Kevin Hart Defends Son’s ‘Cowboys and Indians’ Themed Birthday Party After Backlash The comedian is not apologizing for the party he threw his 1-year-old-son, Kenzo. After Hart’s wife, Eniko Hart, posted pictures from the party on her Instagram, people called it culturally insensitive. “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… This isn’t a racial slur that people are doing or being malicious with. This is a game that’s been played for years.” Kevin Hart, on ’Straight from the Hart’ Hart continued defending the party by saying that “people are at a point of an all-time high.” “... it shows just how stupid our world is becoming with opinions… To throw racial judgment into the development of a 1-year-old’s birthday party where the theme is cowboys and Indians? It’s based around the outfits that are given to the young kids!” Kevin Hart, on ‘Straight from the Hart’ Hart’s co-host mentioned a comment where one person compared the party to the 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.” - Kevin Hart, on ‘Straight from the Hart’ The comedian continued to emphasize the innocence behind the birthday theme. “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.”
