A French bakery has been banned from selling a variety of cupcake because they’re ‘racist’ and produced ‘obscene’ goods that depict black men and women with large private parts.
A court in the French Riviera on Thursday, March 26, 2015 heard how the cakes were an ‘attack on human dignity’.
A spokesperson of France’s Representative Council of Black Associations (CRAN), Louis-George Tin, said, “It’s pure and simple racism.
“We are in a country where the word equality is part of the constitution, which means it doesn’t allow for racism. Does he think these treats adhere to the values of the French Republic?
“We must fight this kind of racism. I cannot imagine what would be said if an African baker decided to represent Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary in a similar way.”
But baker Tannick Tavolaro has stressed he is not racist and did not intend to cause any upset with his goods, according to reports.
He maintained that he would continue to make his controversial cakes despite the threats.
He said, “At first I thought it was a joke then I read the news. It’s absurd and hurtful. These pastries have absolutely no racial connotation at all.
“It’s made of chocolate mousse, which is why it’s black. The characters are little human beings, a man and woman but not a black man and a woman.
“These people who attack me don’t know my story or my career or who I am. It’s just intellectual terrorism and I won’t yield to that kind of terrorism
“I am not racist. I do not belong to any political party. I just argue for freedom of speech.
