I heard about this while listening to the Schnitt Show yesterday. I actually couldn’t believe what I was hearing. Ted Kefalinos, the proprietor of the Lafayette French Pastry actually created the “Drunken Negro Face” cookie in “honor” of President Obama, and then tried to sell it to people thinking that no one would get upset. Now, I’m not an Obama fan myself, but calling it “Drunken Negro Face” doesn’t really rhyme with “President Obama.”
Oh and it gets better. Fox News reporter Arnold Diaz went to the store with a camera and microphone and asked Kefalinos about the cookie and Kefalinos’s response was, “I called them Drunken Negro Heads. What’s the problem with that?” Kefalinos goes on to say that, the cookie is “not unflattering. I think it’s a fun face…” He also states that he is not racist because his “brother-in-law is Cuban.” Behold the racial ignorance in the video below.
However, by the time I was finished listening to this moron speak on the Schnitt Show he did apologize and say it was a big misunderstanding. I personally believe he knew what he was doing, but hey I can’t tell you what to think.
