We don’t mean to get y’all going on Sunday, but we had to share this ‘ish with you.  It’s real out in NY:

A Greenwich Village bakery owner has sparked outrage for selling “Drunken Negro Face” cookies in honor of President Obama.

Ted Kefalinos, who runs Lafayette French Pastry on Greenwich Avenue, made a batch of the chocolate treats on Martin Luther King day, hoping to make his customers smile.

Instead, he received complaints and crank calls.

Neighboring store owners say he should have known better.

“It’s not the 1920s or 1930s, we have to get a little bit civilized,” said Nandini Shelly, who owns a tobacco store down the block.

“It’s not OK, and he’s supposed to think a little bit before he says something.”

Kefalinos, who admits he is not a fan of the new president’s policies, made about two dozen of the cookies on Monday and sold them all.

He has made other topical treats over the years, including “Dead Geese Bread” after the recent U.S. Airways crash in the Hudson River.

“I’m sorry that people were offended by the cookie,” Kefalinos told the News Friday.

“We were just trying to make a large number of people happy, and instead we made a large number of people confused and angry.”

The store received several prank calls, including from one person who told him to board up his windows this weekend.

Kefalinos was also informed that some parents who pick their children up from a nearby school, and often stop by to pick up cookies or coffee, plan a boycott.

“You should choose better words because you upset a lot of people,” said Bangally Jagana, who owns an African store next door to the bakery.

“This time I think he pushed the button too much, but I will still spend money there because we’re neighbors.”

SMH @ that artwork.  A drunken negro with red eyes like the devil, though??  Has this jackass ever seen a white person drunk before?

Bossip folk, this may be kind of rhetorical, but has this guy gone too far with the Drunken Negro Face cookies?

    The ignorance is about to come out of the woodwork. Just brace yourself and shake the haters off. Let them keep on making an ass of themselves and dig their own graves.

  • Sydney

    I care less about these random acts of idiocy and more about the actual threats to the safety of the president, which are reportedly high.

  • blackpride09

    The threats are always high for a president of any country. Not only for Mr. President elect Barack Obama.

  • Green Grass

    I really dont even think this story needs an audience.

  • Sydney

    @blackpride09

    There have been news reports of a higher than usual number of threats since Election Day. Thee increased traffic on hate sites is also being monitored. From msbnc.com:

    There have been “hundreds” of incidents since the election, many more than usual, said Mark Potok, director of the Intelligence Project at the Southern Poverty Law Center, which monitors hate crimes.

    One was in Snellville, Ga., where Denene Millner said a boy on the school bus told her 9-year-old daughter the day after the election: “I hope Obama gets assassinated.” That night, someone trashed her sister-in-law’s front lawn, mangled the Obama lawn signs and left two pizza boxes filled with human feces outside the front door, Millner said.

  • sashaKayente

    I saw this on the news. It was white folks who brought this to the attention to the media because they were appalled. The news interview showed three different people who said they were offended. Then a news reported talked to the bakery owner who tried to downplay what he was doing. However, one of the people interviewed said that it’s not the first time she’s heard him making inappropriate comments.

    Pass the word to Boycott!! Hitting this fool in the pocket is the only way he will understand!!

    That’s all C.I.A and other media stuff to sell news papers and stuff. Its January 09 and he is the President now and you bringing up news from Nov.

    @ Sydney

  • K-mia

    How could he think this would honor Obama or anybody? What does the drunken part have to do with anything? I really hope they tasted good, because the idea was random and horrible.

  • Sydney

    @blackpride09

    I guess the segment on threats I watched this week on CNN was part of a government conspiracy. Thanks for clearing that up. :)

    @ Sydney

    It sells, it gets you to watch their news. You just said it. Its all hype. Every country leader recieves threats and are viewed negatively by a select few. Tony Blair, George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush (Sadaam tried to get him), North Korean leader that wears make up, etc

  • Sydney

    @blackpride09

    I get you — The quotes I’ve seen from the Secret Service were all made up as well. It’s all a farce. This election was no different from any other.

  • Dmarie

    Don’t call the number cuz I heard the police is recording all calls and will interogate any one quick fast and in a hurry.

  • blackpride09

    @ Sydney

    The greatest danger to European Americans has not been the election of Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States. A far greater catastrophe would be his assassination.

    As White activists have pointed out, the election of Obama along with the rapidly changing demographics of America is a powerful wakeup call to European Americans. His election makes clear that we are losing the nation and principles of our forefathers. It has already led to a dramatic increase in our ranks.

    We must also be aware that Obama is not the cause of our losing the America of our forefathers. He is the effect not the cause.

    Although Obama supports it, he did not create the situation where millions of White Americans face the massive racial discrimination of so-called affirmative action.

  • blackpride09

    @ Sydney

    This is the KKK David Duke stating that it would be foolish to touch Obama. He wrote a long article on his website.

    Will you two stop bickering! There’s more important issues to occupy your time with – Like the recent closing of all those convenient Book Depository buildings. They had such great views…Especially of all the Grassy Knolls. Oh well, i’m off to target practice.

  • Sydney

    @blackpride09

    “The greatest danger to European Americans has not been the election of Barack Hussein Obama as President of the United States. A far greater catastrophe would be his assassination.”

    There are people out there who would disagree with you — They feel this new presidency is a sign of their loss of power and they’re not happy. At all.

    “His election makes clear that we are losing the nation and principles of our forefathers. It has already led to a dramatic increase in our ranks.”

    Please clarify. Do you mean to say that “they” are losing the nation? Are you referring to the growing diversity of the U.S.?

    “Although Obama supports it, he did not create the situation where millions of White Americans face the massive racial discrimination of so-called affirmative action.”

    So you’re anti-affirmative action?

  • blackpride09

    @ Sydney

    No, not at all. But I came across this and I was shocked to see David Duke of all people telling them to let President Obama do his job.

  • Sydney

    @blackpride

    Well, that is quite a turnaround for David Duke.

    Now if we can only get Rush Limbaugh on board. . .Well, we can’t get wish for miracles. :)

  • blackpride09

    @ Sydney

    Rush is a douche bag pill popping idiot.

SHM

  • blackpride09

    @ Susan

    I think the baker forget to take his meds and did this stupid stuff. Like George Bush broke out in tears at that award ceremony for Jeb. Jeb ran and got him off the mic and was like “Did you take your Alzheimer medication dad?”

  • amelia

    who says not?
    then guess you better see what hot and sincere cougars on ” ___Ageless mate .c om___ ” are saying about her!! BTW, it’s the place where Ageless people meet and mingle! Nothing but love rules there!!

  • always knew

    Everybody says racism is dead. Sir and Madames, you are a liar! Every chance they get,it’s this bs. During the democratic run, it was Obama waffles, then Obama the magic negro, then his birth certificate wasn’t real….Yeah, racism is nowhere near dead…Sorry! Who cares what the Game says…And in that same ignorant song, he talks about Don Imus. You can’t have one without the other….

    “You should choose better words because you upset a lot of people,” said Bangally Jagana, who owns an African store next door to the bakery.

    “This time I think he pushed the button too much, but I will still spend money there because we’re neighbors.”

    Not to generalize but I really have a hard time getting any kind of feeling of solidarity from Africans in the US. That’s two stores I won’t ever be spending money in.

    Oh hell no. The owner better lock her doors and secure her windows if the owner wants to make such a racist statement.

  • adiamondcenter

    so expected from white america and their followers…..

  • Rozza♥ – My Dog’s Name Ain’t Baby, It’s Hannibal (Mr. Nibbles If You’re Nasty!)

    The owner is some guy who really doesn’t care who he is insulting. He made some bread that looked like the dead geeese from that plane accident, and just like the cookies, looks like a pile of poop. Nothing delicious or funny here…

    WHAT DAY IS THE BOYCOTT????
    PLEASE!!!!!!!!

  • OhLaLa

    From what I gathered looking at the news story. The cookies really represents death and not drunk. He changed the name of the cookies.

  • nana

    The owner is Greek not French…
    Merci!!!

    Really….this makes no DAMN sense. Stay classy African Americans, people are waiting for some kind of up roar, lets not give them what they want (“they” could be African Americans as well).

  • Shay

    The biggest offence is his lack of creativity. A big part of a persons attraction to food is the appearance. Those cookies look nasty and I figure anyone who makes “Dead Geese Bread” probably makes nasty tasting crap also.

    I bet those cookies tast good though…what a waste of chocolate!

    We used to go to this place as students at NYU about 14 years ago. We stopped by again recently and were really sorry that we did.

    We purchased about $14 worth of our old faves, Charlotte Russe and cream horns, only to find that the cream inside tasted and smelled rotten.

    When we informed the guy behind the counter, he told us it might have been vanilla or that the pastries might have been in the sun to long (even though we purchased them at night and took them home in a cardboard box). He refused to take any responsibility for the spoiled cakes and we lost $14 on this trip down memory lane.

  • bay girl

    I’v seen some of hannibals pictures b4 and he looks like a refugee who boated his way from war torn somali land.

  • Mrs.Stuttgart

    I assume that this “hannibal” person or thing is simply here to get comments. There are websites that people to go onto threads and say whatever to get comments; therefore, this idiot gets rewarded for his idiocy, so ignore him and he (or it)will eventually go away.
