 2 types of people in this world: those who know exactly what it is they want and are doing everything they can to get it; and those who just wander aimlessly through life because they are scared to death of failure. I've lost a lot of so called friends cuz they turned out to be the second kind. Fuck yall hating ass niggaz I'll never stop chasing my dream ☝🏻️☝🏻️☝🏻#OneLifeOneGodOneLove A photo posted by 🌴LA / WORLD WIDE 🌍 (@chethanx) on May 31, 2015 at 10:54am PDT 
 
 Check out the song me and my nigga @chillthatdude just dropped on my Soundcloud #Juice LINK IN MY BIO #GoListen!!! Maybe he's just acting out for attention from his dad and from us -- but giving it to him just feels too good. For every one of the famous people who have used it, there are hundreds on Twitter and thousands in private who use it and don’t care about the consequences.  [There was a video here] 
 
 Early Tuesday morning, Chester Hanks, the son of beloved white millionaire Tom Hanks, posted an Instagram video to explain that “hip-hop isn’t about race” and it’s actually extremely fresh that he says “nigga.” 
 
 By his own admission, however, Chet knows most of you won’t “get” it, so he accompanied his video with a 280-word screed about how “fuck[ing one’s] hating ass niggaz” is actually an inalienable right protected by the Constitution: 
 
 If I say the word nigga I say it amongst people I love and who love me. Tom Hanks most recently starred in the Walt Disney film “Saving Mr. Banks.” Chet Hanks most recently starred in an Instagram video of himself enjoying the first class seating on an international New Zealand Air flight.
– Over the weekend, Tom Hanks' son used the n-word. Twice. Today he helpfully explained why no one should be upset about that. Gawker, not surprisingly, was quick to report both incidents (and to point out that Chester Hanks, or "Chet Haze," as the self-styled rapper goes by, is in fact white). The rundown: On Sunday, Chet posted a photo of himself to Instagram with a caption that said, among other things, "Fuck yall hating ass [n-word] I'll never stop chasing my dream." The day prior to that, he had posted a photo of himself and a friend—or, as he called it, "me and my [n-word]." Controversy ensued. (Sample headlines: "We Need to Talk About Chet," "Chet Haze, Pretend Rapper, Is Now Spouting the N-Word on Instagram," and "Chet Haze Drops N-Bombs on Instagram, Continues to Suck.") This morning, Haze posted another photo of himself to Instagram along with his explanation. It starts: "If I say the word [n-word] I say it amongst people I love and who love me." He goes on to explain the Constitution: "I don't accept society getting to decide what ANYBODY can or can't say. That's something we call FREE SPEECH." The history lesson continues: "Now I understand the older generation who grew up in the Jim Crowe era might have strong feelings against this." But, as he explains, it's 2015 now and the n-word is "a word that unifies the culture of HIP-HOP across ALL RACES, which is actually kind of a beautiful thing."
