Again, I'm not trying to defend the guy. He sounds like a pretentious blowhard, but for the sake of playing the devil's advocate I have to say the n-word has been brought down a notch thanks to all the rappers and young people who go around using the word "Niggah" as a term of endearment.

How is Niggah passable, but Negro isn't? And I never realized Negro was as bad word of a word as great person. When I think of the n-bomb, great person is what comes to mind. Are Negro and great person interchangeable? I'm not trying to be covertly facetious, I really would like some opinions/answers.

Language is a pretty interesting invention. We have a collection of shapes which represent letters to make words which, ultimately, have no real meaning behind them except for what we've pre-assigned them to. Because of this, I can say any word and mean a slew of different things, and the only way you guys understand what I'm saying is through whatever representation you've assigned them based on previous experience. Language is a creation of context, thus it will always be extremely subjective no matter how concrete its representation is. It doesn't matter whether I call them negro cookies, or awesome dude cookies, or great person cookies, or n***** cookies, or African American cookies - in the end it will never mean the same thing to me as it does to you, or to anyone else in the world.

There is a also a HUGE personal divide between Italians and most Italian-Americans, but it would be just as stupid to consider THAT a suitable topic as well.

Here's the thing, this guy is a moron. He probably admits it. He works off the shock factor. Has he went too far this time? Probably, but I don't think you'll find him out of business for this.

Agreed on all points, including that this is more of "tempest in a teapot" thing and that it won't hurt his business long term, or probably even short term.

But, shouldn't a college graduate know it's "He has gone" not "He has went" ?

It does seem like in this point and time Obama is untouchable. I wonder if he said the cookies were Al Sharpton Blabbermouth Negro Nuggets if we would have heard anything about it.

Again, not even being able to achieve the actually grammatically correct but stupidly redundant and long abandoned phrase "point in time" is not worthy of a person born in America and claiming to have a grad degree.

Sorry, Mosh, but I simply expect better from you.

He should snag drunkennegrocookies.com

If he had an easy way to order online, he wouldn't be able to make the cookies fast enough :laugh:

No such thing as bad publicity..

It is a COOKIE. You think the guy is a douche bag? Don't buy one...

Tolerance of racism is also pretty boring.

Sorry, free speech means he gets to make the cookies but then we get to call him an idiot and choose not to shop there and tell people what he considers acceptable behavior. People don't have to remain silent when they see something that's not really straddling the fence on being offensive. And if YOU don't like it, you can just skip the thread. Ignoring racism doesn't make it go away.

As for trying that shit in NYC, guy proved he's a moron. Might have just joked his way out of business. Lots of out of work people might fill their day standing outside his shop with pics of the cookies he sells.

What a racist asshole! He even made the flavors Hawaiian Punch and Watermelon.

nicely done, hehe.

If my local deli started selling "mwilding is a douchebag" sandwiches, I wouldn't be wasting my time on a cold January morning walking back and forth with a picket sign...

Who cares? The dude can make whatever cookies, cakes, or tasty pastries that he feels like it. Last I checked we had freedom of speech and expression in this country. People get so worked up over anything that even hints at racism.

What if your wife were black and your local bakery started selling "Mwilding Miscegenation Mulatto Baby Balls" ?

this publicity is very likely to result in his bakery being burnt down and himself possibly injured or killed. And even though there are a lot of racist fucktards who will go out of their way now to go there because they find this guy so damn cool. All the people who won't go there any more will greatly outweigh the few noobs who want to go there now. He might keep a good portion of his customers, but he will lose many.

So lesse, he's going to lose customers, and might lose his business and could also end up DEAD. Yeah, I would say this is bad publicity

Yet you wailed and carried on for months like a 12 year old girl having her first period in public when I dissed ninjas to you.

The incessant nit picking about grammar and spelling and your obsession with me about it has grown old. I am not a Rhodes Scholar or a Mensa Member in good standing like you, but I'm far from stupid.

Please note, for future reference, that I am not handing in my Senior Thesis every time I post on ATOT either!@!

I was just looking for opinions on the matter at hand. So go pick on someone your own size.

Nah. apac is right. Plus, people are full of faux outrage but are pussies IRL. "DrunkenNegroCookies" is just not bad enough for people to remain outraged about.

If he makes good baked goods, most everyone will simply come back and buy them, plus a few from our resident upright MightyTightyWhitey brigade will buy extra.

At least on the up side it's given racists something to feel good about.....

I'm not sure why, she has consistently proved to be among the stupidest people on this forum. But I certainly enjoyed the delicious ironing of her calling someone else a moron in the same paragraph she fails to use simple English correctly.

As for the cookies, to be honest you Americans need to stop being such thin-skinned little pussies. Drunken great person cookies - so what?

I don't go into post offices that often.

Edit: Here's a helpful grammar tip, in case you're ever applying for a job or have to pass for educated: To determine whether a pronoun should be in subject or object form, eliminate the attendant nouns.

"You missed the pic of I?"

"Me did, thankfully, yes."

Sorry to hear you're a shut in. Meals on Wheels make their delivery today despite the weather? I hope so.

Never underestimate the anger of the black community in New York City.

Disjunctive reasoning, sweetie. Sorry to hear your basic logic skills are as poor as your grammar.

My grammar is quite wealthy, thanks.
I win, because I know that sentence will bug the shit out of you twice.

Yes. I have stopped providing my business to other companies for doing far less.

Keep telling yourself that, and meanwhile I'll send you a Special Olympics gold medal, maybe it will help.

Oh, and we all know that just about the sharpest tool in your box is trying to have the last word, no matter how lame, and that you WILL post again here, because it's all you've got.

Buh bye, now!

:laugh:

Anyone who percieves this as anything but racist is either a fool, naive, or an idiot. I hope this guy gets what's coming to him, aka, no customers.

It's his own fault if someone burns his shop down? What kind of a retard are you?
