those of you out there criticizing Isaiah for his actions need to take a long look at his acting skills and maybe he just has a hard time saying the right thing. Believe me I have had my taste of saying the wrong thing and wondering why I said what I said or that it didin't come out like I meant. I mean, I am not famous (thank god) so don't tell me you have never had an oops moment. Isaiah has the bum luck of the whole nation hearing his mistake. Don't judge him for being human and see him for what he wants us all to see, his great role as the DR. that everyone looks up to. and he plays that part well.
If this guy was White, he would have been fired back in October.
So much for free speech. Hitler moved into Germany with the same pattern-attack anyone that speaks against them.
As soon as the free speech was stopped it was just a matter of time.
Other movements used the same pattern-look at the pro-abortion side. It's not murder, it a right to choose.
Gay is a right to choose-the same concept.
The destructive-ness of all of this is not considered.
That is how countries fall. It's a clear step-by-step blueprint.
People lose regard for right or wrong. Up becomes down, they don't know the difference.
What would have been the reaction had T.R.Knight called Isaiah Washington a 'nigger'? There's no difference in what Isaiah Washington did, but the reaction would have been HUGE in the African-American sector, had the situation been reversed. T.R. surely wouldn't have kept his position in the cast, had that happened. Why should Isaiah Washington be given preferential treatment because he is a so-called 'minority'? Cannot T.R. claim the same minority status? I believe Isaiah Washington MEANT to lie, and also meant to humiliate T.R. That is what the reaction of his work mates that night tells me. They were shocked and embarrassed, obviously. The full weight of disdain should come down on his shoulders, because, as a decent human being, he miserably failed, in front of millions of people. He knows that. It matters not what color his skin, he failed the 'decency factor' as a human being.

There are no excuses for this type of behavior. If you are an educated individual you should know better... He should be fired for being so insensitive, especially in an environment where diversity is embraced...not bashed.
Where is the Reverand Al now? Or is he only interested in protecting the civil rights of of African Americans? Aren't we all shocked that he has nothing to say in regards to T.R.'s right to not be discriminated against? Interesting isn't it!
The guy is out of the closet, a faggot can be a meat pie or a piece of wood thrown on the fire. We are all in kindergarten again and our feeling may get hurt if teacher like somes picture more than mine. Who really cares! Tell the meat pie to go jump in a fire and get over it. Political correctness has gone too far. In the effort not to offend people now cry foul before the person speaking has a chance to finish a sentence. Get real no one cares what one overpaid tv star said about another. If people are going to have alternative lifestyles then they must remember that everyone is not as progressive as they are.
People whoi live in glass houses should not throw stones.....yet again he is an A.American so they have to milk it until they see blood or the man has no career. Enough is enough!!!
There is a big difference between using the N word and the derogatory term for gays. Without slave labor, America would not be the super power it is today. Not saying that gays do not deserve their rights but there will always be something unnatural about homosexuality. Not everybody will be comfortable with seeing two men kissing. At least the gays are not being assembled and forced into unbearable situations against their will.

it seems when it comes to the 'n.....' word used, it continues to make long...long....air time..............so you are saying since it was an african american making this 'rude' comment we should just let it slide??? it was embarassing to his fellow cast members and i know his family for such an uncalled remark as this.....'wear the shoe of the other person' now 'he/they' know how it feels............maybe he might be trying to 'cover up' something of his own.........................it shows who has style and who does not.........no matter what gender/color and so forth....
