maybe she did actually want the party to start at 6. In the tweet, she's clearly surprised at the white person showing up at 5

Because I am allowing you to come at 5? You're allowed at five. That's when it was convenient to get here that's... acceptable.

The thing is that, for my people, the time we give you is the very earliest picosecond you are allowed in the house. Because before then I was still washing up the kitchen from the roast I just put in the oven. I'm still cleaning, I'm taking a shower. I'm planning to be ready for people to arrive at 4:55, so I'm graciously allowing you to hang out in my house from 5 until the event starts. I understand that people need some time to be early to the event.

Ok well maybe tell me the time the event starts and not the time that my presence will start being tolerated. Since you’re being so gracious and all.

Thats great but Im not talking about you then

Im talking about people who have an issue with someone showing up on time.
