Since the dawn of time, punctuality has been a scam. You rush to get ready for an event, only to discover that your pants have a hole in them, there’s a chance of rain, and the train is skipping your stop, so now the fastest method is a $100 rideshare to go 2 miles.

In Colored People Time, Manny Fidel bravely confronts this injustice head-on, arguing that until America reaches genuine racial equity, people of color are allowed—nay, encouraged—to be late to anything they want.
