It’s OK when liberals do this, because they are so generous with other people’s tax money.

It’s okay for them since they’re on the side of the black folks. Right?

Ah yes, "CPT". I didn't even know this was a thing until my wife heard it from a black coworker, and then the more I started digging, the more I found that it really was a "thing".

I used to use it in some race discrimination cases where job performance was an issue by asking in depositions if the plaintiff had ever heard of "CPT". If they said yes, then I'd ask them to define it, get their thoughts, etc.. Always kind of fun because defense counsel would be looking on in horror....

"CPT" means "Colored People Time". It is apparently a phrase that arose from within the black community itself as a way of joking about how black people tend to be late to so many things.

I kind of hate to perpetuate stereotypes, but I was really struck about how this concept wasn't widely known except by blacks. Maybe it is a regional thing, I don't know. Maybe you can google it.

So I have to accept being called racist and privileged White, while this marxist rakes in millions and gets worshipped by the left for taking money from those who earn it and giving it to those who don’t.

He meant it that way. Do a google search: “on CP time”
you’ll see that it doesn’t mean “cautious politician time.”

No surprise. Demorata are racist. And black Demorats are the most racist.

#9 ~ “CPT” means “Colored People Time”. It is apparently a phrase that arose from within the black community itself as a way of joking about how black people tend to be late to so many things. ~

So white people are racist for using a black term even if it is not offensive to blacks?

I’m Irish, - anytime you go to Ireland, don’t expect to be ‘on time’ - don’t be foolish enough to even have a schedule in mind. I’m not offended by this and would not be offended if anyone ever spoke of it... Weird.

J. Frank Dobie (1888-1964)was the folklorist from Texas for many years. In one of his many books he uses words that were accepted many years ago to describe this. I’m sure you can figure out the words. It isn’t about being late to an event. It is about slaves being given a task and making a minimal effort to accomplish the task in their own sweet time. They would work on it but would take much longer to accomplish than reasonably expected.

Oh yes, this does not surprise me. Democrats could go to minstrel shows these days or boast about their Al Jolson record collection and not a peep would be raised.

No, only if they're white and non-Democrats.

Well to be honest, I’m all in favor of slaves slaking off as much as they could possibly get away with — they certainly had ever moral right to do so.

I worked for attorneys and used “attorney time” because so many of them were always late. Never heard of CPT, though.
