Isaiah Apologizes; Says Comment "Marred" Globes

211. I think they are making a big deal out of nothing. He said faggot. Who cares? News/Media....yes, because they want ratings. Fact: T. R. is a faggot. He said he is gay. So what. Maybe T.R. made a pass at Isaiah. Maybe T. R. is a racist. I don’t know but it’s no big deal to me. I am sure the gay guy have heard worst. If not, he is a wuss. The faggot or gay guy or whatever the correct PC term is needs to fight his own battles. Don’t go the Ellen’s show who is also gay and keep this feud going. The impression I got was a reporter asked Isaiah a question regarding the feud and Isaiah answered the question. Isaiah said he didn’t call T.R. a faggot. If Isaiah did call him a faggot, so what. T. R. is a faggot. He is gay. I think they are making a big deal out of it because Isaiah is black and the gay guy/T. R. is a white. Isaiah has apologies again. I also think Isaiah is an excellent actor. He should not be fired and I'm not a fan of Grey's Anatomy. Isaiah If you want to keep your paycheck, I advise you to just say "no comment". You are going to have to do some ass kissing for this. Isaiah as a black man you know how white people can be and now the gay community. I am sure T.R. (gay guy) use profanity and did call Isaiah all kinds of MF's and the N-word in the privacy of his home. Who knows what really went down? Katherine Heigl needs to go somewhere and sit her ass down. She just wants her name in the paper. I am sure Isaiah wife will have his back if Katherine wants to get bad. The N-word and faggot are in two difference category. Don’t ever compare the two. Maybe T. R. (gay guy) doesn’t like blacks. Yes, maybe Isaiah should have use a different word but T. R. is a faggot and he’s gay. This is true. Isaiah has apologies twice. Get over it and let it go.

218. You gays are right. Isaiah should be fired. He should be fired because he made remark about your group. Now if he was white and made a racist remark about blacks, none of you would care because it does not concern you. It just shows how hypocritical people are. Gays have it rough only when it comes to certain issues like gay marriages. Let's see. Our black ancestors were taken from their homeland and brought over on ships to be sold in slavery. I guess the KKK was started because they had a problem with the gays. When I was in school, I read in history books how they would lynch gays. How gays had to drink from gay only water fountains or use gay only restrooms. How you were pulled from your homes by the KKK and your deaths were ruled suicides. You gays do have it rough. I also read how hitler used genocide to kill over 6 million gays and send them to concentration camps. History is full of your hardships. Then you want to throw your gay panties in a bunch when someone says a remark about you or won't let you marry each other. You should be thanking every black out there for rights you have and the freedom you have as well to protest. Next thing you will be telling me Martin Luther King was killed because he was gay. It had nothing to do with him being black. This shows how you only care about your cause. Screw everyone else. About what if one of you guys made a racist comment about blacks? I have heard and seen first hand how gays are quick to discriminate against blacks and used the N-word, when they themselves get discriminated in return by society. Alot of you guy are hypocrites as I said earlier. Gays look at race just like the majority of whites do when showing anger and hate towards black. So you guys go on thinking that all of you are without sin. Don't force your beliefs on on everyone. If people don't like your life style then so be it. We have the freedom of speech and choice in this country and none of you are going to take it away whether you agree with it or not. I wish it had been someone white who said it, because you and the media would have tried your best to push this under the rug and accepted his apology. It's okay with the gays and media to call someone a N*gger over and over, but we will put you through the ringer if you are black and make a remark about gays. So hypocritical. The only reason blacks watch that show are because of the black actors. If they didn't have them, they would lose viewers and then it would be just another show called (ER).

219. I love Grey's Anatomy. I love the show and all of its cast members. I understand that some people are not happy with Isaiah and his recent behavior and use of the word "faggot." I understand that some people want him terminated from his job. I think that is BS. First of all, its just a word. A word that has been used to demean and vilify a certain group of people-homosexuals. But the man has apologized. The apology may have been a lie. It may have been genuine. It may have been BS. We don't know. We'll never know because we weren't there the day Dempsey and Isaiah got into their initial confrontation. What I do know is that if Isaiah were to be fired, Grey's Anatomy would be missing a large part of its essence. My favorite relationship on Grey's Anatomy is the one between Isaiah's character and Sandra Oh's character. If Isaiah were gone, no one would be able to fill his place. The show would be.... essentially lacking. So, lets all move on, get over it, and enjoy a show that will continue to rake in Oscars and Golden Globes. That's all that really matters right?

220. Whites and gays are hypocrisy. There is a white gay man who name is Charles Knipp. Who dresses up in blackface as a character he calls Shirley Q. Liquor and describes as an “inarticulate Black women on welfare with 19 kids.” Set to perform during Black History Month in West Hollywood. Where is the cry for outrage from whites and the gay community? I don't hear about a petition banning this gay white man. Why isn’t this story on CNN or the other news stations? Media is going to run this story to the ground because they want ratings. Isaiah will probably be black balled (no pun intended). I do not think Isaiah should be fired. I think he is an excellent actor and He has a right to make a living. He made a mistake twice. We all do. No one is perfect. I’m not a fan of Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t watch the show. If they fired him, the show will not be the same. I think it’s so funny how white people and the gay community can easily replace one black man for another. I guess all blacks people look the same. I think there is more to the story. I can only assumed Dempsey said something fuc**ed up to Isaiah. I. W. had to put his ass in check. When black people stand up for ourselves. We are views as aggressive, hostile, angry or have a bad attitudes etc. They (Washington, Dempsey & Knight) should all be thankful that a sister Shondra Rhimes who plays Dr. Miranda Bailey on the show made them stars. In white America eyes’ blacks are always considered guilty until we can prove we are innocent. The media loves to depict negative images of African Americans. We see this 24/7 on the news, cops, ect. As black people we should know by now that everything we do is scrutinize And as a black people, we have to do better than anyone else just to be consider equal. We have been given subliminal messages to believe everything black is bad and everything white is good. This is a big lie. Isaiah said faggot maybe he should use the PC term the f-word. T. R. is a faggot. He is queer. I am sure he has heard worst. If not, he is a wimp. In the famous words of Martin Luther King Jr. We must learn to live together as brother or perish together as fools.
