Chicky,

Faggot is a derogatory term. Even if is his gay, and people use that word in private, you should never use it in a professional setting. I’ve seen women refer to each other as bitches and hoes when joking with their friends, but if I call one of my co-workers a bitch or a ho and other women are offened, I promise you I’ll be in the HR department getting some time of warning/write up.

To 148 aka Spikewebb:

That’s NOT what I said. I said people say things IN ANGER, everyone does.

I’m NOT going to defend him for being violent, that shit is just wrong. But, defend his right to say Faggot, yes, that IS the first amendment, FREE SPEECH.

Especially when it is SAID IN ANGER. People say horrible things they don’t really mean in anger. That’s because they’re not being rational.

Which is why I also defend Richards saying what he said. Again, he was pissed because the people he yelled Nigger at were harassing him. Richards reacted angrily.

I’m NOT saying it’s right, but IN ANGER people say some very dumb things. It’s not right that Isaiah said what he said, and not right that Richards said what he said.

However, NEITHER ONE was being rational when they said it, and again, there is the first amendment in America, which protects FREE SPEECH, which the Politically Correct people don’t want you to have.

Bill Said:

I’ve been thinking about this, looking at information on other websites (mediatakeout.com, perezhilton.com) and I have come to the conclusion that this is a publicity stunt designed to bring attention to the Show…

Think about it: If YOU decided to call a Gay Person on YOUR Job a Fag, they would call you down to Human Resources and tell you that they are sorry to inform you that your job has been downsized, effective immediatly, that they would like to conduct a Exit Interview with you, and they would like for security to escort you off of the premises…

Isaiah Washington has called, TR Rider, a Faggot, THEN he got into a fight with another cast member, alienated everyone on the set of Grey’s Anatomy, THEN when a reported asked Isaiah Washington about the statement that others said that he made he replys
“No, I did not call T.R. a faggot. Never happened, never happened.”….

According to PerezHilton.com (Perez Hilton must be the Gayest dude on the Internet Blog scene) Homo’s all over the country are LOSING THEIR MINDS,writing Letters to ABC, and 1000 word Blogs stating that they will use all of their resources (The Velvet Mafia) to Get Isaiah Thrown off the show….

If they Get David Geffen (the don of the Velvet Mafia) involved, then it’s a wash……

There is SO much attention being given this “incident”, the ratings will probably DOUBLE…..

So, Either Isaiah Washington is a Very dumb person Which I doubt Highly…..He has a Nation full of Queen Guys & gals hating him, hissing at him, and writing nasty blogs about him…I’m sure he feels real bad about that….
or
He and the Producers of this Show (Which I have NEVER watched, no do I intend to..It’s looks boring), came up with an elaborate scheme to increase viewership….

Dag, I must be bored because I just came up with an entire conspiracy theory…

Whatever…

Ay yo, Newage, you got maaaaad issues. Please go away.

Co-sign w/ Hood_Shit. You are on POINT!

First of all I think grey’s anotomy sucks dick and is a fucking lousy show like all the other medical shows. This whole homo craze in hollywood is a motherfucking disease that is being spread and society as a whole is accepting this shit. Now every fucking guy in hollywood is “gay” and proud to be. This is bad fucking shit man. how come these clowns were’nt “gay” when they were making all the millions off of the screaming females? (lance bass of nsync-motherfucking hypocrite). because he wanted to leech the women of all their money. it’s bullshit that he would have affected the group. he could have left and made up some other excuse if he did’nt want to “affect” the group. That is just one example of how this shit is spreading and it’s like now it’s socially accetable which is just showing the degradation of society. If homo’s have a problem with the word faggot what would they say if they were called cocksuckers? They could’nt deny it. And plus a homosexual is a term for someone who is gay so if they are called a homo why would they be offended because this is just a short form of the word that is used to describe them. The fact of the matter is that if gays have to “come out” it just proves that something is not right about being gay. if it was right why would you have to come out? Deep down gays know they are wrong but they choose to ignore their conscience. I just think this motherfucking homo craze should FUCK OFF. KEEP YOUR LIFESTYLE TO YOURSELF!!!NO ONE WANT’S TO HEAR THAT SHIT!!!! AND DON’T TRY TO ADOPT KIDS AND BRING YOUR WARPED VISION OF LIFE ON TO KIDS WHO WON’T KNOW ANY DIFFERENT BECAUSE THEY ARE KIDS FOR FUCK’S SAKE!!!!!!!AND A MOTHERFUCKING FUCK YOU GOES OUT TO UGLY ASS ELLEN DEGENERES AND FAT ASS HEART ATTACK FUCK WAITING TO HAPPEN ROSIE O’DONNELL.

#159 - you are the exact reason why gay and lesbians deny their homosexuality or keep it as quiet as possible for as long as they can.

the truth hurts isiah shud have sed no comment, and left well enough alone, him defending himself made matters worse, he feels guilty about something. like i sed no comment. katherine is right who cares if you sing ebony and ivory wat is that suppose to mean faggot is a harsh word at the awards since so many are i still say no comment

#159, your comments, while your opinion, are ignorant and close-minded. Our country was founded on principles that “all men are created equal”. The cast member did not deserve to be called a faggot, whether he is homosexual or not. Faggot is a derogatory term, to the same effect as nigger. And when you say that homosexuals should welcome the term homo because it is an abbreviation for homosexual, picture white people calling you Bro or Fro because you refer to yourself as a Brother or Afro-American. Give people the dignity that they are entitled to. Isaiah Washington was wrong for expressing his homophobic opinions and shouting derogatory slurs. If a white man is hounded for the use of the word nigger, why shouldn’t a straight man be hounded for the use of the word faggot?

And to #161, you say that “faggot is a harsh word at the awards since sso many are”. Do you realize that you just called homosexuals faggots? Let me teach you something that your parents may have reluctantly not. Homosexual individuals are entitled to the same rights and freedoms as any other member of this society. If you do not believe me, read the Bill of Rights. I am a gay male, yet I am not a faggot. I am a black male, yet I am not a nigger. You must learn to remove the associations that you have made in your mind between these stereotypes and groups of individuals. You must reach beyond popular culture and what is seen in the media. You must think for yourselves.

Mr. Washington is DEAD wrong. Who is his publicist? They need to be fired right along with him. It would be like Michael Richards during his apology saying the word “NIGGER” at the end of it. I truly believe he was out of line. Like most of you, I always want to supporty my black family, but he’s out there on his own. He caused embarrassment and pain to someone else, and that is never excuseable. When celebrity and success is given, you should treat is as an honor, not bring disgrace to those who support you. SHAME ON YOU MR. WASHINGTON.

#70 at Bill. That’s bullshit. No one was talking about Isiah Washington and his antigay slur anymore either. HE BROUGHT IT BACK UP. This antigay shit has got to cease.

these comments are cracking me up. ya’ll act like you were there when the original incident took place. at the very least we can say we don’t know what the story is. isaiah publicly said in front of his cast mates AND the world that he didn’t use the word “faggot”. shonda rhimes has not denied or confirned in the media. and ya’ll come on the boards spewing all sorts of condemnation on dude…”i know he said it, everyone heard him!!!” everyone who? you? your moms? your cousin’s uncle’s brother’s niece’s girlfriend that works on the set? lol. please calm the hell down. the truth is NONE of us know what happened. there are at least two different stories on this, so ya’ll need to back the hell down. peace

#165

This is what’s confusing me: when all of this FIRST happened, Isaiah Washington admitted through a statement that it happened. He called it an “unfortunate choice of wording” if I remember correctly. NOW’s he’s saying that he didn’t say it.

We don’t need to have been there. Isaiah’s own actions in the press, coupled with the fact that his own castmates are so willfully and vocally against him, don’t make him seem credible in the least.

@66 “unfortunate choice of wording” is not the same as “yes, i did call t.r. knight a faggot.” there seems to be doubt about what was actually said. and unlike the michael richards case, there is no video or audio to confirm.

i meant comments @ 166.

167

yes it is. he told on himself. And just liek the R.kelly case I didnt need to see the kiddy porn tape to know that R. Kelly was guilty. I made the descision aftr hearign twhat the people around him and he had to say about it, They asked him if it was him in the tape or not. His response was Ive done soem things in the past that Im not proud of”

everybdoy in that cast said they heard him say it T.R. said he heard him say it, now he needs to be dealt with, as a black man he should know better then to be handing out slurrs like candy on halloween. on top of this dude having a HISTORY of on set bull shit.

Well here is the rest of Isaiah Washington interview with Access Hollywood from Globe Night . I feel no one even gives him the benefit of the doubt. They “decided” to air the rest 3 days late. I understand if people are mad if he called someone a Fa99ot, it’s wrong. But the dumbest thing I ever heard is people being angry about him saying fa88ot to say he did not say fa99ot.

This is the first time he talked it on camera.

Here’s the Video

http://video.accesshollyw...om/player.html?dlid=56534

well, on tmz.com isaiah has now apologized for the GG incident. here’s the link: http://www.tmz.com/2007/0...ys-comment-marred-globes/

notice the wording. he’s not admitting he called T.R. a faggot in the first place. he probably didn’t and is just trying to do damage control for the GG incident. well, good for him for searching his soul. now maybe all the crucifiers will STFU. likely not.

I still can’t understand why people are angry that the man said “faggot” to describe what he claims he did not say. I have no problem with such words being used in that context…YES, including the word nigger. I actually think it’s important for us to use the actual word in that kind of situation so that we don’t pretend they are other than what they are. All this PC mess takes away from properly addressing the underlying issue. It’s not the words themselves, it’s the meaning attached. Faggot is what it is. Nigger is what it is. There is power in words and we cannot hide from that.

Here’s the latest - reported by Associated Press

Apology aimed at healing ‘Grey’s Anatomy’

POSTED: 8:36 p.m. EST, January 18, 2007

Actor Isaiah Washington apologizes for using anti-gay slur

LOS ANGELES, California (AP) — The heated controversy at ABC’s top show, “Grey’s Anatomy,” boiled over Thursday as the network rebuked co-star Isaiah Washington for an anti-gay comment and Washington issued a lengthy apology.

“We are greatly dismayed that Mr. Washington chose to use such inappropriate language at the Golden Globes, language that he himself deemed `unfortunate’ in his previous public apology,” the network said in a statement.

“His actions are unacceptable and are being addressed,” the statement concluded.

During a backstage interview Monday at the Globes gala, Washington denied involvement in a heated on-set incident in October during which an anti-gay remark was reportedly uttered.

“No, I did not call (co-star) T.R. (Knight) a faggot,” Washington told reporters. “Never happened, never happened.”

In his apology Thursday, Washington acknowledged “repeating the word Monday night.”

“I apologize to T.R., my colleagues, the fans of the show and especially the lesbian and gay community for using a word that is unacceptable in any context or circumstance. I marred what should have been a perfect night for everyone who works on `Grey’s Anatomy.’ I can neither defend nor explain my behavior. I can also no longer deny to myself that there are issues I obviously need to examine within my own soul, and I’ve asked for help.”

ABC said in its statement it has “a longstanding policy to maintain respectful workplaces” for its employees, adding that the network had “dealt with the original situation in October, and thought the issue resolved.”

Thursday’s events followed a critical statement Wednesday from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. Neil Giuliano, GLAAD president, said he had contacted Washington’s representatives in hopes of meeting the actor to discuss “the destructive impact of these kinds of anti-gay slurs.”

“Washington’s repeated use of it on-set and in the media is simply inexcusable,” Giuliano said in the statement.

Washington said on Thursday that he welcomes the chance to meet with gay and lesbian community leaders “to apologize in person and to talk about what I can do to heal the wounds I’ve opened.”

“I know a mere apology will not end this, and I intend to let my future actions prove my sincerity,” Washington said.

Knight, who said soon after the October fracas that he is gay, appeared on Tuesday’s taping of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” to discuss the original incident and Washington’s recent comments.

“He referred to me as a faggot,” Knight said of the October incident. “Everyone heard it.”

“Grey’s Anatomy,” now in its third season, won the Golden Globe for best television drama. It regularly finishes at or near the top of the Nielsen rankings.

Why does T.R. sound like a little kid on the playground? Mommy he called me a faggot.

Dear Readers:

Please understand that I am a black female with enough education and common sense to live in a CIVILIZED society! Not because I speak proper English, use correct grammar and try my best to be TOLERANT of ALL people, it doesn’t make me white or anything else.. I am a human being where racial prejudice has been used against me, and perhaps I know just how isolated and hurt TR Knight feels to be singled out by a verbal BULLY!!

Let’s get this straight, The NAACP has nothing to do with this. This issue is about Isaiah Washington, the Actor/Public Figure has nothing to do with being black but based on the hateful and ignorant comments he made about his cast-mate.

GLAAD is demanding an apology just as the NAACP/Jesse Jasckson/Al Sharpton demanded that KKKRAMER give a donation and apologize.

The problem with Isaiah is that he made the mistake once. But to bring back the issue on a night that was so IMPORTANT for Shonda Rhimes was just disgusting and EMBARASSING!!

People just don’t get it!! I am not condoning gay lifestyle, but people have a right to live their own lives. That is why we live in the U.S. of A.! It is not of Isaiah’s business who TR Knight is dating!

Pedophilia is not a gay problem, believe it or not 95% of pedophiles are not GAY!! Pedophiles use their perversion to CONTROL children. Pedophiliac derives sexual excitement through the physical contact with children. Male or female..

I excused Isaiah’s behavior when the situation first happened. He said it was a misunderstanding, and I took it as that.
But To use MLK’s day to be an IGNORAMUS, I am not so forgiving. Not to mention, Isaiah choked another cast-mate.. That is downright unacceptable.

Why can’t you all be fair, especially when you would want the same treatment from their peers?

Isaiah,

Keep your head up dog. You called him on his BS for being late to work, which is un-professional on any level. So now they comparing you to KKKramer!?!?! PLEASE???? So you mean to tell me they are firing people for calling someone a cocksucker and not firing someone for being a cocksucker????
Damn……Brotha’s got it bad in Hollywood.

Isaiah really seems like the type of guy who would get extremely angry and say something that horrible. I think he said it because everyone would lie about it if he didn’t and he’s trying to cover it up by lying. He had a good thing going and now he is messing it up and jeopardizing his career on grey’s.

BLAH BLAH TWO HOMOSHOWS!

@172 hereitgoes, people are not outraged just at the fact that he repeated the word, but in the way he did it. If you watched the video, or clip you would see that something was very “off” about Washington the whole night, and when he said “I did not call T.R. Night a faggot.” He had a rather sarcastic demeanor about him, just fueling the fire.

KRAMER KRAMER KRAMER ! ! !

I agree with 3 and 41
Michael the racist Richards seems to be getting less heat. Using a gay slur is not right but didn’t he apologize already?? Don’t let a a brother mess up boy, I’ll tell ya….

You know, Hollywood hasn’t made it easy for African-Americans to really be able to showcase our skills. Most of the time we are being typcast as whores,pimps, and dirty cops and winning awards for it.

Mr. Washington should know better, and yet, he still has not learned his lesson. With a history of outbursts on different sets he has worked on. They will let him go, for sure. And it will be hard for him to get another part again for sure.

Why wasn’t there the same outrage when Davis (the gay guy) from the Real World called one of his roommates the n-word? MTV didn’t even bleep it out.

okay somebody is definitely lying, please go to youtube and view “T R Knight (of Greys Anatomy) responds to slur” he is on Ellen saying Isaiah definitely called him that and he doesnt know what to say about him stating at a press conference that it didnt happen, that’s bananas….

I believe that Isaiah has the right to his opinion, if he feels that homosexuality is wrong that his opinion, I feel the same way about it, any lifestyle that people try to justify and promote all the time something must be wrong with it. Rememeber that only people from the opposite can produce a life. I hope those gay folks get the picture. Too often people of celebrity status are force to apologise for their opinions and how they really feel about certain issuses.

As much as I say the word, if I was a actor I would know to keep my mouth shut.

isaiah is an idiot. shonda is a great writer/director. she defended his dumb azz and how does he repay her? by acting the fool. what a nutcase.

also, if any of us did what he did on our jobs, you know security would’ve escortd us out the door with a quickness. and we’d be out of a job. normal people in normal jobs don’t act that that cavalier about calling people offensive names.

@ # 162 you voice your opinion now let me voice mind. dont you dare tell me nothin ok you a fuckin faggot. now i was tryna be nice. you suck dick mofo you a faggot, you preferr men over women and you a man, you a faggot Jesus made adam and eve. not adam and steve now learn yo shit. no need to respond cause i aint comn back to check. case close dick sucker lolololololololololollo

Hey Jah T, his opinion isn’t in question. How hard is that to understand? He used it in the work place and in the work place, your opinions are to be kept to yourself. Period, end of story.

Okay so he called ol’ boy a faggot. That was a few months ago right. Get over it! This whole thing is getting too blown out of proportion and is getting old.

@176

See here’s the thing that you so obviously don’t understand, TR CANNOT be fired for what he does in his personal life. He’s not coming to work and sucking dick on the set. Why is it so hard for you to get past your hatred of gays and see the real issue? A lot of people seem to think Isaiah’s behaviour is ok cause they disapprove of being gay, but your opinion doesn’t trump work politics. If that is how you honestly think….you really must not have a job, because your ass would be fired ASAP. Whether it’s the word nigger or the word faggot, it’s hate speech in the eyes of your employer.

I feel like if his co-stars [like Katherine] start sayin shit like, “he shouldn’t speak in public at all right now.” That he must of said something. I don’t know. I’m pretty sure its only a matter of time before they cut him off of Grey’s … hell, I don’t really watch that show anyways.

Miss Nee (#190) is 100% right–bottom line is, any employer today is going to break their neck to maintain a hostile free work environment–you have to to avoid costly lawsuits and settlements–you should because it is the decent thing to do. I work in Human Resources and trust me, any company today would be escorting Mr. Washington to the front door, with a packed box in hand. And Shonda will soon be doing the same for Isaiah too. And she should–this fool is not worth jeopardizing the continued success of the show. He has put her in a very difficult position but when it comes down to it, she will write him off because it’s all about business and the ratings will suffer. It will be very easy to do because his character is already suffering from an injury. The sad thing to me is that he hurt, I mean really hurt another person and he didn’t even care. He extended an apology that he obviously didn’t mean, only to injure this same man once again. And sadly, the only reason he is now apologizing (AGAIN)is because someone’s told him that he’s really screwed up this time and could lose his job. And rightly, he should.

I think this whole thing is halarious! They love punishing the black celebs over the smallest stuff.

They need to leave Isaiah alone. Again Hollywood and white folks show us that when you speak your mind your done. He should have known that fags run hollywood and that if your going to say something about them say it at your house among your folks . You know how they do when we not around. ( remember Texaco) Isaiah Keep your head up and start looking for a regular Job because ther’s know way there going to let you in a movie or anything now fags run deep in
Jollywood

WOW-WOW-WOW. In response to #102, I didn’t realzie the CL blog was a place where people were allowed to blog hatred. Not too worry though, I’ll head over to Perez for my gossip now. Truly unfortunate, I actually like this blog, but not if people like #102 are allowed to spout sh*t like that.
