quote:

Chester Hanks, son of actor Tom Hanks and actress Rita Wilson, is under fire for a series of Instagram posts in which he defends his use of the n-word.

The aspiring rapper, who also goes by the name Chet Haze, says he uses the racially charged word among his friends as part of his right to free speech.

"Hip-hop isn't about race. It's about the culture you identify with," Hanks said, adding that most people do not understand his position. In another video, he said the n-word is "an unspoken thing between people who are friends, who understand each other."




black people thought they reclaimed the word but cultural appropriation is going to have the last laugh if people that look like this guy can call their friends niggas without a trace of irony

no you see this racial slur meant to dehumanize and undermine an entire segment of the world's population is not offensive per se, but actually a word of friendship

as the son of tom hanks, i have a unique understanding of the lives of urban youth who probably grew up so poor that they were lucky to have a roof over their heads

Because it never leaves its bedroom, no one has ever seen this poster's real face.
this is a step on the road to the n word no longer having any power as a racial epithet. white people should start calling each other friend of the family all the time. asians and mexicans do it. it would force cultural progression and also be a good way to get more white people killed

I like how every time this guy is mentioned he's always referred as "Tom Hanks' Rapping Son" like it's his official rap moniker. He needs to team up with Bob Dylans Rapping Grandson and release a terrible freestyle over highway 61 or w/e

actually if you think about it, it's 2 syllables, while "black person" is 3 syllables and "african american" is 7; saying it is simply being economical with language and as shakespeare (sp?) said brevity is the soul of wit
