The Colored Maid Who Is Constantly Late (1955)

A fun scene featuring actress Willa Pearl Curtis as Sarah.
Colored people's time (also abbreviated to CP time or CPT) is an American expression referring to a negative stereotype of African Americans as frequently being late. The expression is often described as a derogatory racist stereotype. It is considered derogatory because it implies that African Americans have a relaxed or indifferent view of work ethic, which leads to them being labeled as lazy or unreliable.
The phrase has been used as early as 1912. There are differences between monochronic societies and polychronic societies (e.g. some of those found in Sub-Saharan Africa). - Wikipedia

[@pinklady7184]

When you sleep in, you don't want maid to come in too early and find you lazing in bed. That happens to me, when a Filipino woman comes in. My mother hires her for helps with housework. My mother prefers her housecleaning skills to mine. Filipino woman is an incredibly fast worker, very methodical and orderly in everything she does: thus, she puts us Irish to shame.

@@glenncater1 It's funny how you consider normal as something good. Normal means you believe everything people tells you. I know plenty of people, Black, White, Native American, etc. who can see past what they show and see the meaning behind things. If you look at just what is on the screen, you, are normal and I feel sorry for you and your offspring.

[@lwills8609]

@@glenncater1 The definition of Normal: conforming to a standard; usual, typical, or expected. The usual, average, or typical state or condition. Black people have always fought for their rights. The Black Americans and others saw that they were not being treated right, they fought for it. When things need to change they stand up and change it. Even America itself; the revolutionary war began because the people didn't like the standard, the usual. The people wanted more than what was expected of them from the British Empire. So what happened...they fought for it and we are now in America away from the rules of the British. YOU China, are normal. you are willing to roll over and let people have their way with you. I don't know where you are from or where you were born (we can't always tell from your avatar or made up name). If you were born and raised here, in America, then you know we have rights to protest and to try and change the wrong that we see. Pointing out things in a movie is not complaining or being passive. We see it, we point it out, and we encourage others to do the same. If we complain, it is because we want to sound the alarm. You are below human if you have never complained about one thing in your life. Normal people get along and don't make a difference. Black people, CHINA!!!!!, are intelligent and extraordinary. Blacks have contributed and made a difference in a country that didn't treat them well. Blacks did not lay down and take it. They did get an education and fought for change. Change that others are enjoying and contributed nothing. Everyone else in this country can protest and complain but if a Black person does it, it seems to be offensive. Well CHINA!!!!, you can be normal, Blacks are better than normal. We are exceptional, visionaries, extraordinary, excellent, amazing, intelligent, special, unique, superb, unparalleled, etc...
