Hillary Clinton and New York Mayor Bill de Blasio sparked controversy at an event on Saturday with a racially charged joke.
Clinton and de Blasio were joined onstage by Leslie Odom Jr. in costume as Aaron Burr, whom he plays in the hit Broadway musical Hamilton. Clinton thanked de Blasio for his endorsementwhich many pointed out came rather late in the gameand ribbed him, Took you long enough.
The mayor replied, Sorry, Hillary, I was running on C.P. time.
The abbreviation refers to the stereotype of Colored People time, and several people in the audience could be heard gasping or groaning. Odom, who is black and whom the New York Times suggests was in on the joke, rebuked him, saying, I dont like jokes like that, Bill.
Clinton dryly replied, Cautious politician time. Ive been there.
The exchange prompted pushback online, both from bloggers and social media users.

Play: "Just do me a favor. Don't pick up the soap."
Kid: "Like I need you to tell me that. That's why you can't be on C.P.T., I need you on Japanese people time."

“Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn’t we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? ‘Cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we’d all be put out in K.P.”
Blasio is married to a black lady so he is entitled to make a Black Joke.
Sarah Palin is married to a part Eskimo so she can make an Eskimo joke. (e.g. Eskimo time).
I am married to a Filipino, so we call it “Filipino time”.
