NY Bakery and their "Drunken Negro Face Cookies" to honor Obama

WTF? Double, WTF?

Lafayette French 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.

Again, not racist? You expect people to really believe this? Unbelievable.

Although I don't live in New York, I think the surest way to get the baker's attention is to boycott his store. Racism is alive and well, but the market place still speaks. Boycotts were a prime tool of the civil rights movement for this reason.
I think the statement "Obama and said the new President will “get his” just like Abraham Lincoln who inspires him," ranks as a security threat. I hope you sent this to White House. We just had a whack job white guy go on a shooting spree until he could kill all non-whites and Jews. Boycott the store? Try questioning him - that is not freedom of speech.
