A 'Drunken Negro Head' Cookie

Post Racial Blog: It's interesting how the folks at Wonkette find this NYC Bakers bigotry and color arousal "Hilarious." I guess with Wonkette and this NYC Bakers help we will never be Post-Racial. More HERE. More news from the "Post-Racial" blog and the consumerist website about the NYC Baker who is selling 'Drunken Negro Head' Cookies.

Ted Kefalinos, the proprietor of a bakery in Greenwich Village (a neighborhood in New York City), can't understand why the media is having such a field day over his Drunken Negro Head cookies. They're fun! Nobody complained about his dead geese cookies last week! He's got a Cuban brother-in-law! We'd be more willing to believe it was just a bad marketing decision if it weren't for the follow-up comments a customer alleged he made.

A shocked customer tells My Fox NY that Ted Kefalinos, proprietor of Lafayette French Pastry, asked 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."

Killing 'nonwhite people' was motive in Brockton shooting spree...

(AP Photo/The Enterprise, Tim Correira) Brockton, Massachusetts -- The Boston Globe reports: 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. More HERE

Post-Racial America?

The Rockfeller Republican

It has been two months since the United States, in self-declared historic fashion, elected its first Black President. President-Elect Obama was said to usher in a new post-racial era and everyone from Jesse Jackson to MSNBC heralded its arrival. Just this weekend on NBC's Meet the Press

The story that has captured the headlines as of late is of course the selection of Roland Burris as the junior senator from Illinois by Rod Blagojovich. Yet no sooner had Burris taken the stage during the announcement than the former Black Panther Bobby Rush stole the spotlight.

"My prayers have been answered. I prayed fervently that the governor would continue the legacy established by President-elect Obama and that the governor would appoint an African American to complete the term of President Obama. Let me just remind you, that there presently is no African American in the U.S. Senate. Let me remind you that the state of Illinois and the people in the state of Illinois in their collective wisdom have sent two African Americans to the U.S. Senate. That makes a difference."

Does anyone think Mr. Rush's star turn was a spontaneous outpouring of support? Or is it much more likely that Blago, knowing full-well the racial implications of nominating Burris, decided to punctuate his dare to Harry Ried and the Democratic caucus by having Rush blatantly state that the senate needs a black member. What happened to our newly enabled post-racial sensibilities? Apparently they were as ephemeral as an Obama speech. A good talking point, but not a fundamental change in reality. In fact the Burris debacle is not the only racially toned story to break in the past week. they had a show dedicated to what Obama's presidency will mean to black America. Unfortunately, we are already sliding right back into the era of victimhood just as dramatically. More HERE
