Always playing the Race card
It doesn't matter why you get in trouble it's always a racial thing.
This idiot pops out and calls a fag a fag and he's suprised he gets his butt canned in Hollywood. This is a town that is controlled by the Homosexuals and other degenerates. So he yells it had to be because he was black. Let's call a spade a spade he got fired because he pi55ed off the gay mafia that controls Hollywood and the media.
Why is it the blacks all claim racial discrimination if they stub their toe .

LOS ANGELES (AP) - "Grey's Anatomy" star Isaiah Washington said racism was a factor in his firing from the hit ABC series after he twice used an anti-gay slur.
Washington, who initially used the epithet during an onset clash with a co-star, told Newsweek magazine that "someone heard the booming voice of a black man and got really scared and that was the beginning of the end for me."
He tried to make amends by expressing remorse and volunteering to enter a counseling program to understand how the confrontation got out of hand, he told Newsweek.
"My mistake was believing that I would get the support from my network and all of my cast mates across the board. My mistake was believing I could correct a wrong with honesty and sincerity," he said in the interview posted online Thursday.
"My mistake was thinking black people get second chances. I was wrong on all fronts," he said.
His unwillingness to act like a submissive black at work was part of the problem, Washington said.
"Well, it didn't help me on the set that I was a black man who wasn't a mush-mouth Negro walking around with his head in his hands all the time. I didn't speak like I'd just left the plantation and that can be a problem for people sometime," he said.
"I had a person in human resources tell me after this thing played out that 'some people' were afraid of me around the studio. I asked her why, because I'm a 6-foot-1, black man with dark skin and who doesn't go around saying 'Yessah, massa sir' and 'No sir, massa' to everyone?
"It's nuts when your presence alone can just scare people, and that made me a prime candidate to take the heat in a dysfunctional family," he said.
ABC declined comment Thursday. In its one public statement regarding Washington, issued in January, the network said his actions were "unacceptable."
Washington, who used the slur against co-star T.R. Knight during a confrontation with Patrick Dempsey, repeated the word backstage at the Golden Globes in January in denying the first incident. A public apology to Knight and others followed.

Don't get me started...
One of my coworkers is always going on about how "there needs to be acknowledgement before we can move on."
Yeah, like a few hundred thousand dead white guys in the 1860's wasn't acknowledgement enough.
And to add more to this festering $#!thead's sense of entitlement, he is constantly, CONSTANTLY saying he'll do this or that, but he probably won't succeed because "the man" will screw him up.
Case in point: he paid someone to fix his computer and got ripped off. He got his computer back and it wasn't fixed.
Bummer, right?
Well, he goes on and on for about an hour about how he's going to call the cops to get his money back, but then concludes his entire speech with, "But look at me, they probably won't do anything."
Sometimes I just feel like telling him to get over his self-pitying, self-important sense of entitlement, shut up, and work for a living like the rest of us.

Sharpton, Jackson, and the rest of the people who speak for the Black
man have done an excellent job of creating a race of professional
victims here in the United States.0 -

you guys just be mad because you know he got fired only because whitey be intimidated by his superior blackness0 -
It appears the "Q" word trumps the "N" word. If one group can so demonize a simple word that it can't be uttered, why should anyone expect another group not to do the same?
My sympathy level for Isaiah Washington is low as I don't recall him going to bat for Kramer.
PC is an afront to it's supporters as well as it's detractors.0 -
I heard him say it was b/c he's black and I had to shut the tv off. It is f'n ridiculous how the race card comes out time and time again. I think they have nothing factual/intelligent to say, so, they run back to old faithful and blame it on race. 0 -
Good questions Dennis Smith.
The sympathy train in my mind ended a very very long time ago for all the "special" groups. First and foremost be Americans, then be proud of your heritage and what your ancestors lived through and thier history. Do not make a mockery of it and use it as a crutch in your life now.0 -
Jesse Jackson and Don King are starring in a special episode..Instead of Greys Anatomy.. it will be called Grey Area.. 0 -

Zip is the only one onboard who is close to Hollywood. Mabe he can provide some insight...
Oh, I doubt I'm the only one - probably the only one who has stood on both sides of the imaginary line (and I'm not even sure about that) but I'll talk about it when asked. ... actually, I did answer this thread and it was poofed a few minutes later - and for the record - it doesn't mean squat to me to be poofed. This ain't my house and I generally follow `house rules' or expect to suffer the consequences, like everyone else.
Short answer is, there is no major conspiracy about that I'm aware of ... I know somelower profile (bosses of the superstars) 'Hollywood types' and they are just like the rest of us - some pro-gun and some-anti-gun ... and most don't really give a ****, either way. I would go further to say that there are JUST as many Conservatives (and I posted a study about this a few weeks ago) in `the Hollywood group' as there are Liberals - probably more (reflecting the general population's turn out yesterday)!
If you haven't noticed by just living yet - Libs are MUCH more vocal that Conservatives - hence a reason for at least part of the label 'Conservative'. Any of this can be argued by the uninformed, as is it daily.
... then of course, there's the politics involved. Many who work for studio owners would rather not openly voice their opinions publicly ... loose lips can mean pink slips ... happens everywhere, all the time, in and out of the film industry. Since many of the larger - and smaller studios - are owned and/or run by Liberals ... do the math.
Finally, there are the 'stereotypers' - who we've seen daily - who don't think beyond their own stereotypical ideas and who spew out their same old tired trashy opinions because they think they are popular ... and in a small fishbowl environment, they are probably right ... falls under the `birds of a feather, flock together syndrome.' I see a LOT of that happening - instead of trying to be inclusive they do their darndest to be exclusive - they drive away a lot of folks who could help further 'the cause' - instead of educating the fence sitters, they'd rather plink them off as fast as they appear. I would venture to guess that a lot of new potential members here post a couple of times and head for the hills, never to be seen again - plinked soon after landing!
... just some reflections. Poof away.

Ya know, Mr. Washington was the victim in all of this.
And he had my undying support in the whole, stupid tale until he laid that joker on the table.
Damn I hate that.0
