I don't give a single damn about "CP" gate [View all]

So now in a latest attempt to try and undermine Black support of Hillary voters we have "CP" gate. Really? Now if others were offended by it, thats certainly your choice. I know most of the other Black folks I talk to think it was a non issue. I make fun of myself having CP time. I have heard non-Black people use the term. I've said it to my white friends who were late coming in that they were on CP time, or Rican time since I'm half Puerto Rican and lord knows my fellow Boricuas tend to have that same sense of time. Is it a stereotype? Sure, we can debate that. I've always said that a stereotype has a hint of truth to it. In the grand scheme of what is offensive to me, "CP" time ain't on that damn list.

But here's what does piss me off? Trying to use it as a way to undermine Black support of the Clintons. Do you really give a damn that it was offensive to Black people or are you just hoping this will shift Black voters to Bernie. I say the latter and that pisses me off way more than a white man saying "CP" time.

I'm so over this election and the tomfoolery associated with it. Please let November just get here soon.
