"Drunken N face" cookies at a NYC bakery

So this week has arguably seen one of biggest political milestones in American history. What better way to celebrate it I hear you ask?

Of course, how else? Bake a terribly racist cake and sell it to customers with the catchy sales pitch "Would you like a Drunken Negro face cookie with your coffee?"

What is the world coming to? When this idiotic loathsome act is deemed acceptable, in a bakery of all places.

Since talking to a Fox News reporter the, Greenwich Village baker, has apologised and asked for forgiveness in the "spirit of Martin Luther King".

The apology only came after he was inundated with hate phone calls and customer condemnation. I'd like to know what he expected?

Did he think, in Greenwich Village of all places, that people would embrace this type of openly racist hatred and not blink an eye. What an idiot? Personally I don't have much sympathy for someone who is that socially inept. If it is even ineptness? When interviewed the first time, he was unbashful and went so far as to defend his baking in the name of 'freedom of speech'.

Sadly this form of pure hatred will always be around. It was heartening though, to see his local community, who had once embraced him, shun him. A good example of how 'social shaming' is effective. What a lesson he may learn if he ends up having to shut.
