Attention New Yorkers: Never patronize Lafayette French Bakery
Unless your a neo-nazi, please boycott this store.
Neighborhood: Manhattan/West Village
26 Greenwich Ave Frnt
New York, NY 10011
(212) 242-7580
Lafayette French Bakery, a pastry shop in New York’s Greenwich Village, started selling “Drunken Negro Face” cookies on Martin Luther King Day in ‘honor’ of President Obama.
One customer told My Fox NY that store owner Ted Kefalinos said to her, “Would you like some drunken negro heads to go with your coffee? They’re in honor of our new president. He’s following in the same path of Abraham Lincoln; he will get his.”
Kefalinos spoke with Gothamist, and denied suggesting that Obama would be assassinated. However, he saw nothing wrong with the cookies themselves.
Later, he apologized to the New York Daily News.
“I’m sorry that people were offended by the cookie. We were just trying to make a large number of people happy, and instead we made a large number of people confused and angry.”
In a followup interview with My Fox NY, Kefalinos said he had been getting death threats over the cookies. Watch:
***UPDATE***
It appears that this racist pig has had so many threats from people that his phone is ringing off the hook. Instead of that arogant smirk he had in the previous clip, he now has a look of fear on his face because he knows his much beloved bakery will be out of buisness within in month. See this is why I love New Yorkers. They do not fu*k around. I love being liberal, I love NYC, and I love my white brothers and sisters who live there who always keeps it real!
Watch this sorry sack of dough attempt a real apology this time.
‘Fighting extinction’: Boston-area shooter, rapist targeted non-whites
Looks like some whites are already starting to have some meltdowns over having a black president. How sad..here is the story…
Breaking news out of Boston:
A man accused of a horrific rape and killing spree told investigators that he was “fighting extinction” of the white race and had stockpiled 200 rounds of ammunition to “kill ‘nonwhite people’ such as African Americans, Hispanics and Jewish people,” according to a police report filed today in court.
After forcing his way into a home and raping a 22-year-old woman, the alleged assailant, Keith Luke, shot and killed the woman’s younger sister, who tried to help her. Luke, 22, then allegedly turned his fury back on the rape victim, firing his gun through a white teddy bear that she clutched in terror, police said.
Down the street, Luke allegedly opened fire and killed a homeless man who happened by pushing a shopping cart. He told police after his arrest that he had planned to go to a synagogue near his home and, “kill as many Jews as possible during bingo night,” according to the report. “Luke told us that he intended to shoot himself in the head when he was through.”
Rabbi Joshua Cohen of Temple Beth Emunah, a Conservative synagogue in the neighborhood where Luke lives, said a Massachusetts state trooper and Brockton police officer told him this morning that Luke evidently had planned to continue his rampage at the temple. The synagogue has a bingo night Wednesday starting at 6:30 p.m.
Cohen said he has never heard of Luke and believes the man had randomly decided to target the synagogue. Investigators told Cohen that Luke was acting alone.
“Through hard work and a lot of luck, the police were able to apprehend him before he was able to inflict more damage and more death and destruction,” Cohen said. “As much as we like to think we’ve moved forward in our society and culture, hate and racism still exist, and it’s really unfortunate.”
On Wednesday, Luke allegedly fired at police as he was pursued in his van across Brockton, a chase that ended in a crash at East Ashland and North Quincy streets. Sitting in the back of the squad car, he muttered unintelligibly, according to the report, about “the Zionist occupation” and about how, “I was supposed to be executed today.”
Following last summer’s church shootings in Knoxville, as well as the various acts of violence and threats following Barack Obama’s election, we may be seeing the beginnings of a dangerous trend here.
I have a book coming out in May titled The Eliminationists: How Hate Talk Radicalized the American Right which is aimed at exploring the roots of these actions. It’s looking like it will be timely indeed.
Obama’s Speaking Indonesian Dazzles at State Dept.
ABC News’ Kirit Radia Reports: As President Obama worked the rope-line at the State Department Thursday, a State Department staffer named Charles Silver, knowing the President once lived in Indonesia, shouted out, “good afternoon” in the local language.
Obama responded back in what Silver later told ABC News was “very good” Bahasa Indonesian. The two then chatted briefly about the neighborhood Obama once lived in.
When the staffer asked if Obama had lived in the Jakarta neighborhood where embassy staffers live, Obama replied that was for rich people, and he lived in another neighborhood with a similar name, one that Silver said is where the “real people” live.
Silver told ABC News that he has been stationed in Indonesia off and on since 1969. He’s currently working in the State Department’s Office of Inspector General.
As far back as March 2007, Obama pointed to his years in Indonesia as helping to prepare him for the presidency.
“If I go to Jakarta and address the largest Muslim country on earth, I can say, ‘Apa kabar,’ — you know, ‘How are you doing?’ — and they can recognize that I understand their common humanity,” Obama told the National Jewish Democratic Council during a Washington, D.C. forum.
“That is a strength,” he continued, “and it allows me to say things to them that other presidents might not be able to say. And that’s part of what’s promising, I think, about this presidency.”
Africa loves Bush, sad to see him go
It’s hard to find any good deeds anyone can point out that President Bush has done throughout his presidency, but one that many seem to overlook is how much Bush has helped save millions of lives in Africa by funding some controversial, but effective medical aid for those with H.I.V. and AIDS. This has always been something I had to tell people about beause in most cases they were not aware. I never liked Bush as a president, and I never voted for him or any Republican in my life, but I do believe it’s important to show that as a President he was not a total failure. President Bush has done more for HIV and AIDS in Africa than any other US President, and that is a fact. Show respect. After watching the video read this story from earlier last year about the Bush’s legacy in Africa. It’s really going to surprise you.
Bush AIDS Fund Credited With Saving Lives
$15 Billion Fund Made U.S. President Popular Across Africa
By JOHN HENDREN
DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania, Feb. 17, 2008President Bush may be struggling at home, but he remains surprisingly popular here in Africa, where his face adorns everything from billboards of thanks, to women’s dresses.
U.S. President George W. Bush hands a mosquito net as part of efforts to combat malaria during a tour of Meru District Hospital in Arusha, Tanzania, Monday, Feb. 18, 2008.
(AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)The main reason for his popularity is that the fund to combat AIDS, which he created in 2003, has spent more than $15 billion on the continent over the past five years.“It was incumbent upon us to help deal with this pandemic that … could have literally wiped out an entire generation of Africans,” Bush told reporters in the Tanzanian capital today.
The fund is the largest international health initiative ever to fight a single disease, and Bush wants to double that amount to $30 billion over the next five years.
“Different people may have different views about you and your administration and your legacy,” Tanzanian President Jikaya Kikwete said. “But we, in Tanzania, if we are to speak for ourselves, and for Africa, we know for sure that you, Mr. President, and your administration, have been good friends of our country, and have been good friends of Africa.”
Critics want even more funding and fewer strings, like the requirement that some money go to abstinence programs. But even critics concede what is obvious to thousands of HIV-positive patients, like James Kan, a patient at a clinic in the capital — the program has saved lives.
“I would have died,” Kan said. “Yeah, that is exactly what could have happened.”

Tamron Hall nipples show through sheer dress on live broadcast
I almost fell out of my chair while watching the wrap up of the Inauguration celebrations on David Shuster’s show on MSNBC. David was apparently shell shocked while Tamron flashed on the screen and began rambling on and on as if she may have had 1 too many Long Island Ice-Teas. I first noticed how stunningly beautiful this woman was, and how great she rocks that short hair cut of hers..then I noticed something that at first I think is a shadow or something harmless on her dress, and I realized it was her NIPPLES. Yes, from almost every angle you can see her nipples right through the brown sheer gown she was wearing. This is a common mistake that women make when wearing something that is semi-sheer. They forget that under certain bright lights you can see EVERYTHING! David Shuster and his two guest, one who was a reverend seem stunned at first, then chuckled throughout the entire LIVE segment unbeknown to poor Tamron, who seemed happy, talkative and full of energy and didn’t realize that the guys where not laughing with her but at her, while also getting some cheap sexiest thrills at Tamron’s expense.

Mississippi Paper Offers Apology for Its ‘Gross Neglect’ During Civil Rights Struggle
NEW YORK In a remarkable statement on day before the birthday holiday for Martin Luther King Jr. — and two days before the inauguration of Barack Obama — the Meridian (Miss.) Star has, in an editorial, offered an apology for its past coverage of civil rights issues.
It closed: “There was a time when this newspaper – and many others across the south — acted with gross neglect by largely ignoring the unfairness of segregated schools, buses, restaurants, washrooms, theaters and other public places.
“We did it through omission, by not recording for our readers many of the most important civil rights activities that happened in our midst, including protests and sit-ins. That was wrong. We should have loudly protested segregation and the efforts to block voter registration of black East Mississippians.
“Current management understands while we can’t go back and undo some past wrongs, we can offer our sincere apology — and promise never again to neglect our responsibility to inform you, our readers, about the human rights and dignity every individual is entitled to in America — no matter their religion, their ethnic background or the color of their skin.”
In a front page story, editor Fredie Carmichael recalled, in a moving essay, that one of the three slain civil rights workers in 1964, James Chaney, hailed from Meridian. His lengthy piece recounted the episode — and its meaning today.
The full editorial follows. It is all at:

Tomorrow, as the nation celebrates the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we also pause to remember those in East Mississippi who were integral in the American civil rights movement.

A White Woman Explains Why She Prefers Black Men
Black skin is thick and lush, sensuous to the touch, like satin and velvet made flesh. There’s only one patch of skin on a white man’s body that remotely compares to nearly every inch of a black man’s skin. The first time I caressed black skin, it felt like a luxury I shouldn’t be able to afford. I craved it more strongly than Carrie Bradshaw craved Manolo Blahnik shoes. That phrase, “Once you go black, you never go back” is all about the feeling of the skin. And I had the socially acceptable explanation for my craving. I used that paucity-of-available-white-partners rationale to explain my relationships with black men for several years. A white woman past forty is often passed over by her white-male contemporaries. She goes younger or ethnic or foreign-born or down the socioeconomic scale or darker or she spends lonely nights at home with her cats. Black men are happy to get the babe they couldn’t have when she was twentysomething and fertile. The laws of the marketplace do prevail. It’s not me, it’s themthem being the white guys who weren’t after me anymore, or so I claimed. Read the rest of this entry »
