PLEASE tell me this is a joke:

Threatened little man just has to try to spoil the good feeling from last week.

Paula, do not read, your head will explode.

Some diligent soul in the comments section dug up an address: Lafayette French Pastry
Manhattan, 26 Greenwich Ave, New York, NY 10011, USA (Greenwich Village). Now I know where NOT to go.

This has been on 1010Wins for a while. Apparently his neighbor store owner is a true African-American, they've been friends for real, and the neighbor vouches for the baker NOT being a racist. The way the news bit was edited, though, I got the feeling his neighbor also vouches for the baker as being a dumbass, but apparently they're still friends, so...

Come on. (Not you, the apparently Pollyanna-ish neighbor.) I find it impossible to believe he does not know exactly what he's saying when he says "Like Lincoln, he will get what's coming to him." Besides, if you watch the video, he calls them "[N-word] cookies" to one customer. There's also a testimonial from another customer that the baker has indeed expressed racist views.

Whether or not he originally meant them in a racist way, when everyone's telling him "Dude, this isn't cool," his stolid, bland denials are infuriating.

Ok, see, not admitting he made a bad call is infuriating. When a bunch of people tell you "you did wrong!" you own up and apologize for it, not stick to your guns.
