During an interview with NPR affiliate WSIU-FM, Cooper claimed that black people have a reputation for being late, therefore time itself is “owned” by white people.
Typically, we talk about race in terms of black and white issues. In the African-American communities from which I come, we have a long-standing multigenerational joke about what we call CP time or colored people time. Now, we no longer refer to African-Americans as colored. But this long-standing joke about our perpetual lateness to church, to cookouts, to family events and even to our own funerals remains. I personally am a stickler for time. It’s almost as if my mother, when I was growing up, said, we will not be those black people. So we typically arrive to events 30 minutes early. But today I want to talk to you more about the political nature of time; for if time had a race, it would be white. White people own time.
Remember, these people are teaching your kids and our future leaders!
Why do Black people tolerate this insanity? Stereotypes and even selective facts aside, anyone with an African bloodline should be standing up. The last thing you folks want to do is having anyone in your community representing anything that comes close to the diluted, Anglo, Marxist bull’$’hit that sticky-skinned white dudes and dudettes spew, live by, and pump out genetic rejects over.
Wow. There’s a woman who never saw a meal she didn’t like. Have some self-control and some dignity. I understand why you were late.
