Fair or foul? Kevin Hart throwing his son a cowboys and Indians party

The Lonious Monk said:
Yes, but every culture doesn't claim that the people outside of that culture who show themselves representing aspects of that culture are feeding into hundreds of years perpetrated onto that culture. That's what you're claiming Kevin did. And I don't have a problem with Natives saying they don't like their culture being used as costume fare for parties. I'm just saying there is a difference between a group of people in Redface and a group of people wearing blankets with native themed prints on them. I already posted a pic of people in Redface. I don't see why it's so hard to admit that that is different from what Kevin and his people did.

The moment it was billed as a "Cowboys and Indians" party, that's precisely what he did.

Again, did he actually bill it as that? The threat title calls it that, but I don't see in the original tweet that Kevin or anyone associated with him called it that. If they indeed did call it that, then yeah, you got a point.

It ain’t about SJW or being too PC... just don’t be an asshole. It’s infuriating that people (mostly white folk, but I’m seeing a lot more niggas doin this shit too) don’t get that simple concept when it comes to things like this.

Apologize for what. Throwing his kid a party? Apologize to who? Twitter? They seem to be the only ones upset. I haven't heard of any Native American organizations complaining about the party. I wouldn't have that type of party theme simply because my kids aren't interested in cowboys/Indians. But maybe his kid likes it. You really believe Kevin Hart is trying to defame the Native Americans? If he is then what good is an apology?

Now think back to who promoted this as a "normal" children's activity and the time in history it was popular.

Just because something was normal in the past doesn't make it right.

In other words crackers said it was cool to play cowboys and indians and have the cowboys win. But niggas think shit sweet.

You're conflating a whole bunch of shit there. No one at all tried to compare the struggles, enslavement, and oppression of the two groups, so why did you even bring that up? This topic isn't about any of that.

The people at that party were not celebrating or referencing any of that shit. They also weren't wearing trumped up Native costumes. They were wearing Native inspired clothing and other things reflective of Native culture. And parties like that are not unique to Natives. Ever heard of a toga party? Ever heard of a rasta party? Those are the same exact things just with different cultures as the theme. Again, Natives have the right to be offended by this if they want, but stop acting like the act of wearing Native garments is the same as applauding the savagery that was directed towards the Natives in the past because it's not.

Wearong native garments without knowing what its about is offensive tho. You cant just wear a headress and not be from the tribe.

So you're saying that Native culture didn't exist until whites came along and started brutalizing you? That's bullshit and you know it. Natives existed and were doing their thing before white people even knew the Americas existed. So your culture is more than what they did to you. You're doing your own group a disservice to so intimately tie the culture you developed to the shit that white people did to you. That's crazy and it's not even true. If it is, then tell me why I can go to a reservation or a Native owned casino and buy Native clothing and items. If you see any wearing of that stuff by non-natives to be reflective of an acceptance of the trauma from the past, why do you sell it?

And again, you comparison is flawed. By the very act of calling a party a "Nigger Party" white people would be making it clear that the party was a mockery of black culture and not simply running with a theme. Did Kevin do that? Did he throw a "Savage Party" and have a bunch of people in full head dresses and war paint or did he have a "Cowboys and Indians Party" where some of the guests put on blankets with a native themed pattern. I'm not saying what he did was right, but can you really not see the difference between what he did and what you are saying he did?

The whole concept of cowboys and indians is offensive tho. When you play cowboys and indians the good guys are always cowboys.

I'm not white, and ya'll silly niggas gotta stop this "I don't agree with you so you can't be black" shit. It's silly and childish. How does me pointing out the difference between what the Harts did and blackface make me seem white? The difference is objective fact.

No one in the picture wore a headdress. From what I've seen they put on some blankets with native inspired print. I'd question whether that even counts as native garments. You're not even arguing against anything I've said.

Again, I never said anything otherwise. You have a pic of many people wear native inspired stuff, one kid in a cowboy getup, and a few people in regular clothes. How much it was a "Cowboys and Indians" party and how much it was just them seeing a cloak they liked and deciding to wear it as a group I don't know. Again, the Natives can be offended. There is nothing wrong with that, but what the Harts did was not the same as blackface. It just wasn't.
