Sharpton can't get involved right now, isn't he busy with the Paris case?
I think he was getting a $400 hair wave with John Edwards and couldn't get involved
maybe it is time for his 3000 mile flush and fill.
I just like to rile up the African-Americans! 'Theys so easy to get riled up!'
Remember, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and everyone thinks everyone else's stinks!
Kumiko Lee is a real piece of work! With a name like that your eyes are surely slanted - so who are you to be so racist!
Personally, I was offended when Washington concealed his true beliefs that homosexuality is repugnant. I realize that he capitulated because he wanted to save his job and career, but at some point one has to stand up for what one believes regardless of the consequences.
Why would a man desire another man over a woman. If this is not unnatural and sick, I do not know what is. It is abnormal and no amount of gay programming will change that fact.
100% correct
Ben,
When was the last time you saw a piece on the TV news about a destitute Asian-American family with 5 kids requesting public assistance versus seeing a destitute African-American family with 5 kids requesting public assistance? Hmm?
We Asians work HARD, teach our children to read and study and, occasionally, get tired of being called racist because we complain about people of other ethnic backgrounds who complain, whine, fight and break windows at 3:00 AM for lack of anything better to do.
Thank You White Republican I couldn't of said it Better. I wish that we all would remember that God gave his only begotten son, so that we could have everlasting life.
Whatever happen to the days when we kept homosexuality in the closet. Those are the days I long for, when if your into having sex with men you keep it to yourself. You keep your behavior and your way of life way back in the closet, and where in the hell to people get off comparing this behavior with the African-American struggle in this country. I am mindful of the extreme cases of hate against those who practice homosexuality, but in comparison with what has happen to blacks. Please, stop.
i think some of us are just happy to see a brother get slammed for saying something off the cuff. gettin' fired, just like Imus.
kumi lee,
You sound like a desperate asian...begging for attention...i know the media ignores you guys alot,,(almost like you don't exist or someting),,isaiah..dude..be grateful you got fired,,now you dont have to make out with that ugly asian chick,,and that show is almost done anyways(one more year)you saw what happened to (lost) after they killed off the black dude ratings dropped now its getting canlcelled,,guess ABC didnt learn their lesson.well,maybe they did cause they used you to the last minute..all to all the gays in here don't be too happy,,abc didnt consider you important enough to fire isaiah immediately,,so really iwould be offended more about that..
P,S T.r knight is such a b.. , he has lived up to the exact word isiah called him..my God..lol
the dude did everything but sleep with himm,,,,maybe that is what he wants..hollywood...wiedos..
I have nothing against gays, in fact 60% of my pals are gays, but I have to say that gay or not, TR Knight is just mean! On and off-screen, he makes me sick! All my friends and family won't be watching Grey's anymore. The only thing going for the show was the chemistry between Burke and Yang.
Fagg*t
Fa**ot
F*ggot
*aggot
Faggo*
Anyway you put it, it's still the same - it's wrong.
God will punish you.
And T R Knight's friend, Katherine Heigl is one dumb biatch. you kknow what's funny? When both of em get it on, Heigl uses a strap-on on Knight...
And now Mr. Washington is saying 'They fired the wrong guy', calling himself a victim just like 'Paul Robeson and Malcolm X'. He just doesn't get it...and frankly, he's not fit to compare himself to Robeson and Malcom X. Gimme a break.
it's not about race or bigotry or any of that. He publicly made it known that he hates the gays. A queer plays one of the key roles on the show.
The producers of the show obviously have a gay on the staff. So they BLACK BALLED him. ( get it ? )
TV is all about queers and jews and left wingers these days. Sadly he is the minority in this one but not for the reasons he claims.
1) A person's sexual orientation is not equal to his/her ethnicity. Therefore, using the 'n' word is not equivalent to using the 'f' word, though both are hurtful terms. If you think the two are equal, then this proves that you are a racist; even the ignorant black people that decided to be sheep and side with the ignorant people that compared the two words. All the ignorant people that compared the two should be pushed in front of a bus. Why you say? It is because it is not immoral to have a disapproving opinion of someone's sexual orientation. It is, however, immoral to be prejudice against someone for their ethnicity. Both opinions should never be expressed at one's workplace, however. Isaiah was wrong but he shouldn't be compared to a racist.
2) All of you know that if a white guy called someone the 'f' word on the set, he wouldn't be fired. Hollywood, like so many other parts of America, has a much lower tolerance for black people that make mistakes than they do for Caucasians who do so. I am so tired of people making it seem like the gay guy was such a poor victim--as if he had never been called the 'f' word before. He is such a loser cry-baby who needs to grow some balls and stop sucking on them!!!
True. Racism can never be compared to any sort of bigotry. The AfterElton site happily gave the gays grist for the mill, by asking that ridiculous (seemingly loaded) question...........what if the N-word had been used ...is not the use of F-word just as bad ??
All of them, the media and gays and esp. racists and racist gays being the most rabid......jumped onto the bandwagon. Since AfterElton.com every-biased-one has just been parroting the same meaningless drivel endlessly.
The very people who are denouncing the use of the F-word by comparing it to the N-word ..are the most hate-filled racists ever.........and I do not know how the innocent or ignorant or naive people have not noticed how manipulatively it is being used. I am sure number-wise it is the racial minorities outnumber gays. So if the heart of America bleeds for minorities then why don't they and the media ...support the huge issue of racism. All they do is focus on, magnify and mollycoddle the gays. Are they the priority among minority issues ?
The gays piggy-back on the N-word to further their own cause......whch includes racism. This crazy twisted ways and reasoning they have used is both scary and sickening. N and F words are not and never will be the same. Trivialising racism like that is the work of the racists. The minorities that suffer racism should have made a far greater hue and cry than TRK ever did at this gross misuse and injustice. This manipulation of everyone in America, through media, is extreme. People are BORN into their race. The question of sexual orientation does not even( or at least should not) arise until puberty has been reached.
Where is the comparison ?????? It is a paradoxical argument used by the racists to use the N-word as a comparison in order to subject people like IW to racism in a very twisted way actually.
TY to AfterElton.com for being so simplistically manipulative. They been so clever that you even have the blacks apologising for IW. How clever. Also, how media converted a non-homophobe into one by brainwashing on and on, until the poor man himself had to act like he beleived he was one. Wow.
