Chet Hanks
1,185 words
Chet Hanks, Tom Hanks’ aspiring rapper son, declared the upcoming season “white boy summer.”
“I got this feeling that this summer is going to be a white boy summer,” Hanks said in a viral Instagram video. He made sure to define what kind of “vanilla king” he was talking about. “I’m not talking about Trump, NASCAR-type white. I’m talking about me, Jon B., Jack Harlow-type white boys, you know what I mean?” All three of the mentioned white dudes perform black music and affect black styles. You could call them “wiggers,” especially Chet.

White boy summer, for all its goofiness, presents an uncomfortable sight for the system. Even though the meme promotes a black-drenched and politically correct white masculinity, it’s still too threatening for our guardians of culture. Our society cannot tolerate any celebration of white men as white men, much less a whole season dedicated to white men.
Hanks has rules and regulations for white boy summer. The initial list mostly dealt with not wearing prep attire such as plaid polos and Sperry footwear. He recommended simple t-shirts and street shoes. Wigger attire has improved since the release of Malibu’s Most Wanted. In that comedy film, the wiggers wore baggy pants and durags. Chet Hanks looks less ridiculous than that, even if he still imitates black speech.
Internet critics lambasted the rules for not including warnings against racism. Sure enough, Hanks followed up with a video telling his followers that prejudice was not white boy summer and encouraged love for everyone. He ran into more trouble when he issued merchandise emblazoned with “white boy summer” in Gothic font. The likely intent was to emulate gangsta rap albums, which love the font. But skinheads and other “white supremacists” also love the font, further degrading Hanks’s season in the eyes of journalists and Leftists.

Hanks released “Black Queen Summer” merch to coincide with his white boy merch. The son of Tom prefers black women and has a mixed-race child with a past partner. “You can’t be a real ivory king without a black queen,” he said in a promo for “Black Queen Summer.”
Needless to say, Chet Hanks cuts an odd figure for a white advocate. His whole life centers around black people and their culture. He even tries to speak like them, from his usual quasi-ebonics to occasionally affecting a Jamaican patois. This made all the funnier by being Tom Hanks’s son, Hollywood’s go-to actor for Mr. Ordinary White Man.
There’s a clownish aspect that protects the meme from outright cancellation. He may be problematic, but Chet Hanks can’t be considered a white supremacist. He’s even ranted against Donald Trump and other Right-wingers. It’s (sorta) okay to be white if you’re a clownish wigger.
New Yorker writer Naomi Fry best expressed the chattering class’s thoughts on white boy summer. “The message, it seemed, was that being a white boy shouldn’t be a special source of pride; in Hanks’s telling, white boys were a little idiotic and little pathetic, and most certainly in need of help, for which he was the self-assigned source,” Fry writes. According to her, white boy summer promised to make whiteness mundane and laughable again. But the neuroticism shared by Fry and her class is still incapable of seeing whiteness as anything less than the greatest threat to America.
“Under the Trump Administration, mundane, everyday things — red baseball caps, the gay anthem ‘Macho Man’ — were hijacked as symbols of a toxic nationalism,” she writes. “The Biden Presidency seemed, conversely, like an opportunity to bring back the notion of an anodyne whiteness, one that doesn’t fill anyone who is not a white boy with immediate dread. That was the initial potential of white-boy summer, as promised by Hanks, a sort of good-vibes emissary, and the son of the closest thing that America has to a father figure.”
But Chet can’t do this, because he’s accused of abusing one of his black ex-girlfriends and has previously used the n-word. Hanks even defended his use of the n-word as an expression of unity within the hip-hop world, regardless of race. He’s also too problematic, according to Fry, because he has muscles and swagger. She writes how she would watch Hanks’s many Instagram videos and constantly worry he may slip into hardcore racism. She would breathe a sigh of relief at the end of a video with no racism.
“It may be difficult, if not impossible, to make whiteness mundane again,” she concludes.
Fry and other writers hoped Hanks could present a new and approved white masculinity that liberal harpies could vibe with. They treated his meme as a dashed opportunity. Others saw it as a “neo-Nazi” marketing campaign from the start. Raw Story published a story with the hilarious headline: “How Tom Hanks’ son is inspiring Neo-Nazis eager for the return of the Third Reich.” The story shrieked over Right-wing memesters combining white boy summer with ironic memes about Kyle Rittenhouse and bad optics. The liberal outlet determined that these posts made white boy summer very, very dangerous.
Despite the condemnations, white boy summer lives on. Should we be happy with it? For the meme value alone, yes. White boy summer is a mainstream hashtag we can appropriate for our own uses. We don’t need to affect black mannerisms or styles to participate. Another hot summer of race riots and Black Lives Matter evangelism awaits us. It’s good to have a ready-made hashtag to counter all the negativity we’ll see and trigger our enemies with the truth that it’s our summer.
You can buy James O’Meara’s The Homo and the Negro here.
But it should be done without Chet’s rules and ideas. One of the tragedies of modern life is how many white males think their own people can’t be masculine. They associate whiteness with dorks and effeminacy. Blacks, on other hand, are macho and cool. Their culture and music are masculine and energetic. To be a real man, you have to emulate blacks rather than uptight whites. This mentality is the root of wiggerdom and it’s promoted by the system. White masculinity is declasse and racist; black masculinity is valued and celebrated.
Sensible white people need to avoid the black masculinity trap. Chet Hanks, from his substance abuse to his miscegenation, doesn’t provide an example for white people to follow. That’s why we need to make white boy summer our own.
It’s a great meme that shouldn’t be wasted on wiggers.

Credit where it’s due to the wigger for creating the meme. Unfortunately for him, I suspect he’s about to find out that appropriating memes is a specialty of the online dissident right. Think of cartoonist Matt Furie or the Canadian synth-pop duo Brave Shores.
If Derek Chauvin walks, it would be metapolitical negligence not to take advantage of this meme.
If executed right #WhiteBoySummer will be successfully co-opted and join the pantheon of reliable and never stale memes like ‘It’s Okay To Be White’ and the OK 👌🏻 gesture. Perhaps it will be honored by and earn a spot on the ADL website.
I for one plan on doing my part. The Neon Raccoon tank-tops are ordered.
Because during #WhiteBoySummer, every day is #FizeekFriday.
I try to live my life without hashtags. This feels more authentically White.
Me too, Arse. I don’t understand what the hell is going on here…
bullshit like this makes no sense to me at all.
Although it’s getting more difficult, there are still many symbols of White masculinity to draw power from. For example:
Blue collar: Motocross, skating/surfing/snowboarding, punk rock, heavy metal, country, (European-inspired) tattoos, hunting, camping, hockey…
White Collar: Polo shirts, boating, rugby, swimming, new wave music, classical music, (European) sports cars…
Maybe we think these things are superficial but tribal cues are important, especially for young men forming friendships and learning what it means to be a man. I’d love to see a proper post from CC on this topic…
I agree with your examples. Whites need to reconnect to the outdoors, white males especially.
Not the least because blacks despise the outdoors other than the front yard or drive by shooting. We all know the national parks are racist so they stay away in droves. Beaches certainly are racist. Look at all the white sand!

I’ll never forget when he had a meltdown on Instagram over the /pol/ thread discussing his father’s alleged pedophilia and his wigger antics. He might have actually posted in the thread too since someone was rage posting and threatening lawsuits, it could’ve just been someone trolling though I wouldn’t be at all surprised if it was actually him. Regardless of whether he posted there or not he definitely saw what we were saying, he was having a conniption fit posting screenshots of the thread in real time before eventually wiping all the posts about it. Fun times.
That’s White “Man” Summer to you, wigger!
Hundreds/Thousands of people from many diverse racial/national/ethnic backgrounds are arrested in the USA DAILY…some more dangerous than others, most cases follow the usual protocols. BUT when a BLACK individual ,usually with a long CRIMINAL record is arrested/shot for resisting arrests, on drugs/with guns…the whole world explodes into RIOTS LOOTINGS VIOLENCE etc. why?? does a whole city has to pay for their crimes?? Maybe its time that law agencies consider making a policy to forbid whites officers arrest BLCKS…develop a whole new area of policing studies like POLICING BLACK COMMUNITIES, or OUTSOURCING policing to private (black) contractors let BLACKS PAY$$$ for their own policing crime/riot/looting INSURANCE…we had had ENOUG…now BLMANTIFA has become a PARAmilitary/parallel govertment…WHO is running this country???
Why does that happen? Because the media hypes it that way. The MSM is the number one enemy.
What to do about it? Ideally, Blacks would form their own country, and then they can deal with keeping themselves out of trouble.
Boy, would I have liked to have been a fly on the wall when Tom called him up to ask about this stupidity.
Seriously though, as a young boy growing up in a racially diverse part of Omaha, I fell into the idea that if I have something in common with them, i.e. Hip Hop music, the black kids would accept me and treat me like a friend. While a few instances like that occurred, I learned rather quickly that most of them don’t want to be my friend and will exploit my naivety and friendliness to either take from me or threaten me. The sooner dorks like this guy realize they’re not one of the “cool white dudes” the better off they’ll be.

Mmmm, Dunno Jim. I think a young man cannae do better than the ol’ Sex Pistols or when in a worse mood, “T’ Explioted”…”Oi Polloi is ye wan’ t’ get fookin’ extreme.
Oi Polloi, eh? I saw them supporting Conflict once (not that I’m proud of it). The bass player didn’t show up, so they managed without him, and sounded surprisingly good.
Please do a karaoke version of your rendition of “In The Ghetto”.
I would encourage our young people to eschew the ‘moronic inferno’ of pop culture and especially the toxic badlands of ‘hip hop’. Let them exchange the fools’ gold of ‘the cool’ for the proper manly and womanly virtues of our ancestors.
It is time to leave Black culture to the originators who are so proud of it. Let us Whites, who are the sons and daughters of Apollo and Athene, embrace again our sublime High Culture that all once shared and that used to be inculcated into our schoolchildren!
Get to know classical music, read the classics of Western literature and Philosophy, ancient and modern – learn the original languages if need be. The intellectual pygmies of BLM and their ophidian enablers are afraid of our sublime cultural legacy for they know that it lies beyond the orc-minded and is alien to the money changers.
Let us take up our abandoned heritage, which only our people can create and nourish: the vomitus of the thug and the ignoramus we gladly leave to the merchants to peddle to those who can rise no higher.
Excellent comment. I like Hampton’s commentary a lot, but this post was misconceived from the start. The subject matter is beneath the notice of serious men.
The best way to be white today – to be truly countercultural – is not to proclaim or advertise the fact, but simply to be exactly what the shit (((culture))) does not want us to be: conventional in appearance (not striving after any presentational effect, whether wigger or Cary Grant); self-disciplined in intellect, speech and behavior; capable in action; widely skilled in useful ways, especially those related to survival in all its aspects; well-read; and thoroughly undeceived about biological and political reality. Aristotle said something to the effect that excellence is a habit. We should cultivate such habits. There is nothing more threatening to the alien occupationist regime than a strong, skilled, knowledgeable, self-confident, “cisgender”, and proud white man.
There are now many creatures whose names and faces I recognize that I wish I did not. This creature (Who?) is, Gott sei dank, not one of them. But the picture alone makes me realize how old I am.
And yes, IGotYourMaskRightHere, I also hate the un-manning phrase “White boy.” When they called themselves “The Proud Boys”, I lost all interest in that group, even before they did the GOP thing and thought that having a Black frontman would ward off “raycizm” charges.
The whole thing is dumb and should be ignored.
German 89-year-old woman sees her Australian great-grandson for the first time. How good that he is not a Negro, because the family apparently now includes Muslims, as it turns out when they all appear.

I’ll skip #WhiteBoySummer, give me a ring when it’s #WhiteFolkSpring.
It’s a lovely day today, where I am in Australia. Coming into winter; beautiful clear days with lots of sunshine. If everyone in this country ignored and shunned every arse-hole in an authority position and if everyone carried on with their business in the way that people used to; we could have an almost-perfect place here.
Actually, all of you qualified Americans should move out here to our wonderful, down-under-land. I’m not joking, you will love it here. And we will love you too.
I agree ! … I would certainly encourage more Whites from the US to consider moving to either Australia or New Zealand. It is far more favorable for us than in North America.

If one of my white sons went “wigger” on me, here is what I would tell him: “Son, you will never be black no matter how hard you try. But, if you stay away from drugs and alcohol, work hard, practice self-discipline, have a little imagination, have a little courage, love a white woman and raise children with her – there is a chance you can be white.” Spread the word….
It is mind boggling that Tom Hanks, shitlib as he may be, spawned this piece of trash.
Hanks has always struck me as reasonably intelligent and possessing a certain level of class. The only answer I can think of is absenteeism as a father…which I imagine is the rule rather than exception with wealthy “jet set” celebrities.
I remember sitting in a dentist office years ago and reading a People magazine. There was an article in it where Tom Hanks took his son to a military surplus store for the 4th of July in order to buy some supplies. His son wanted a Confederate flag and Hanks said “No son, those were the losers.” Or something to that effect. I’m not sure if that was Chet or his other son, but it looks like it worked, or did it?
Zero credit to him. “White boy” is a black term at this point. He’s a race traitor wigger. That some leftists and blacks got butthurt over it is no big deal. The left is full of infighting. If anything it just serves as an example of white being white to blacks. Doesn’t matter if you worship them or actually breed with them. They still hate you.
This is a positive development.
Agreed
New Yorker writer Naomi Fry best expressed the chattering class’s thoughts on white boy summer.
I’d guess you’ve never spent any time at a Catskills country club surrounded at the pool with the Naomi Frys of this world, right? They’re so pathetic it’s hard to not look away when their engaging in their pathetic, self-aborbed pleas for attention, such as, “Gee, I stink.” Who the heck cares what Naomi has to say about anything?

White Boy Summer and Super Straight Meme are extremely popular with the zoomer crowd on twitter which is a positive white pill
