BAKER OF RACIST OBAMA COOKIES RECIEVES DEATH THREATS

but still no prejudice involved
“Kefalinos insists he can’t be racist because, for one thing, “my brother-in-law, he’s Cuban.”
Fox News’ Arnold Diaz’s reports about a pastry shop in Greenwich Village selling what the owner called “Drunken Negro Face“ cookies generated strong reactions. Hundreds of people commented on Arnold’s blog. Dozens more called the store owner to give death threats. There was even one threat to burn down the store.
By John Charles Reedburg
I guess — it’s hard for some folks to accept change.
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.
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.”
Later, her friend stopped by the bakery and said Kefalinos corrected her about the name of the cookies—they’re actually drunken “N-word” cookies. She says the backwards baker then repeated the dark suggestion that, like Lincoln, President Obama “will get what’s coming to him.” Go Secret Service, go!
And it gets worse when Fox’s Arnold Diaz goes into the store with a camera and microphone to confront Kefalinos, who suddenly makes Joe the Plumber look like a Rhodes scholar. “I called them Drunken Negro Heads. What’s the problem with that?” Kefalinos asks the newscaster with a smirk. “On Inauguration Day I thought it would be cool to change the name to Obama Heads. I just changed it for the day.” We suppose Burning Cross Bananas Foster was too complicated to mass-produce.
Kefalinos denies intimating that Obama would be assassinated, and insists that the cookie is “not unflattering. I think it’s a fun face… And anyone who says anything else should be ashamed of themselves.” Besides, nobody got upset about the “Dead Geese Bread” he sold after the recent Hudson River plane crash. (We’re NOT making that up.)
Also, Kefalinos insists he can’t be racist because, for one thing, “my brother-in-law, he’s Cuban.”
