"I'm late all the time. I have no perception of time. (laughs) Time is for white people. It doesn't work with me."

Remember when she had her child with Andre 3000 with OutKast? Every time she was interviewed on the radio about that, she would talk about how Andre 3000's sperm was so sacred she had to give birth to his child. She went on and on about it.
She needs to hook up with Alicia Keys.
"Time is for white people. It doesn't work with me."
Well, I hope you never find yourself doing it, miss.
Jane--LOL!
Black people drugs, PJ. You wouldn't understand.
The kind that makes you late.
And have you seen the clock that Flavor Flav wears? look at that and tell me time isn't for black people!
I'm a bit slow. I'm on CPT.

If time is for white people, then why are the Asians so much more efficient than anyone else?

Thats why I switched to Newsweek.

I see she went from the giant tampon look to Diana Ross crack whore. What does she put in her Wheaties? Jack Daniels?
Time: "You think you look bad now, just wait. I tried to nice."
Is that her mug shot?
She's a douchebag.

This caught my eye because people who are always late just piss me off. It's so inconsiderate. Make and effort, get organized, and get there when you said you would.
Apparently letting the people behind her see what's going on is not for her either.
She's always late and yet is so organized that she has to fold her clothes before having sex? I call bull****.

There is an African-American fraternity that books a theatre party at our theatre every year. The performance is at 8 PM, but they always print "Curtain at 7:45 PM" on the special benefit tickets they sell. The organizers of the event know that's the only way the audience wil arrive on time. They have a clear understanding of CPT.

YES. YES. YES.
There's also GPT--gay people time--even your best friends don't show up on time for your parties, they leave as soon as they hook up, there's always a story...
I think the subtext of what Erykah said is "Time is for dorks--nobody cool is ever on time."
And she does have a point--is there a beloved diva who DOESN'T make a late entrance?
To me, if you're habitually late, that shows a lack of respect and consideration for other people's time. It's one of my biggest pet peeves.
Edit: Parties don't count.
DQT is in a class by itself. Have you ever known a drag show to start on time?
