Don't get mad... It's GENETICS

CP TIME

The usually correct stereotype that African-Americans are incapable of punctuality, and are chronically tardy in both arriving at and beginning events and functions.

Shit is real, son... I tried to hip my Anglo friends to this and they still aren't hearing me. Let's discuss...

Now, I am GENERALLY on time to things but every now and then a bitch is late. Super late. Late like you'll call me and I should already be there but I'm just getting my fro right in the mirror and haven't walked out the house late. Shit happens. I blame GENETICS. But then again, I can't really do that because I'm 1/4 Indian and a 1/4 Scottish. I blame the half that make me whole. ANYWAYS...

I state this simply to impart unto you that you should not get mad at your African American friends. Rather, you should add an extra, let's say, 30 minutes into your appointed meeting time.

Let's role play:

BECKY: Let's meet like at 6:30! Ok?
ME:Ok!
BECKY: (to self) I'm gonna meet this bizznitch at 7, cuz I know her ass will be on CP TIME.
BECKY: See you at 6:30 girl!

7 pm rolls around and BECKY is walking into the appointed destination...

ME: Girllll! You just got here! Me too!
BECKY: (to self) EXACTLY!

This way, no one gets mad. Try it sometime...
