Cookie controversy

Submitted by Kiki on January 28, 2009 – 11:50 am8 Comments

The NYC Lafayette French Pastry Bakery has enraged the community with their “Drunken Negro Face” cookies.

In an attempt to capitalize on President Barack Obama’s inauguration, the bakery created these chocoate cookies with large noses, lips and red eyes.

Watch this video where the bakery’s owner, Ted Kefalinos, defends himself and apologizes for upsetting the community.

He was reportedly overheard saying “They’re in honor of our new president. He’s following in the same path of Abraham Lincoln. He will get what’s coming to him.”

Your thoughts?

  • You know if we just knocked them the f out then people would stop pullying ish like this. He wants attention, so his cookies could sell. He probably got mad at something or wanted to make money then decided to do this and then came up with the excuses when it got this bad. I’m sure he wouldn’t say the name of the cookie if a brotha asked.
