Imagine the outcry if a Republican said this.

[Tahuyaman]

This is a perfect illustration of a liberal double standard.

Clinton says, “Thanks for the endorsement, Bill. Took you long enough,” followed by an off-camera “Oh snap” from Odom. So far, so good — this bit is actually working. But now it’s Bill’s turn to deliver some comedy gold.
What’s on your mind, Bill. SAY IT FROM YOUR CHEST.
“Sorry, Hillary.”

This is the moment when you want to freeze time. Something’s off, and it’s worrisome. Bill is about to do a joke — and you want to ask him, "Bill, have you asked people about this joke yet? Has this joke been cleared? If so, who gave the green light? Does your wife, Chirlane, know about this joke? Wait — no, you aren’t going to do the joke about ... oh no."

“I was running on CP— ”

No, Bill. You can’t. There is no way you’re about to overly enunciate this not-great joke while gesticulating every word as if you’re typing out emoji handclaps. Oh no, please someone stop this man before it’s too—

“I was running on CP time.”

I'm sure the liberals will dismiss this, but harp on the fact that I made a typo in the thread title.

Agreed with the diversion, just missed the "crying in own thread" diversion.

I'm not on a side.

Just pointing out the fact that you have already derailed your own thread by crying about people that might derail it in the future.

Self fulfilling prophecy there bud.

[Crepitus]

For what it's worth, you're right. Certain people would come unglued if a Republican said it.

IMHO whatever the standard is everyone should adhere to it.

[Safety]

If a republican had said it, beds would have been shat. That's a given, because there is a double standard, it exists because we have sides. The right spends their time reminding minorities how they should act, vote, and live, but at the same time think they can present a joke at the expense of a minority and it be well received.

The left doesn't have that problem, because they are labeled "social warriors", "white guilt ridden libs", and "race hustlers", so any time they joke at the expense of minorities, it's not a big deal because they have their "back".

Those are the breaks.

At least you can admit that a double standard exists. Of course you have most of it backwards, but that's par for the course.

actually the topic is basically how people like you live by a double standard. You are illustrating that perfectly.

The left treats blacks as though they are inferior and incapable of achieving any type of success. The Democrat party has created this dependent class and have a vested interest in keeping them right where they are.

Good advice seldom does. I must agree with you here.

Maybe it's because I'm young but I have no idea what "CP time" is, what it has to do with racism, or what is so funny about the "joke."

You've never heard of Colored People Time? Being where you need to be when you need to be there isn't a priority, that's what it means. Now that I think about it I haven't heard it used in a while, when I was a lot younger it was pretty common for someone to tell you to take your watch off of CPT when you were late to work.

Apparently SATIRE is lost with this group.. The show was the annual Inner Circle show where each year politicians show up and do satirical skits for charity. The show has been going on since 1922. So let me understand. This is the group that rails against political correctness... yet gets their Jockies twisted over THIS? As I said.. you must be running out of nits to pick.. Let me guess.. everyone here is really an old lady?

Because most NORMAL people know the difference and understand when something is a joke and when it's not? Just guessing.

In Last year's show Rudy Giuliani dressed in drag... should we assume he was REALLY trying to tell us something?

I don't think it makes a difference. If a republican made a joke about black people not showing up to work on time the media would crucify him whether it was meant as a joke or not.

Some people just don't know when to keep their mouth shut do they?


“I’ve looked at that quote, in fact I looked at the video,” Santorum argued. “In fact, I’m pretty confident I didn’t say black. What I think — I started to say a word and then sort of changed and it sort of — blah — mumbled it and sort of changed my thought.”

His defense is that he didn't say black but he might have meant to, he's not sure on what he meant though?

It does... because as you can see...ANYTHING can be twisted and blown out of proportion.. depending on what side of the political field you sympathize with. I contend that Giuliani was actually making fun of the LGBT community.. and should apologize at once.. No excuse for this kind of behavior... It's quite obvious that he is.. Just look at his face.. The OUTRAGE of it all!


Seems pretty funny to me that the only folks getting all vaporous over the CP comment are white republicans.. not CP... lol!!

The thread isn't about Giuliani, it's about colored people time and a double standard. It doesn't matter if Giuliani was offensive or not because his actions don't change what deBlasio said.

I guess you simply just don't understand... I was using Giuliani and fake outrage to show you how stupid this whole thing is.. Go ahead.. be breathlessly outraged over nothing.. .. No big deal.. What the GOP thinks is inconsequential anyway..

No, you claim that the right has created this condition. The exact opposite is true.

it's cool

hillary found somebody else to blame



Amid a firestorm of criticism from black community leaders, Hillary Clinton distanced herself Tuesday from a skit with Mayor de Blasio that included a tone-deaf racial joke about “ CP time.”
“Well, look, it was Mayor de Blasio’s skit,” Clinton said in an interview with Cosmopolitan.com (http://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/news/a56709/hillary-clinton-women-cabinet/).

De Blasio's remark was no different than if Jeff Foxworthy appeared at a southern conservative event and told one of his trademark redneck jokes.

The crowd "gets it" because he's one of them.

If Al Franken appeared publicly and made a redneck joke, conservatives would get their panties in a wad about that.

Faux poutrage and much ado about nothing.
