Tom Hanks’ son Chet Hanks aka “Chet Haze,” is defending his use the n-word and according to reactions, he seems to be the only one who feels he has carte blanche.
Chet uploaded a video (now deleted) to Instagram attempting to justify his use of the n-word. Chet says in his description: “Who is to say only black people can use it? The way I see it, it’s a word that unifies the culture of HIP-HOP across ALL RACES, which is actually kind of a beautiful thing. It’s a word that can be used out of camaraderie and love, not just exclusively for black people.”
Again, I did not delete my Instagram… Instagram went ahead and did that for me.

However, Scrilla King who has collaborated and performed with Chet in the past told TMZ, he recently ended their 6-year friendship, because of Chet’s desire to use the n-word. “It’s disrespectful. He thinks it’s a joke.” Chet, adds, “He wakes up thinking he can be black today and know what we go through. He doesn’t. I wake up black every day, he does not.”
I rather have an honest enemy than a fake friend.
