Lafayette Bakery's "Drunken Negro Face" Cookies

Blatant racism notwithstanding, you’d think this inbred retard would figure out that this probably isn’t good for business. We’ll certainly be boycotting his Greenwich Village bakery. [hat tip Gothamist]

    So because he’s racist, he’s inbred? He conforms to the most egregious negative stereotype of Appalachian/southern/rural poor white people?
    You’re an idiot and a bigot, same as the baker.

  2. Outraged New Yorker says:

    I’m disgusted by this baker’s blatant ignorance and racism by calling his cookies “drunken negro face cookies.” It is disgusting. He may disagree with Barack Obama and his election, but this is beyond the pale.
    It shames me as a fellow Italian-American that this man would be so racist when our grandparents and great-grandparents came to this country and faced discrimination.
    He is in his legal right to do so, but with that said, we as a public our within our right TO BOYCOTT.
    THIS IS ONE NEW YORKER WHO’S NEVER STEPPING FOOT IN LAFAYETTE BAKERY EVER AGAIN AND I URGE YOU ALL TO DO THE SAME!

  3. Elizabeth says:

    this is SO wrong! wtf!

  4. LB203 says:

    I watched this guy on the news last night and was in shock at how stupid and ignorant this guy came across. What was he thinking. Racist idiot. I love when people show their true colors. What a freak show..

  5. thetriggereffect says:

    Who is to say it’s racism anyway? It’s called a publicity stunt. God, people are so stupid….

  6. JohnTBissell says:

    I’ll take a dozen.

  7. E. Louise says:

    What a coward! He was bold enough to make his views known through his baking efforts, but not man enough to admit the true reason: he’s a hopeless, ignorant bigot.

  8. dave says:

    LETS SHUT’EM DOWN!!!!
    WHEN IS THE BOYCOTT?
    PLEASE

  9. Auggie says:

    uh, when is the boycott? It starts now…

  10. DeLynn says:

    Whether you agree or not, this is America…if it were about gay rights or some other cause it would be called freedom of speech or freedom of expression covered under our 1st admendment rights. Why does everyone have to be so sensitive?

  11. Angelo says:

    (212) 242-7580 Give ‘em a call and excercise your free speech as well

  12. DickARodney says:

    This is beyond ignorant and stupid and shameful. Those who would defend this by likening it to the possibility of the same treatment of other similarly attacked groups are misguided. Those who may quote freedom of speech as a right when it comes to these types of things are technically correct but ethically and morally wrong to defend on this basis.
    Everyone is entitled to their opinion and mine is, this guy is a flipping idiot who does not know what it is like to covertly discriminated against or overtly discriminated against with violence included. Unfortunately some people never get it until they are treated the way they treat others.

  13. Matthew P says:

    Just look at those cookies! They look like they were hand-made by an idiot, rather than molded by a baker/chef (Really, a cracker. Pun intended). Obviously, much thought was put into the preparation of this poisonous pastry design. He is apparently dumb enough to think he was making a “happy face” type of design, that would appeal to his customer base. But it is the Village! Who is he kidding?

  14. Pat Smith says:

    This is racist at his finest. I hope that your shop closes for lack of business. This kind of tasteless things that are happening in our country. I think you should try living somewhere else more to your liking. We did something great a few months ago. I am sorry you cant see that…hate eats at one and you will be eaten up and spit out soon.

  15. Black Guy From PA says:

    There is nothing racist with drunken negro face cookies, if it was a white man, nothing would have ever been said about this! Most of us black people are just as racist and pig-headed as the next person. I say if most of them don’t like it, I’ll personally pay for their one way ticket back to Africa. People need to stop being so up-tight and retarded. Freedom of speech and freedom of expression. Also he did NOT make a direct threat towards Obama, he said following in Lincolns steps, taking the train to the inauguration and what not, there you have it. Just leave the guy alone and stop being so fucking retarded, people like this piss me off and make me hate to be black, just because of the singling out of people and throwing out the racist card.

  16. gdyan1 says:

    Pat Smith, if you are really black you are the dumbest black person I ever read on a thread. How can you not understand that under any race, calling someone “drunken” then using what was coined a slave term “negro” and putting unflattering faces on a product is not cool. This has nothing to do with sensitivity it has to do with respect for other people in this country. Sure we can say what we want, but once you reach adulthood, you start to realize that some things like respect, understanding, patience, love and integrity go a lot farther than tearing people down. When you put those things first, the need to act like a 3 year old falls by the waistside.

  17. gdylan1 says:

    My post was meant for Black Guy and not Pat Smith

  18. Caucasian Lady from Cali says:

    Black Guy from PA -
    I feel so sorry for you. It is obvious you struggle with being born African-American/Black. You must be in a lot of pain but not as much as Emmett Till was in at the end of his life. Too bad you can’t trade places with him.

  19. DAVE says:

    They look delicious.
    I think Ill take a dozen.

  20. DAVE says:

    By the way, negro is not a slur.
    For example, the United Negro College Fund. Are they perpetuating racism for still using that term?
    Now if it said Nigger….

  21. Mike says:

    I think i’ll stop in there tomorrow and buy a few dozen and give it to all my black friends, they never turn down free food

  22. Texican says:

    man them slave cookies look good…..

  23. Joe says:

    Well, at least the hair and nose are accurate

  24. Cool Face says:

    Don’t see what the big deal is, blacks look just like that when they drunk. Matter a fact fuck all black people. Stupid niggers taking away this delicous treat

  25. Doug Funny says:

    OM NOM NOM

  26. Rodent says:

    it would only be more accurate if it also had its hand out

  27. mike says:

    for reparations you get cookies… sounds like a win to me!

  28. Evgeni Crosby says:

    Fact…I will not eat/buy those things because they are of the dark nature, and I just can’t get down with things that are dark…

  29. Agent Zero says:

    He clearly got crunk on some Joose and Colt 45. Maybe a little Hennessy

  30. Renee says:

    My hopes are that you are not black. I find it very difficult to beleive that any human-being could be so ablivious to racist remarks and insinuations as the “Drunken Negro Cookie”. Even if an African American made this cookie I would have a problem with them. The problem is the “Cookie” and how offensive it is to our race. We are humans with feelings and more similarites than differences to other races. Look around! Stop making excuses for ignorance. It is time out for blatant disrespect.

  31. Mimi says:

    retard is an extremely offensive moniker.
    You’re in the same league as the baker.
    Apparently, there’s enough ignorance to go around.

  32. LiveFreeOrDie1776 says:

    The intimidating, fascistic & ochlocratic response to this foolish baker exercising his First Amendment right to free expression is MUCH MORE ODIUS than any “racist” threat the baker boob supposedly poses. What is a racist, sexist, homophobe? Anyone who dares to think outside the fascist democrat box.

  33. Page Turner says:

    Let me go out on a limb here. Anyone who does see this as a racist issue, is a non-minorty. Their race,gender or sexual orientation has not caused them one moment of pain at the hands of others. Huh…. Must be nice to have an ignorant sense of entitlement. Karma is a bitch!

  34. Page Turner says:

    SEE I CAN TYPE A MISTAKE AND ADMIT IT!!!! RETHINK YOUR “COOKIES”!
    Let me go out on a limb here. Anyone who DOESN’T see this as a racist issue, is a non-minorty. Their race,gender or sexual orientation has not caused them one moment of pain at the hands of others. Huh…. Must be nice to have an ignorant sense of entitlement. Karma is a bitch(proof yourself!)

  35. Bob says:

    Thanks for re-posting your typo Page Turner. I was kinda scared that there was one more ignorant supporter!

  36. Bren says:

    To the idiot that said put blacks on a boat and send them back to Africa. We all should be on a boat because none of us are true Americans. Everybody came to America on a boat, Asian, Black, White and Spanish that did not come from Mexico.Since America got a black President we have let the world no just how stupid we are, we go around trying to tell other people how to live but we dothe same things we boycott them for. People open your eyes life is to short for this kind of stupidity, the cookies were in very poor taste, I don’t see how anyone would want to eat something so ugly anyway.
