Yeah and can you IMAGINE if someone white had used the 'N' word what would have happened? They should have fired his @ss day one! What is good for one is good for all so wake the FCUK up!
I feel for Isaiah. Not only was he rebuked for expressing his opinion in what is an allegedly free country, but he now finds himself unemployed after trying his best to make amends. It seems Isaiah offended one too many homosexuals in Hollywood. His fate was sealed the minute he let his views on homsexuality -- a view shared by the bulk of the world -- be known.
Good riddance! His 'rehab' was obviously just an attempt to save his job. He repeatedly lied about what he did. His role was a privilege; it wasn't a right. If I did what he did at my job, I'd be fired too. He is entitled to all the freedom of speech he wants - in the unemployment line. If someone else on the cast used the 'N' word, do you think keeping them around would hurt group morale?
I agree with Mike M. As an African American, there should not be a double standard.
The freedom of speech that is afforded to American citizens extends only to Gonvernmental control. The Government cannot stifle free speech, this does not affect how a job acts. You cannot go into a job and cuss out the manager then scream 'free speech' just as you cannot expect to be in a position where public image is so important and cause waves.
Good riddance to him! I'm glad they fired his evil ass! He makes the rest of us look bad and not all black people are like him!
any sort of attitude towards homosexuality short of complete celebration of it is now a thought crime, and no punishment is too harsh. Washington found out the hard way, did his secular penance, and was thrown to the wolves anyway. Apparently some crimes are too harsh for any forgiveness, including dislike of male homosexuals. Too bad for him he didn't merely kill someone while driving drunk, or slip DHP to some coed - he would still probably be on the show today.

Poor guy. What ever happened to freedom of speech? In America it should NOT be ok to punish people for their beliefs.
