"Clinton took the stage for a surprise appearance at Saturday’s Inner Circle Dinner and proceeded to needle Mayor Bill de Blasio for his belated endorsement.

"I just have to say thanks for the endorsement, Bill. Took you long enough,” Clinton told her former campaign manager.

“Sorry, Hillary, I was running on C.P. time,” de Blasio replied to gasps from the crowd."

"Clinton then appeared to rescue de Blasio by saying he meant "cautious politician time.”

CP time is a racist term that refers to colored people time.

Man she shouldn't have tried to help him out. Disgusting.

 

[gdt]

I've honestly never heard that reference.

 

[ApharmdX]

The joke was shitty and inappropriate.

 

[Africanus]

They're kidding me right.

Anyways wikipedia already on it

 

[Familienoberhauptvogel]

Why is she catching heat?

 

[GorillaJu]

Best case scenario: "cautious politician time" is an an in-joke among politicians and really is a thing.

 

[Piecake]

That's a pretty misleading title.

De Blasio makes a racist joke and Hilary tries to save him is much more accurate

 

[Acorn]

What the fuck? How does that even enter your head especially as a politician?

Never heard of it before.

 

[Alienous]

The people who gasped are the true villains.

 

[KingSnake]

Why is Hillary catching heat for this?

 

[AzureSkies]

EDIT: nevermind

 

[EnlightenedMint]

I saw this earlier, cant beleive he thought that was a funny joke.

 

[EdwardTeach]

Given the context it is highly unlikely he meant coloured people.

 

[Lights and Waves]

She didn't make the joke.

 

[bigkrev]

Never heard CP like that before. First thing that would have jumped into my head if someone asked "what objectionable term does CP stand for" would have been Child Porn.

 

[wenis]

What? The? Fuck?

 

[IrishNinja]

never heard of that one, and my entire city runs on cuban time

 

[Spinifex]

I like imagining there was a record scratch along with those gasps

 

[Guevara]

That's a pretty misleading title.

De Blasio makes a racist joke and Hilary tries to save him is much more accurate

Sure seems that way.

 

[davepoobond]

I've honestly never heard that reference.

same.


how bad is this on the offensive scale?

 

[Dabanton]

I've honestly never heard that reference.

CPT is well known if you're black or hang around with black people. Its a bit overplayed but it's a realish 'thing' though I would never have thought I'd see it referenced at a political rally.

 

[Speevy]

She just won the Trump vote.

 

[Tesseract]

i don't truck cp time

 

[- J - D -]

I admit, I've never heard of that phrase before now. Can't imagine anyone thinking it'd be a good joke to make at an event like this one though.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

I saw this earlier, cant beleive he thought that was a funny joke.

he forgot he wasn't at home.

 

[DrForester]

Never heard that term before.

 

[Alandrus Sun]

De Blasio forgot he wasn't black for a moment.

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Yeah, I've heard that before. Pretty dumb thing to say. Especially when you're a politician walking out on stage. You should really be measuring your words better than this. Embarrassing.

 

[massoluk]

Honestly never heard of this too.

 

[Log4Girlz]

why is hillary catching heat when she tried to save the joke?

i don't even like hillary and here i am defending her

Why try to save it. Why not blast it as inappropriate? That's probably why.

 

[R3TRO]

Damn haven't heard that one in years.

 

[NullPointer]

What the fuck? How does that even enter your head especially as a politician?

Never heard of it before.

Never heard that term before either.

Such a crazy thing to say.

 

[Corronchilejano]

I thought it meant child porn. Always thought it was just really dark humor.

Edit: not that I hear it very often.

 

[Byakuya769]

why is hillary catching heat when she tried to save the joke?

i don't even like hillary and here i am defending her

Save the joke? That was a bit.

They planned that and they fell flat. Not worth getting mad about unless you're wanting her to be a competent campaigner--then you should be pissed.

I just don't understand how she continues to fuck up on a fundamental level.

 

[Alienous]

I'm guessing he didn't know what the 'CP' stood for?

Maybe he thought it was a hip phrase?

 

[Cat Party]

Never heard that term before.

Same.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

De Blasio forgot he wasn't black for a moment.

Pretty much lol

 

[Chariot]

That's a pretty misleading title.

De Blasio makes a racist joke and Hilary tries to save him is much more accurate

True. Very shitty situation here. It certainly doean't make her look good, but it's not a sword on her either. Her other options were ignoring, doubling down and calling him out. All bad options for the likes of Hillary.

Not a fan of her's, but that was a rather diplomatic option. Although she's getting in bed with this guy in the first placce is another thing.

I'm guessing he didn't know what the 'CP' stood for?

Maybe he thought it was a hip phrase?

That's not better.

 

[Vilix]

Never knew that was a thing.

 

[PBY]

Given the context it is highly unlikely he meant coloured people.

Given the context its exactly what he meant.

I don't know if this matters, its just super weird to me that they went for this joke.

Also - this was a fucking bit guys, she didn't just off-the-cuff that, come on.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Never heard that term in either context before.

But if it drew gasps. Im in the minority on this.

 

[Imm0rt4l]

he forgot he wasn't at home.

De Blasio forgot he wasn't black for a moment.

Basically

 

[Goodstyle]

I know what they were going for. Reminds of an Archer joke where Sterling's mom would say that she doesn't want Archer dating his black girlfriend. The joke went

"I don't want him dating a black *pause* ops field agent!"

The thing with making that type of joke is that it requires some modicum of comedic timing. DeBlasio and Hillary have absolutely NONE.

 

[collige]

Is CP Time considered to be different from African Time? Because the latter is real as shit.

 

[Piecake]

Save the joke? That was a bit.

They planned that and they fell flat. Not worth getting made about unless you're wanting her to be a competent campaigner--then you should be pissed.

I just don't understand how she's continues to fuck up on a fundamental level.

How do you know that was a joke planned beforehand by De Blasio and Clinton?

 

[Guevara]

Man, remember when DeBlasio was the great progressive hope?

 

[Kin5290]

CPT is well known if you're black or hang around with black people. Its a bit overplayed but it's a realish 'thing' though I would never have thought I'd see it referenced at a political rally.

Huh. Because I grew up with Chinese time, which referred to Chinese American. people always being a little bit late to things.

 

[jordan0386]

One of the safest racial jokes. But, lol, not on that stage bruh. Not like this...

 

[Aureon]

Why try to save it. Why not blast it as inappropriate? That's probably why.

You can't start blasting a politician who's JUST endorsed you, can you?

 

[Gordon Shumway]

That's fucked up blaming his wife and kids like that..
