A LIST OF PEOPLE ALLOWED TO MAKE JOKES ABOUT COLORED PEOPLE TIME, EXPLAINED
While Clinton and her supporters try to "whitesplain" why the joke wasn't a big deal, it's a good idea to see what bloggers in the AA community think about it.

What is colored people time?
The best way to describe colored people time would be that I planned on publishing this piece at 3pm, but it didn’t actually publish until 6:34pm.
Why did it take you so long?
Because I’m a colored person. And despite carrying with me three separate devices that inform me of the time — a phone, a watch, and a laptop — when it comes to “when things I’m involved in are supposed to happen,” things just never seem to happen less than 17 minutes after they’re supposed to happen. I don’t know why this happens. I actually think us being allowed to be late to everything should be a surcharge America pays us for that slavery thing — stopwatch reparations, if you will — but that’s just me.
The cruelest cinematic example of the danger of colored people time occurs in Goodfellas, as Tommy DeVito (Joe Pesci) actually kills Stacks (Samuel L. Jackson) for shit related to his chronic lateness…and then comments about him being late to his own funeral while killing him!
Wow, that was cold. Well, did the joke work when Clinton and de Blasio tried it?
Of course not. One because Hillary Clinton seems to have the comedic chops of a Brookstone meat thermometer. But mainly because neither Clinton nor de Blasio possess the requirements necessary to tell a joke about colored people time in front of a bunch of White people.
Such as?
Be a colored person.
