a "Drunken Negro Face" cookie in, um, "honor" of President Obama. [Video below.] A shocked customer tells My Fox NY that Ted Kefalinos, proprietor of Lafayette French Pastry, asked her, "Would you like some drunken negro heads to go with your coffee? They're in honor of our new president. He's following in the same path of Abraham Lincoln; he will get his."

I love how it's all the white people that are kicking up a stink. The few black people the reporter does interview don't seem too upset at all.

Without knowing more about it, I'd say its just the news blowing this thing way out of proportion like usual. Political correctness gone mad.

"[Obama is] following in the same path of Abraham Lincoln; he will get his."

oh my, can you just imagine?

"The Assassination of Barack Obama, one of the last major events in an American Civil Society, took place on Good Friday, April 14, 2009, when President Barack Obama was shot while attending a performance of 'Our Kenyan Cousin' at the Apollo Theater with his wife and two guests, 2Pac and Biggy Smalls. Obama's assassin, former child actor and Neo-Con sympathizer, Gary Coleman, after leaping to the stage from the President's box was heard to shout, "What you talkin' 'bout Willis?"

This baker is a criminal in thought and deed.

1) He's exercising his right to free speech for purposes other than praising Obama.
2) He's using only WHITE flour.
3) He's making a profit.
4) Worst of all, he owns his own business instead of being dependent on the State.


It's not enough to boycott him, can't we charge him with a cookie hate crime or something?

1) No one is saying that Obama should not be criticized.
2) He's probably using yellow flower actually (the trans-fat of flours).
3) I'm sure his customer base will dwindle considering he's in a liberal area.
4) Worst of all, he has people like you coming out of the woodwork to defend this callus and insensitive cookie making.

If he were making "Greedy Jewish Head" cookies would you have a problem with it?

Get real, it's 2009 and this sort of sly racism should be behind us all.

^Without knowing more? How many more clues do you need to crack the case, detective? Maybe if he'd baked them in a hooded white robe while burning crosses and whistling 'Dixie'? Captain Planet... Is that you?


Seeing as how flagrantly biased against the baker this "news item" is yes I would like more information before I go ahead and form a considered opinion. I take it your exactly the kind of audience Fox relies on with its shoddy reporting.

At the moment, I stand by my original comment that this seems heavily blown out of proportion. Good day, sir

Of course he's not doing anything illegal. But it is absolutely immoral. And a very stupid thing for a business owner to do. He acts like he's retarded. If he had half a brain he would not put those out where the public could see them, just make them for other racist assholes that he knows. This could really hurt his business, and therefor hurt anybody he employs.

How anybody could defend his stupidity is beyond me.

ObsidianStormsays...

Freedom includes the freedom to be stupid. That said, I think the faces actually look kinda cool.

Ironically, if the "name" of the cookie wasn't mentioned (and the alleged Lincoln/Obama comment), I seriously doubt anyone would find this in any way offensive.

White, upper-class women will get offended by anything.

And maybe he meant that, like Lincoln, Obama will free the slaves...of capitalism. With socialism.

THAT ONE.

12511says...

Sticks and stones will break my bones, but words will...get you in trouble with all of the politically-correct whiners, thus forcing you to apologize publicly and beg for mercy.

You know what I would do if I walked into that bakery, and he told me they were drunken nigger faces? I'd laugh at him, say that he's stupid, and leave. End of story. I wouldn't alert my friend, who would then alert the media, who would then alert the whole white world, who would then get all butt-hurt and complain about yet another instance of some dumb fuck who doesn't deserve all of this free publicity.

Yea, tell that to the Irish. Moron.

Racism is rascism no matter which race is involved. Calling some-one a "cracker" or a "honky" is exactly the same.

Nope, because the whites aren't historically oppressed. There's a bit of a difference.

"Greedy Jewish head" cookies taste like money however they have a controversial ingredient: The tears of Palestinian children.

imstellar28says...

this man's opinion is by definition racism. failing to tolerate his opinion is by definition bigotry.

you don't make value judgments on someones favorite flavor of ice cream, do you?

nibiyabisays...

^We aren't saying he should be punished in any way; we're merely appalled at his blatant display of racism in the 21st century. I hope the local populace is inspired enough to stop frequenting his establishment and force him to close.

Really? You think the oppression of the Irish in the US is comparable to the oppression of the blacks? Really?

I think the two situations are a bit different. But then again, I'm a moron.

rgroom1says...

is this not tagged foxnews because it's an agreeable story? because i've noticed that credit is not given when it's due...
don't worry, i'll fix it all when i get my privileges...

Lolthiensays...

Man, the Sift is full of people defending racist assholes today.

Drunken "Negro" faces.. sure.

And besides, if this wasn't so bad all you defenders of white pride, why should any of you be upset about this story? He just got five minutes of prime time television air for free.. talk about great advertising!

And I'm just following your own logic, by the letter there's "nothing wrong" with his selling Drunken Negro Faces, similarly there is "nothing wrong" with giving him free advertising on the news for it.

You can't allow one to have their free speech, and not let the other.

So suck it up. The dude is a racist asshole who calls some ugly ass cookies Drunken Negro Faces. Or is that not racist?

More accurately, we're defending his freedom, not his beliefs.

The PC crowd is mayhap the one going out of their way to be offended here.

We just had two years of 95% of the mainstream media plus all of Hollywood shilling an around-the-clock Obama infomercial, trying to pass it of as real news while simultaneously pooping on McCain, and you're upset over THIS?

So suck it up. The dude is a racist asshole who calls some ugly ass cookies Drunken Negro Faces. Or is that not racist?

By today's standards it's racist. But trying to prove what's really in the baker's heart is impossible. That's why hate crime laws are not only unconstitutional but impossible to enforce.
