"Black people time" is a measurement of time used to describe the difference of black peoples' perception of time with respect to everyone else's perception of time.
"It is 12:15...didn't Tyrone say he was going to meet us here for lunch at this time?"
"Yeah, but he is on black people time (bpt), so it will be another 45 minutes to 2 hours..."
"What a dick!"

There's a lot of zany answers here, but with a 20 year career in black entertainment, I can assure you: "Black People Time" is the standard usage of the 3 letters.
After years of working every sort of R&B, hip-hop, jazz and gospel concert, I was familiar with the term and the realization years-ago that it was in-fact a true anomaly.
The truly stunning examples of it were on Broadway shows. We used to watch in amazement while working a particularly popular/hip Broadway show with all AA actors;
The show would start at 8pm promptly...and sure enough...half the audience would not saunter-in until 9-10pm!
It's like...why did you even come?Lol.

bpt = bridgeport
For those that live in the new haven area and other various places around connecticut they might refer to bridgeport as BPT
