Isaiah Washington Says Racism Was Factor in 'Grey's Anatomy' Departure
Thursday, June 28, 2007

NEW YORK — "Grey's Anatomy" star Isaiah Washington said racism was a factor in his firing from the hit ABC series after he twice used an anti-gay slur.

Washington, who initially used the epithet during an onset clash with a co-star, told Newsweek magazine that "someone heard the booming voice of a black man and got really scared and that was the beginning of the end for me."

He tried to make amends by expressing remorse and volunteering to enter a counseling program to understand how the confrontation got out of hand, he told Newsweek....http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,287272,00.html

Then racism was also a factor in his getting the job in the first place.

Then racism was the reason for Don Imus for getting shit-canned.

When two sacred cows of PC liberalism collide, in this case a black and a gay, each has a convenient excuse if they lose.

Blacks scream racisim over every thing. If a white guy had made an anti gay slur, it's doubtful that he would have remained on the show either. It's convenient, it's become part of the culture of being black.

These sacred cows are like poker hands and unfortunately being black is only like having a full house. At this snapshot in time you are not the top dog anymore! In other words you got trumped Biatch... Welcome to the real world!!!

Latino = Royal Flush
Homo = Straight Flush
Muzzie = 4 of a kind
Black = Full House

He's right. Blacks are scary. When they come to a Halloween party, they don't even wear a mask. When you ask them what they're dressed as, they say 'a black man' in a booming voice. Frightening as all hell.

Good on this guy for pointing this out.

You are correct in your observation sir!

[buckeyepete]

Let's not worry to much for him, folks. Jessie and Al will be there shortly.

[PrezLeefun]

This guy is an ass. He threw in the race card as a sympathy ploy. He Hopes the PC sensitive world will look.

[Riverboat]

Love that card, Rhino. Is they a version for blended whites, too? ;)

[Lazarus]

He's right. Blacks are scary....Dat's right, Bro... They skeer de hell outta me... That's why I agree with everything PrezLee says... For Crissakes, Dont make her mad - She's a black tornado of death when she gets stirred up... :biggrin:

Hey these kinds of stories are the only real entertainment that we get from Hollywood these days - Nothing more entertaining than seeing a pack of PC-infested no-talent liberal actor-wanna-bes getting their PC tails all tangled up...

And what did this manly, threatening, booming-voiced, black demon do when he was outted for his Un-PC behavior?He tried to make amends by expressing remorse and volunteering to enter a counseling program to understand how the confrontation got out of hand, he told Newsweek.... I think Im gonna spew my lunch... What a bunch of whores... Why didnt you just go off to a hotel room with the Homo and "make amends" in private on your knees? And for God's sake, don't tell us about it...:rolleyes:

[BEST45CAL]

The problem isn't racism. It's anti-heterosexuality. If a person is what he is, then how is that derogatory? How can gay guy complain if someone else calls him fag and it's true? Being called a fag when you are not should be derogatory, not the other way around.

Maybe it really was the big booming voice and the way he called him a 'faggot.'

lol

Racism Was Factor In Firing

Yeah, we know already. We knowed that before you wuz fired. We knowed it before the show even got on the air. We knowed it when you wuz in high school, dude. Heck, we knowed it before you wuz born! Before they was color teevee! Before man came outta the caves! Before t-rex lost his molars and went extinct!

Man, we done knowed this so long, that guess what? We don't give a shit no mo! No, nor half a shit! Not so much as one-tenth of one percent of a shit do we give. Naught! Nada! Zippity doo dah, zippity zoo!

And we don't care, neither.

Did you make that card, that was so genius.

Well some black guy called some queer a fag and got fired......either way the PC sensitive jerkoffs will pick a side. Maybe the whole black guy vs queer fella will ignite a PC civil war of namecalling.

[Phil Osophical]

What struck me was Washington saying that whenever white men hear the booming voice of a black man they get really scared. He has confirmed what I've been saying all along that blacks want to be feared by whites.

[UhUhNoWay]

He's right. Blacks are scary. When they come to a Halloween party, they don't even wear a mask. When you ask them what they're dressed as, they say 'a black man' in a booming voice. Frightening as all hell.

This must be why James Earl Jones can't find work. He's too scary!:question:

Also...wanted to point out...the creater of the show...is a Black woman... I kind of doubt it had anything to do with his color. Probably more a case of homosexual community putting pressure on the advertisers..plus..his character was kind of a big drag anyway...had he been more popular and making them money..he would have stayed.
But ya know...whatever he needs to tell himself

Remember American Girl with Margaret Cho...only so much mileage you can get out of making fun of your family's accent (and that is more funny to other Amer-Asian or Asian Americans because we know exactly what they are talking about)...the only other funny thing about Asians...is the whole driving thing..and that would have started a big hooha Basically Asians ain't that funny...we're more of a drama race...think...Joy Luck Club...that's much too heavy for a weekly show
(oh and before you get offended....sok...I'm 1/2 Japanese..so I can say this stuff ;) )

[DesertFox]

I 'member that one girl in high school. This was 40 years ago and we weren't very sensitive in them days. The girl looked Asian, and I thought she was Japanese and fell in love with her cuz she was so 'exotic.' All the other guys panted after her, too, some thinking she was Chinese, others swearing she was Filipina, still others that she was Thai, and one guy even thought she was Korean. Exotic, don'tcha know. Exotic was hot in them days. Then we found out she was American Indian and lost all interest in her. No longer exotic. In one day she went from being the hottest girl in school to being -- well, to being not hot.

We did learn something from that, which is that sex appeal is all in the mind.

Um I was kidding in my post. Did nobody see the [Al Sharpton mode] tags and the smiley face?
I know very well the reason there are not asian shows all over TV is because there simply is no market for it.
Margaret Cho? eeeewwww She is a lesbian, leftwing, foul mouth nut anyways, so I wouldn't watch her show if it was in the top prime time slots with the best ratings.

[Sarah]

I always wanted to be on that show but they don't make them anymore. :sad:

[Timberwolf]

Yeah...it looks like fun...painful, but fun. :D

I was kiddin too..did you not see the smirk on my face as I typed that? :smirky: No market because the Asians it would be geared to wouldn't have time to watch as they would be studying math or something

I spent most of my study time watching TV and reading sci-fi novels. It's amazing I graduated from college or even scored high enough to get in.
Must have been that good ole affirmative action that saw me through. :biggrin:
