Kevin Hart, dumepensa sa cowboys-and-Indians party

-

HINDI pa rin ibinababa ni Kevin Hart ang kanyang depensa tungkol sa pagbibigay sa one-year-old son niyang si Kenzo ng cowboysand-Indians-themed birthday party ngayong Nobyembre.

Nagsalita siya tungkol sa pambabatik­os na natanggap niya sa kanyang SiriusXM show nitong Miyerkules, ang Straight from the Hart, at hindi siya humingi ng paumanhin sa mga taong nagsasabi na ang party ay “culturally insensitiv­e”, ayon sa Yahoo Celebrity.

Sa halip, aniya, ginawa niya rin ang parehong laro noong bata pa siya.

“As a kid, when you played these games, it was based off of the premise from a hypothetic­al place that was put into perception for movies,” sabi ni Kevin. “What I’m saying is this isn’t something that just started. This isn’t a racial slur that people are doing or being malicious with. This is a game that’s been played for years.”

Inilarawan niya rin kung paano dinumog ng mga negatibong komento ang post ng asawa niyang si Eniko Parrish.

“She posts this picture, and the next day there’s a lot of flak,” sabi ni Kevin. “You know, I don’t go on this s***; I don’t read none of that, so she tells me. She’s like, ‘Yo, come look at this dumb s*** on TMZ. People are complainin­g about the cowboys-and-Indians party, saying it’s insensitiv­e.’”

Dagdag pa ni Kevin, nagkataon na naglalaro at magkalaban ang Dallas Cowboys at Washington Redskins sa araw ng party.

“The reason why I’m even bringing this dumb s*** up is because it shows just how stupid our world is becoming with opinions,” ani Kevin. “People are at a point of an all-time high. To throw racial judgment into the developmen­t of a 1-yearold’s birthday party where the theme is cowboys and Indians? It’s based around the outfits that are given to the young kids!”

Kalaunan, sinabi ng co-host niya na may isang basher na ikinumpara ang theme ng party sa “relationsh­ip between slaves and slave owners”.

“If you don’t think there’s neighborho­ods where they play that game in certain white neighborho­ods, then you’re a f***ing idiot,” sagot ni Kevin. “You don’t think they had dumbass games like that? As a kid, do we play cops and robbers?As a kid, did you play cowboys and Indians? When you were a child, if you go to stores, you go to look at parapherna­lia. To be a cowboy, you’re buying boots, you’re buying a gun, you’re buying a hat. Some even had a lasso.”
