It's been over a month since Greenwich Village baker Ted Kefalinos sparked outrage over his so-called "Drunken Negro Face" cookies, and the controversy will still not go away, despite his fumbling attempts to apologize. The New Black Panthers have been protesting on Saturdays outside his bakery, and the Secret Service paid him a visit because of his alleged remarks that "Obama will get he deserves, just like Lincoln." In a Villager article that can only be described as pure gold, Kefalinos says, "I get both sides. I get people who praise me and call me genius. I even got one guy who wanted to send 100 drunk Negroes to beat me into submission and he was going to video it...Theres one guy who calls himself Denzel Washington. He wanted me to personally apologize for the cookie. I hung up on him. "

posted a long apology on the bakery window, which reads, in part, "To the people who perceived our product was offensive... I apologize for the error in judgment... What I saw as a flower, you saw as a thorn, based on cross cultural differences."
That's not going to cut it with New Black Panther leader Shaka Shakur, who tells the Villager, "We want to get this pushed all the way to being a hate crime." During a recent protest, Shakur noticed an Asian sushi chef outside Funayama restaurant next door, and warned, "He made a cookie about me hell make one about you."

Oh, noes!!!!
LOLOL!
and well it should. Not very appetizing. Looks like a food crime to me.
If they made a cookie of Hardastarboard, it would be a half-cookie - the right half only.
Didn’t Fred Sanford make “Gorilla Cookies” all the time?
I havent heard much about this but certainly it must be a cookie in the likeness of Barrack Obama Sr. in which case the cookie is well named he was a Drunken Negro.
really? I think it looks totally tasty! I just want a big bite of one right now!
Pretty stupid thing for the baker to do, Hell, I hate the way race pimps act — but I’d probably boycott the shop, too.
Can we purchase some via mail order?
The Asian sushi chef was probably outside honing his knives just in case there was a characteristic attack/robbery upon his business, as that tends to happens when Afr/Ams get pissed off about anything.
Of course a well received shake down will fix everything. Why should Jesse make all the extortion bread?
I'm tired of being a "cracker"!!
Food crime, the next legal frontier.
Thanks for helping restore my faith in humanity.
The Feds should go after these Black Panther thugs using RICO.
Don't hold your breath though... that would be so un-politically correct.
