What the hell? Rip, are you really parroting EKP "satire?". Assuming ignorance would be the generous interpretation.

That's a term I've never heard before. Have heard it applied to countless other groups though. Mostly European.
Seems like a really strained joke. Terrible writing.

I had no idea what cp time was, although after it was explained I have to admit that I must have heard of it before, as it wasn't a completely foreign concept to me.
As Lawbeef suggests, it gets applied to many people. Europe for sure, France in particular.
I've heard the term quite a bit. Oddly, I heard it through my wife, who tells me that it's a common expression among African American teachers within Chicago Public Schools. I think it's one of those terms that you should probably avoid using unless you're of that ethnicity.

Yeah I've heard of people referencing "[X group] time" as indicating that people of such group are perpetually late, but I haven't heard CP time specifically.
Honestly, though, stuff like this makes me question the collective judgment of De Blasio and Clinton's teams. Who the fuck allows their white candidate to go on stage and make a joke involving the phrase "colored people" in any way? The upside (people like the joke) is so small, and the downside (opponents can now include as a soundbite, "Clinton / De Blasio made a 'colored people' joke'") is potentially enormous.
I've heard of "gay time", but in a joking way. I don't think I've heard of CP time before (or if I have, I've never heard what the abbreviation stood for)

I've never been to the site before. I just found it from the image of hillary in dreadlocks (which was what I was looking for). Didn't really read anything on the site but that one article.
I will host the image and repost when I get some time this afternoon. Busy day.
Never heard of CPT but I have heard other versions of this to slander other cultures from coworkers about their own culture. I've also heard "Caribbean Time" or "Island Time" which are ways to tell you to chill out and relax, punctuality isn't important right now.

You are quite literally a walking homage to Trump (he's also been known to quote white supremacy groups in his twitter posts).

Thanks, I was feeling bad about it but that makes me feel MUCH better!!!
I've never heard this term before. Working in politics, I've often heard and made references to DST -- Democratic Standard Time -- since our events always seem to start late and run long.

Zarathud: The sad thing is that Barak Obama is a very intelligent and articulate person, even when you disagree with his views it's clear that he's very thoughtful. I would have loved to see Obama in a real debate.
Me: Wait 12 years, when he runs for president. :-)
It sounds familiar to me, so I must have heard/read it at some point. I'm a little surprised that they did it. They can't possibly have believed that simply including an African American in their joke made it alright.

I don't think they see him as Jewish enough to care.
While Bernie Sanders invoked his last few drops of Jewishness and the Holocaust in support of a Muslim anti-Semite’s crybullying, he didn’t feel the need to do so for the Jewish State when it actually stood on the verge of destruction. Instead he had called for denying arms to Israel before the Yom Kippur War.
In 1971, he told an audience, “no guns for Israel.” Two years later, the Yom Kippur War brought Israel to the brink of destruction and shipments of American arms made the difference. But Bernie Sanders did not care and in 1988 still insisted that, “It is wrong that the United States provides arms to Israel.”
In 1990, he called for America to “put more pressure on Israel”.
The truth about Bernie Sanders is that he is not Jewish in any sense other than the genetic. He is a left-wing radical who is uncomfortable with any mention of his Jewish background because he does not like Jews. Even his time on an Israeli Kibbutz, a staple with which his Jewish fans nurtured their fantasies of a Jewish Bernie, fell apart when it emerged that his Kibbutz had flown a red flag and admired Stalin and the Soviet Union as part of a radical leftist movement that had initially opposed the creation of Israel.
His first and foremost allegiance has always been to the left at the expense of the Jews.
Bernie Sanders cheered the Sandanista regime whose mobs chanted “Death to the Jews,” “Jewish Pigs” and “What Hitler started we will finish.” He did not invoke the Holocaust when a synagogue was firebombed and in an echo of Hitler’s Germany, its president was forced to scrub the streets.
The anti-Semitic regime that Bernie Sanders supported ethnically cleansed the Jewish population of Nicaragua. It marched the indigenous Indian population into churches and set them on fire.
And Bernie Sanders defended the Marxist terrorist regime that was committing these atrocities.
Bernie Sanders was equally enthusiastic about Cuba and the Soviet Union, two other Communist dictatorships that were persecuting the Jews. Sanders did not see fit to invoke the Holocaust on behalf of Jews actually facing anti-Semitic persecution the way that he has invoked it on behalf of Muslims.
But perhaps he thought that, like the other victims of the left, they were getting what they deserved.
Bernie Sanders does not want to be the first Jewish president. He wants to be the first Socialist president. There is nothing Jewish about Bernie Sanders except his vestigial accent. He makes common cause with anti-Semites because Jews don’t matter to him, only the agenda of the left does.

American Leftist Murdered by African Migrant She Sheltered at her Home in Austria

I am not a callous man. I'm genuinely empathetic to victims of barbarity but I put it to you that....prior to Semitic subjugation, our Indo-European belief in karmic retribution and natural order, would have taught us that the woman in the following story does not warrant our sympathy...
I mean, I'm not a racist by any means, but I put to you that prior to Zionist African leftist reeducation we instinctively knew who the inferior races were...

Hillary Clinton recently blasted the hidden financial dealings exposed in the Panama Papers, but she and her husband have multiple connections with people who have used the besieged law firm Mossack Fonseca to establish offshore entities.
Among them are Gabrielle Fialkoff, finance director for Hillary Clinton’s first campaign for the U.S. Senate; Frank Giustra, a Canadian mining magnate who has traveled the globe with Bill Clinton; the Chagoury family, which pledged $1 billion in projects to the Clinton Global Initiative; and Chinese billionaire Ng Lap Seng, who was at the center of a Democratic fund-raising scandal when Bill Clinton was president. Also using the Panamanian law firm was the company founded by the late billionaire investor Marc Rich, an international fugitive when Bill Clinton pardoned him in the final hours of his presidency.
New York Sen. Hillary Clinton shared her wealth in March, doling out $190,000 to Democrats in Iowa, New Hampshire and elsewhere, according to a campaign report filed late Thursday.
Two congressmen trying to make it to the Senate also got boosts from Clinton. Rep. Bernie Sanders, who is running for the seat held by retiring Vermont lawmaker Jim Jeffords, received $10,000, as did Harold Ford Jr. of Tennessee, who is campaigning for the seat being vacated by Majority Leader Bill Frist. Newly minted Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey also got $10,000.

"The world is suffering more today from the good people who want to mind other men's business than it is from the bad people who are willing to let everybody look after their own individual affairs." - Clarence Darrow
In terms of stark contrasts between Clinton and Sanders, you couldn’t find a greater example of two candidates who epitomize opposing value systems. While Bernie Sanders has electrified millions of voters by simply focusing on progressive ideals, Hillary Clinton can’t even disclose a speech transcript, or hold a fundraising event without static noise machines.
I explain why Clinton can’t disclose Wall Street speech transcripts in the following YouTube segment. In addition, I urge all my critics within the Democratic establishment to subscribe to my YouTube channel for comedy relief, because the fun it just beginning. Imagine the laughter after the FBI formally interviews Clinton and her top aides, and finally discloses the evidence found during a year-long investigation.
It’s an honor to be viewed as Andy Kaufman by people who think Clinton is qualified to become president, in this bizarre world where glaring weaknesses are seen as strengths, and overt lies are viewed as simply smart politics. No doubt, when Clinton’s national favorability rating soars from its current 56% to perhaps 70%, after the FBI formally discloses its findings (with or without indictments, the media firestorm will hurt favorability numbers), my thoughts might be viewed as less amusing by devout Hillary supporters.
For what it's worth, I think we all know what's in those transcripts: a bit of routine praise for the yeoman work that investment bankers do to keep the gears of the economy well oiled. Maybe something like this:
These are tough times for investment bankers. I think Goldman Sachs is the only organization with a lower approval rating than Congress [audience laughs politely between bites of prime rib]. But seriously, folks, Main Street and Wall Street need each other. Bankers aren't villains. I support higher leverage requirements and regulation of derivatives [audience stares moodily at their forks], but I've always said that we need to do it in a practical way. Some of the financial engineering that's come under such attack from the Bernie Sanders of the world [audience brightens] is just what our country needs. It helps states build roads and cities build schools. You're the villains when things go bad—and maybe sometimes you deserve to be. But other times you're the heroes America can't do without.
This is the kind of thing that people say when they give a speech. But in the hands of a political opponent, it will come out like this:
Bankers aren't villains....The financial engineering that's come under such attack from the Bernie Sanders of the world is just what our country needs. It helps states build roads and cities build schools....You're the heroes America can't do without.
Something like that, anyway. My own guess is that it's vanishingly unlikely Hillary said anything in these speeches that's truly a bombshell. Her entire life suggests the kind of caution and experience with leaks that almost certainly made these speeches dull and predictable. But the Goldman folks knew all that up front. They just wanted the cachet of having a Clinton address their dinner.
As for the odds of a genuine bombshell, I'd put it at about 1 percent. I guess you never know about these things, but literally everything in Hillary's 40-year political career suggests a woman who simply doesn't traffic in bombshells. It's not in her personality, and in any case, long experience has taught her better. It's only barely conceivable that something genuinely damning is anywhere in any of those speeches.
