Well I’ve been told that the word faggot is just as offensive as the word nigger in the gay realm, and the fact that he keeps bringing it up suggest to me that his job is in jeopardy.

Also why the hell does he keep denying anything happened if the co-stars of the show are going public saying it did? He NEEDS to do just as ole girl said and keep his trap shut. He’s making himself look even more like a fool.

And BTW…saying he kisses Patrick Dempsey and sings Ebony & Ivory is the ultimate tap dance for white people. Isaiah..what’s up with that statement????

Isaiah Washington has a bad rep. He seems he has made a lot of mistakes in his career!

Something similar happened on the set of “Soulfood”. This is very sad b/c he is so talented!

I think he should be fired.

In trying to defend himself, he insulted T.R. Knight again! He needs some media training. He obviously doesn’t know how to handle tough questions.

49) R&B 4 LIFE

are you high? how has what you are talkin about got to do with the issue at hand?

58)Bruno

i 1000000000000% completely agree with you. i so loved his character, the best heart surgeon in the country, now all i can see is a homophobe.

he better shut up. the most annoying part is that he is so good acting wise. he wants to waste that talent over anger.

He was wrong for saying the slur, but I can’t help but wonder if he was a white guy and said the same thing would it have been all over the news or would they have found a way to “keep it in the family”?(Just amongst the cast and crew)

*Holding up black fist for #58’s comment* PREACH!

What is wrong with that dude???

Does he realize that he is on one of the most liked shows in the country and that its pretty much a presentation of how we as a nation can be together without any care of race and nationality. But all Isaiah wants to do is make a damn fool of himself and pretty much ruin the show completely. Shondra needs to give him half a paycheck or somethin because he needs to sit his ass down in the corner and stop actin a damn fool. Isaiah you’ve already made it big time so go take a prozac and just remember your lines cause when I saw that video I was shocked he would actually say it in front of the whole cast he couldn’tve just said “he didn’t say that?”

i don’t need to write a whole paragraph…its plain and simple

HE NEEDS TO SHUT THE F**K UP BEFORE HE’S UNEMPLOYED!!

you see how tom cruise got the ax for acting a fool..jumping on couches and being a constant scientology expert.

SHUT THE F**K ISIAH AND STICK TO THE SCRIPT!

It’s just that Isaiah is representing black folks on ABC so he is making us seem even more homophobic than we are now. He needs to realize that the white media will find anything and everything against you to defame your name and when you keep acting crazy then you give them what they want, and we don’t want you off the show we just want you to stop acting out.

*Holding up black fist for #83’s comment* PREACH!

At #58 I dont even need to read the rest of these comments because you summed it up perfectly. All of your points are valid and true.

If this thing doesnt die down expect for Isaiah’s character to be killed off or something in order to appease the shows fans because he has really made himself out to be the villain in this issue.

So true @ Bill… so true!

Well the reporter asked and he answered. I saw the whole clip. Reporter asked about using a slur and Washington has a right to say he did not say it. If I did not say I would say I didn’t. Would people feel better if he said I did not say the F-Word instead of faggot. Come on now.. T.R has been on Ellen and People. This was the FIRST time IW said ANYTHING on Camera and he is running around bringig it up? I don’t think so.

Thanks guys for the props on my comment.

I’m just saying man it’s insulting to us all when one of our own gets a great opportunity and fucks it up in front of America. He is so lucky to be on a #1 show. So lucky. You know how many brilliant aspiring actors are waiting tables at “The Cheesecake Factory” while this fool is acting a mess? It’s not fair.

I was equally pissed at Michelle Rodriguez. Here is a woman who was hand picked to appear on a mega hit show “Lost” and what does she do? Drinks and Drives and violates her probation. Why?

Then instead of admitting being wrong she lied and said her appearance was only going to be for one season. Bullshit. They don’t make you a series regular, only to kill you off 12 episodes later. And it was curious that her and the chick she got caught drunk driving with both got killed in the same episode. Don’t tell me that was all planned.

Bottom line, Minority actors need to really preserve what they are blessed to get. The opportunities for Minority actors to appear on hit shows are very very rare. Ask any of the people who work on the CW Monday Night comedy block, I’m sure many of them would kill to be on a show that reaches 25 million viewers a week like Grey’s.

Speaking of ratings, this is off topic, but how does American Idol NOT fall off? 37.7 million viewers at 8, then 41 million viewers at 9? That right there are some Superbowl numbers. Crazy!

Isaiah Washington wants to put himself in that realm of homosexuality but then lacks the discipline to not speak against it. You can’t bite the hand that feeds you. Hello, the “fags” run Hollywood and the government. He had the nerve to be a black man that called a caucasian “faggot” a “faggot” and then on top of that to choke “Dr. McDreamy”, the new Hollywood TV “sex symbol”, lol. I said when this issue first came up that it wasn’t over and it isn’t. It’s just getting started. After he gets written out of this show (eventually) he will never get another prime time telvision role again. He’s like a dead man walking. The man is so finished that he panders to that clown, Patrick Dempsey and sings “Ebony and Ivory” every day, lol. How pathetic. Isaiah could sing it TO Patrick Dempsey 2x a day and Dempsey still won’t forget his black ass picking him up off the ground like Darth Vader. Dempsey is just killing him with kindness because the producers have probably spoken with him behind the scenes and promised him that the “nigger” would go eventually. I gurantee you, had Dempsey said something about blacks (especially black men) black people would’ve forgiven him and the cast would’ve supported him, lol. Katherine Heigl speaking against him like that tells me that she feels like he’s fortunate to still be on the show so the only time he should be speaking is if it’s according to a script. Whether he’s lying or not is inconsequential because he’s finished anyway. It probably burns her to have to see that negro on the set everyday after he dared to speak a “homosexual slur”. Especially since homosexuals are such paragons of virtue, lmao. Imagine her doing that to Patrick Dempsey. She probably would’ve denied that the situation ever occurred or maybe coordinated an apology on David Letterman.

Like #12 said, he’s probably a homo his damn self. Most of these black men in entertainment allow themselves to get turned out so he gets what he deserves. If you’re gonna call someone or something out, be a man and stand up for what you believe in. When someone folds up like he’s doing, it makes even people that would like to support him doubt his credibility. He might as well acknowledge what he said, he’s a goner regardless.

@#58

You said it’s not a black and white issue but then you said it’s difficult for black men to land roles like the one Isaiah Washington landed, lol.

It is difficult for brothers to land a role like Isaiah landed, which is why I am puzzled as to why he is so intent on losing the damm role.

Seems like there is a petition to get him fired from Grey’s Anatomy, according to another gossip site. Sit tight…I expect more to come from this…

i just wish this brother would get a proper hair cut. he’s a dope actor though but please cut it out with the ebony and ivory song. lol that’s so “gay”.

He looks vicious. White folks will gang up on you for being negative to anybody and he should have known that.

i think that the guy made a mistake, he apologized so let’s move on. shall we. seriously people, idon’t think it is that big of a deal if he said he was sorry and the people directly involved forgave him

Nobody has mentioned that after IW said that Rhimes said some of the stuff written was inaccurate. She did not say he was lying, it sounds like he did not say faggot.

and to add to my comment. i think he repeated the word because one reporter ask him about it. so to me he was just answering a question.

Isaiah is a big fat liar. Knight confirmed that he did call him a faggot on Ellen.
It’s up on YouTube now.
http://www.youtube.com/wa...h?v=Y1ppZ66sDX0&eurl=
Anyone who defends Isaiah is just stupid. He deserves all the flack he’s getting. He straight up lied!!!

honestly, we were very angered by kramer’s comments about black people and wanted more than just an apology. bigotry shouldn’t be accepted an any form. he should own up to his comments and offer an appropriate apology and NOT back out of his comments as though he did not make them when confronted.

I don’t know what “really” happened in this situation. But I think Isaiah better watch it. He can be replaced. Shonda Rhimes did not work this hard and get this far to let someone ruin it.

Also, it sounds to me like there is more to this story than this. Isaiah sounds like he is bitter or resentful about something. I don’t know what it is, but he better deal with it before he finds himself UNEMPLOYED!!!!

Well I can’t watch Grey’s anymore. NOT because Isaiah called dude out but because now that I know dude is gay, it’s hard to see him as a love interest with the Latina sister. dude is the one who should have kept his trap shut. Nobody needed to know about his personal life. It’s called “No comment.”

And leave it to black folks to care about keeping massa’s job at any cost. “Ooh, Isaihs’ bettas shut his mouf befo massa gets reals mad.” Lol.

#70, he cares because that word applied to him.

Why are people over-accepting of gays, this is the only way I know to say it…its like people have to be pro-gay, because if they are not they are hateful. I just want to say that I think it is immoral. People will think that is the most horrible thing to say, or people in charge of internet blogs may want to edit it. Why is it ok to say that you don’t see anything wrong with being gay, but its frowned up if you think it is wrong? I think part of the reason some gay people get upset if someone calls them on it is because they know in the back of their mind that it is not natural. (no animal arguments prove it is, even if two male birds were together, its still unnatural). I said this once and I will say it again: I’m sure the world would be a better place if all men were gay. This is definitely a sign of the times, in the last days, men will burn with desire for other men, and the dark ages begin again…

I will officially have to stop viewing this site because of an anti-Christ advertisement displayed here. God Bless Gaymerica!

OK, ISAIH WASHINGTON IS BEGGING TO BE BLACK BALLED.

GAY MEN RUN HOLLYWOOD ON THE LOW.

HE REALLY THINKS HE’S BEING SMART AND FUNNY BUT HE’S PLAYING WITH FIRE.

HE NEED TO BE ASHMED OF HIMSELF TYRNA INTIMIDATE THAT LIL MAN LIKE THAT .

SOMETIMES, YOU JUST GOTTA PICK YA BATTLES WISELY.

BUT HE’LL BE OK

UPS IS ALWAYS HIRING.

if they are over it, everyone else should move on too

Isaiah doesn’t have to be accepting of homosexuality, but it’s common sense not to use derogatory terms to refer to another person, especially in a professional environment. I think Shondra wanted to stick by him…her initial response to the controversy was something along the lines of wanting to keep it “in house” and have it remain a “family matter.” She stood up for him. He’s a brilliant actor and should have had enough common sense to simply say that the issue had been resolved and leave it at not. He definitely shouldn’t have lied about it! He is a very good actor, I would hate to see him lose his job. Grey’s is a blessing, it’s a great show and a sista is behind it. He needs to just ride the gravy train and keep cool.

I think people are forgetting that in addition to yelling out a slur (it was not a quiet conversation), he physically attacked a costar that day. He’s apparently making everyone on the set uncomfortable. I wouldn’t want to work with a coworker like that. It has nothing to do with making YT happy or being over-accepting. It’s about respect and common courtesy. To top it all off, he’s lying about it to the public. Why can’t he learn to say “no comment” and let the incident die?

So you’re saying it’s ok to be a bigot as long as the Bible speaks against it?

Good grief. The only thing I can say is that gays are PEOPLE first and foremost. I would accept help from a gay person and give assistance to one if they needed help. As a Christian you would go to hell for turning your back on a fellow man because you’ve cast judgement upon him, and that isn’t your place. People should be able to live their lives without scrutiny, and it amazes me how we as Blacks love to bash homos when less than 60 years ago they would be allowed in the front door, given opportunities, and treated with respect while we were kicked, hosed, hung and murdered for being “different”. Funny thing…most places would still take a gay white man over a straight black one anyday.

He’s the worst character in the show anywayz.

I like to stick up for my people when I feel the need to, but I can’t even stick up for Isaiah on this one…Simply put, he was wrong and out of line. I wasn’t there, but I really think that he called T.R. Knight a faggot. T.R. was on the Ellen show and he explained what happened. He seemed pretty shaken up… Why can’t we just all get along? I know that a lot of people don’t agree with homosexuality, but that’s no reason to disrespect someone by calling them a faggot. This fool is messing it up for all Black people. He’s gonna mess around and lose his job because of his ignorance.

they showed t.r knight’s face after isaih made the comment, and he seemed to be very uncomfortable and irritated. so at the end of the day, the comment was surely not needed.

#101

THAT’S HOW THEY DO IT IN HOLLYWOOD-

HE DONT WANNA GET HIS ASS BEAT DOWN AND BLACK BALLED BY THE VELVET MAFIA-

IF HE DONT KNOW ABOUT THEM, HE’S CRAZY

THEY DO EXIST

HE COULD DO HIMSELF A FAVOR AND KEEP HIS OPINIONS AND THOUGHTS TO HIMSELF

im soooooo lost…whats the big deal???like why is this really in the news???

he said it, it was wrong, and the right thing to do will be to let him go. i love him and i love GA, but in any professional environment, slurs like that are unacceptable. it has obviously made the whole cast uncomfortable so he needs to go (i’m crying as i type this because i LOVE GA and i love his character).

I think his response was in bad taste. If the word is so vile, you wouldn’t want to repeat it.

I have never watched Grey’s Anatomy. I heard all of these wonderful things about the characters such as the diversity and how the roles do not perpetuate stereotypes.

It makes the alleged incident quite ironic.

Co sign with #58, #74, and #84.

#100 I think you are very close minded.

And 105, 106, 107

he should’ve never said the word “faggot.” It is very disrespectful to say that. I know he said he didn’t call that other guy a “faggot” but he could’ve said something else like “No I didn’t say that offensive word to my fellow castmate…” or something like that.

when I was younger everybody i know used faggot for like other reasons other than being gay..im just saying.i say get over it.its not that serious.i know as a christian you not suppose to turn your back on people but the Lord did say he does not like homosexuals.

I have no respect for this guy. He seemed like a decent guy until this incident.

He should have apologized or just let the incident die. Forget it, a grown man…….he should have apologized to T.R. as least.

At least kkkramer had the puffs to apologize.

This is will NEVER die. Gays never like to forgive & forget. Okay maybe forgive, but to forget? I dont think so.

STFU # 101 massa just so happens to be a Black Woman in this case. If a lot of you took the time to fully learn the facts on this issue you wouldnt be making some of the comments you are making.

I AGREE WITH #102…..AND WHITE PEOPLE, GET OVER IT. YALL CALL US NIGGERS EVERY FUCKING DAY! WE DON’T GO AROUNG CALLING YALL HONKIES AND SHIT!

SO WHAT HE SAID FAGGOT, HE WAS ACCUSED OF SAYING IT ANYWAY!

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS!

I’M F’N SICK OF IT.

Look Isaiah has the RIGHT, when he’s pissed (!) so say something LIKE THAT in anger. HE DOES. F THE PC POLICE!

And, conversely, Michael Richards HAS THE RIGHT AS WELL.

The boat rocks both ways.

I’m MORE SICK of the PC police like his Co-Star! WAS THAT NECESSARY OF HER? NO!

who gives a dayum!!!!!!!!!! there are more important issues than this.

Isaiah needs to STFU. He didn’t even have to say that word. How did he actually think people would take it, especially gay people? Did he think the gay cast member was going to laugh it off and pat him on the back or something. It was really unnecessary for him to go there. I think he’s was just taking a cheap shot. That’s like saying the “N word” in front of a black person. He seems like an ass.

The amount of stupidity in here never ceases to amaze me.
You either got the people blaming white people for everything as usual or you got the crazy people who can’t even write a sentence in correct english sounding like they’re mentally challenged. I love Concreteloop.

I think there are two sides are THREE SIDES to this story. Is this the end of the fucking world? I mean seriously that homosexual TR Knight does NOT get my sympathy. He’s making it seem like as though Isaiah is going to kill him or something. He called him a bad word and he did apologize. Enough is enough they all need to move on.

1. Isaiah should just SHUT THE FUCK UP!! SHUT UP BROTHER! Shonda Rhimes is a good sister she SAVED his black ass the first time. I think that he should just keep quiet.

2. I believe Heigl and Knight have a vendetta against Washington its obvious they don’t like him. And I think its tacky of Knight to go on that white lesbian show Degeneres and cry about being a homosexual. I mean no one put a gun to Knight’s head to tell the world he was a gay. So I believe Knight and Heigl are at fault for BLOWING UP the situation and CREATING MORE DRAMA.

3. The media is RACIST. They are trying to make Isaiah look like the ANGRY HOMOPHOBIC BLACK MAN. Don’t people get it? Those WHITE HOMOSEXUALS so many of them are VERY ANTI BLACK. By the way they are all calling Isaiah a Nigger all over the web. That on TMZ.COM has comments on the board and people are so racist. SO the people supporting Knight should know the gay community are a bunch of racist hypocrites.

4. Some people are attacking Shonda on the web not on this site. I am proud of Shonda for supporting Isaiah. She has KNOWN him for a LONG TIME PRIOR to Grey’s Anatomy. I applaud her for having his back. Because I know if she wasn’t his boss they would of had him fired.

They will be getting rid of his black a$$ shortly.

Yes Isaiah needs to stop speaking in public. If he is an a**hole, he’s an a**hole. He is grown, I guess that’s just who is. But it seemed kind of odd that the gay boy went to Ellen crying about it. What was the point? So the show’s fans can dislike him even more?

His ass is going to get fired!!!!!!!!

Damn there are allot of new people on this site.

I know a LOT of GAY Black people who are VERY offended.

EFF IT! NEXT!!. . . . lol @ 131. . .yeh i know. .include me hahaha. how do you put avatars up . . .i wanna put one up.

#131 Right like SWMNBN Dress and Justin’s joke about Prince right. Let’s talk about htose things instead of someone using a slur.

who cares….i think isaiah is just one of those people who often comes across the wrong way. sometimes black men can be intimidating to little white co-stars. when i saw it, I saw it as him trying to make light of the matter. As in ha-ha we are over it. But they seem to upset all over again.

The ‘Ebony and Ivory’ thing was pure sarcasm and totaly unnecessary…please Isaiah gorw up…oh the word faggot, caries the same degrading meaning as nigger i.e other gay people can use it towards each other but coming from a straight guy , its offensive, (unless Isaiah is in a mega-star closet)

people in order for us to become better black man and women, we should stop playing the race card or blaming the system, but realise that some of our own people mess up and expect to be treated like victims, and Hollywood is a dog-eat-dog world even for white people, so its not about Isaiah’s skin, he must just grow up and realise he’s in a fierce industry where your temper-tuntrums, and your angry-black-man attitude wont get you anywhere (oh and by the way, there might even be an agenda to get him out…just askyourself WHY…interesting because he’s not the only black face on tv…so just stop justifying his stupid actions maybe advice him on the best manger management course to attend…Damn he’s not even all that to think that MAYBE he can pick and chose roles..

I saw T.R. knight on ellen he looked mad hurt he ddint even want to say the word faggot . what it comes down to is just degrading a human being with a word and it just isnt right. I beleive isaiah is just probably an asshole with a big ass mouth is what the problem is.

He’s a goner. Shonda won’t be able to save him.Too bad they’ll probably blacklist him and he’ll never work again.

I love Isiah and his ignorant ass…and the show

int he kin of bring this on himself though, I mean the most amaging part of all of this is that he has a history of doing it. I mean fights on the set sexual harrasssment derogatory slurrs, would you want to work with somebody like that. I mean how much support does this man deserve really?

Andrea, you’re straight up retarded! Where the hell did you get your facts from? Most homosexuals are not anti black. Sure some could be, but that doesn’t mean all of them. You come off as retarded, but I don’t think everyone is retarded because you seem to be. Stop stereotyping.

I. Washington always gave me the jerk vibe… and then I learned that he was an ex military man and was simply reserved and private and married to a true “Sista-girl”.

I’ll say this much, if I. Washington called him a faggot in front of the cast, how was he outting him? hey all knew he was gay. Whoever leaked the details from the set outted him.

What makes me truely skeptical about the entire incident and more curious of T.R Knight “hamming” up the special attention in hi s coming out period is tha T.R Knight himself admitted that he did NOT hear Isaiah Washington personally call him a faggot. Someone on the set relayed that information to him. and I have yet to hear someone come forward and say they actually heared him say it.

The man said publically that he did not do it, I can appreciate that comment (especially considering his entire cast was standing there) and say fuck the attention hams, which one of them are willing to say they actually heared him say it?

Who exactly watches Grey’s Anatomy ??
Is this show a popular TV Series ???
I’ve never seen it..
It’s seems to be popular with the ladies here on CL

I’m biased of course..
The Only TV Program that I care about is the Soprano’s on A&E and that other TV’s series on A&E called “Dog, The Bounty Hunter”..Now, That’s my show !!!

Other than that, I don’t watch TV…
I rather read a good book or watch a DVD Movie…..

okay new age prep enough already with the “outing” and tranny accusations you manage to drag up with every post!!

Bill (how you doing), Millions on top of millions tune in faithfully on Thusday nights to watch the very versatile cast of G.A. The best part is that a primetime show with this type of award-winning, faithful following, highly rated success is created by a very smart black woman. Grey’s is considered a milestone in television culture. I hope thses ignorant, big-headed actors don’t fuck it up for my girl Shonda Rhimes (creator).

Good Morning oliand1.

I googled “grey’s anatomy”, went over to the show’s website, and watched a clip of what will be shown on tonight’s show..
http://abc.go.com/primetime/greysanatomy/index

As I suspected, I wasn’t impressed..

It seems like a show that woman would like (no offense)..

A Very involved Plot, and you have to be invested in gettting to know the characters…..

I wouldn’t be able to sit still and watch this show for an hour….It looks very involved…There’s probably a lot of people dating, and getting in touch with their feelings..

no offense
that’s just my opinion

I saw TR on Ellen yesterday and he looks soooooo victimish. The bottom line is he is gay and they call gay’s the f-word, and for anyone to say that they have never used it is lying to themselves. In fact those that are complaining the most are probably the ones saying it the most. The f-word is defined in Websters as a male homosexual, and if I am not mistatken didn’t TR say that he was homosexual and the last I looked her is a man.

I think he is mad that they will have to go a whole different direction with his character and the girl. It ws a nice story before we found out he was gay.

#118 I think you need a refresher class in Bible study; the Lord may consider homosexuality a sin and he hates the sin, not the sinner; the Lord loves ALL people. And #123; what you’re saying is people can say ANYTHING offensive to anybody at anytime? Sure, sometimes being PC goes a little too far but you need to use common sense and be respectful of people’s feelings when using certain words.
